rolling out of bed

Lots on for today.

JD's family are throwing his dad a surprise 60th party.

Need to bake. Get my hair cut. Pick up food. Pick up the marquee. Get off the internet!

Wishing you an awesome weekend!

new sheets..

Feels like Spring is here..

There's something really nice about putting fresh sheets on the bed as the warm light filters through the blinds on a sunny day.

These are my new Ikea bed sheets. They remind me a little of Orla..

new pretty linen

Stuck at a suburban shopping centre today I thought I'd kill some time time at Dimmey's, minutes later I walked out with an entire new set of bed linen.

JD & I got well acquainted with the various suburban shopping centres, random discount stores and asian grocers whilst gathering supplies for our engagement party. I think we may have bought all the packets of polaroid film left in Melbourne.

1 Floral pillow slip $1, 2 Grey ticking european pillow covers $8, Blue quilt cover set (incl. 2 pillow slips) $40, Steely blue/grey stitched coverlette $40 TOTAL: $99

Our bedroom

I tidied up for you...

During the week it gets quite messy, clothes thrown in frustration each morning, my magazines left lying around...

Our side tables are old milking stools. JD's stool is where the ugly tech stuff is kept eg. alarm clock, mobile phones etc.

This room goes through re-incarnations every time I change quilt covers. I bought this quilt cover from ebay for only $40!! It's a light musky pink colour & has a lovely subtle white floral paisley/floral print. I love it!. See it up close & buy here - The seller has more!

I'm thinking of changing the wardrobe door handles

Maybe something like this:

I'm watching some brushed stainless steel ones on ebay at the moment but not sure if they'll have the same effect.

We're getting new white wooden venetian blinds this week! After 7 years, we can get rid of the crappy, dirty beige & bent, clunky aluminium blinds!! Yay!
