What I have been up to and the letter K

Well I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. I thought that when I gave up my second job I would have more time on my hands, now I am wondering where I ever found the time to go to work. I have been so busy repainting my lounge room, cleaning up the vegie garden, making a scrapbook for my father in laws 60th and making this for a family members daughters christening.

So here is K finally which is for -

Kitchen, well it is really the kitchen and the family room combined. I love the colours in these rooms they are so bright, cheery and fun (Ok so it might be a bit too bright and cheery for some but we love it.) A couple of years ago these two rooms were very traditional country dark green and burgundy, but then I found this in a store I knew it was perfect for us as Paul and the boys like to collect model cars, it sparked a whole new look.

This glass roseball (sorry the photo is fuzzy but since it is made out of glass it is hard to photograph) was Paul's grandmothers it gave me the inspiration to use red roses in here

like this -

I found this print at one of our local discount warehouses, the colours are just perfect for this room and I love the way the down light highlights it at night.

This rack was from the previous traditional country makeover, I just painted it white and found some red pots.

I do love scrapbooking but I also love to hang photos on the walls that way you get to see them every day.

This was one of my latest finds, doesn't Betty Boop just fit in perfectly. My in laws are going to the States in a couple of months and they are going to see if they can find something to go on the opposite side can't wait to see what they find.

Although the kitchen bench, cupboards and appliances all need replacing and there are still some things that are unfinished I can't help but be happy in here.

Cheers,
