Getting closer: A tantallising preview

A sneaky preview this morning of our not yet completed renovation! The fixtures are about to go in today (I HOPE!!) after 3 weeks of tempestuous weather, perfectly timed for outdoor toilet and shower use...ugh. So, in the ensuite, below (which used to be wasted hallway space), I snuck in with the vanity unit and a few textiles... oooh, I'm getting excited!!

 In other exciting news this morning, a mention in 'Reveal' magazine, a Canberra Times liftout! I'm so happy to be included in Canberra's Bloggeratti!!
Awesome!

Written in the dust...

Today, a blanket of concrete dust.
Delighted.

Rising from the rubble

As things progress on our major bathroom rennovation...

 ...I'm feeling the need to create some pretty among the rubble and dust. So with some high gloss yellow, I'm making over some old bedsides for our new bedroom.

 

I've also been busy constructing part 2 (of 5) of our new wardrobe. Progress.

Demolition...

... has begun...

Alternative bathroom accommodations are good, but outdoors!

I just have to keep the end goal in sight!

Koko Christmas

Ooooh Christmas is coming, and with a low tolerance for anything with glitter and tinsel, it's been a little tricky to find anything I can actually deal with. Until I happened across Koko Black's Christmas stocking... lashings of colour and cutie pompoms, a row of these may just be lining the (faux) fireplace this year... though something tells me they'll be emptied before the big day!!!

 

And something for my cosmopolitan brother? A cigar box without the tar, in a gorgeous keepsake box...

 

 Better put some more of their Cinnamon choccies on my wishlist this year too.

Love it!

Frocktober 31: Finale frock!

Best for last? It's the Alannah Hill "Hold On Tight Frock" with my favourite shoes... love it! Contrary to the widget in the sidebar, my total for Frocktober has reached $361, not quite the goal figure, but way cooler is I may have inspired a guy-friend to do his own Frocktober Challenge - and he managed to raise a whopping $4,100 (and still going up!), which makes him the top fundraiser!!! Nice work Dave!!

Of course, a huge thankyou to my wonderful sponsors and anyone who enjoyed my Frocktober ride,
much appreciation to you! It's been fun... now where are those jeans?!!
