final days at ky....

Final visual dedication to our house. Having a quick break from packing to bring you a final post from Ky. Who knows where I'll be posting from next.

another Etsy artist...

I've been seeing these wall decals around for a while now. There such a great and easy decorating idea. Pretty much a big sticker, but fully removable and they don't damage walls, as a renter I see there potential. ShaNickers is currently a feature artists on Etsy and one of the first artist producing these decals with a great array of designs and at a very reasonable price. Of course I was drawn by the branch and bird design.

But then this monkey caught my eye. What a great design for a child's room.

A different colour makes it work with the wall colour.

...and she does dragonflies... girl after my heart...

There is also a few of her decals available as chalkboards, what a great idea.

These designs range between $30 and $80 for a larger one like the tree loosing its leaves which is 1.6 metres high. They could easily transform a room yet a whole lot easier than painted on such a design as you just remove it. Visit her site for more designs and information.


*And thanks for the lovely comments regarding my last post!!!!!

a visual tribute to our house

With our re-location to Balllarat drawing nearer, we say goodbye to another house and head for our next home.
To quote a sexy and clever man - John Butler (and I'm sure a few others) - "..And i say Home..Home is where the heart is...yeah Home"
I'm a true believer that a home is what you make of it and has really nothing to do with the physical structure. However, you have to feel something towards your environment you've spent so long in, so here are a few new photos of my yard and a montage featuring colours of a few of the feature walls and lime green kitchen cupboards...




We will miss all those yummy apricots...












We will miss the golden elms shade in the summer...




I have a love/hate relationshp withe the array of weeds in our yard...





a visual tribute to our beatiful Golden Elm..
