Shiny Happy Kitchen {Inspired}

Black and white Imperial Trellis wall paper + Mirrored under cabinetry, can't find anything wrong with this image! In fact I see a DIY window covering in my near future! {Stay Tuned}.

{Bookends GO Black Glossy!}

These Neigh Neigh bookends I scored for $4 from a thrift store received some Strokes High Gloss White Knight Paints {in Glossy Black of course}.

Seriously the best paint for a High Gloss finish! 

Over the weekend we ate out with friends and family A LOT, whilst driving back from dinner one night we found this beauty on the side of the road. The Mr quickly hoisted it into the back of our car {one of the many advantages of driving a 4WD}.

PS: My niece got creative and decorated this birthday present for me {a creative little DIY'er in the making}!  The gift was a beautiful cushion that said LOVE awww.

DIY wall stencil {Inspired}

How great is the wall Stencil in this Nursery designed by the talented Kristen F. Davis designs

Kristen was good enough to include a little DIY/ How to Here

Hummm it looks simple enough, go forth and stencil people!.

Around the house {Installed Birthday presents}

Here is the mammoth size Photograph installed in our lounge room

+ My Birthday present from the Mr {Ceramic Drum Stool}

Yes somebody ME might have asked for "said Stool" in an anonymous (or not so) email link, or excitedly pointed out of the bus window the shop near us that had one in the window, whilst proceeding to tell him the exact price and quantity they had on hand.

+ I Used the birthday money from the In Laws to purchase these flying ducks. Maybe it is a sign of my maturity but both my Mother and Mother In Law have flying ducks around their homes.

+ Hopefully this week I will purchase a new camera with some of the Birthday money from my parents.

Etsy find {Wall Hooks}

The lovely girls at Something Gorgeous asked where I managed to snag my awesome Stag head Wall Hook from in my {recent purchases} post Yesterday, Well - I have to tell you it was a hard task to only purchase one as he was only $16USD + $14USD to ship all the way to Sydney AU!.

Mr Stag himself was purchased through Etsy Store Monkey and Squirrel.

My shopping basket was full at one stage with these also:

Mr Moose

Umbrella

Chubby birdie

Mr Welcoming Moose

Something a little Regal

Ps: I am not sure why I call them all "Mr"?

Lounge Room Decor {Recent Purchases}

What a great weekend I hope you had a good one (despite the rain). We have progressed in leaps and bounds with the Lounge room Decor, over the weekend I finalised a few things/ made a few purchases.

Beach Photograph
I purchased this beach photograph about 1 month ago by Rebecca Plotnick, I had it mounted by a local Framing Store it is finished off with a white matt and thin black frame (Photos to follow for sure). I adore this photo so much I cant stop staring at it, I already have a few favourite people in the photograph that I have given names (Truck mudflap girl is most recognisable). The Etsy seller was nice enough to print this in a custom size for me, it is a massive 75x112.5cm.

Flying Ducks

I also purchased a set of flying ducks from Domayne by Robert Gordon Australia (my three beauties are black Glazed).

Wall Hook
I just purchased this wall hook for our entry way (Mr Hubbs is going to get a surprise when this turns up at his work).

PS: How great is shopping online - you can literally Shop around the clock! We have our PC hooked up to our Television, I pull all potential online purchases to full size and see if they work with the room.

PPS: Loony inspiration YUM! this room makes sea grass roman blinds look so Chic!.

Thinking of adding a little colour to your life with cushions? I have been totally inspired by christine from bijou and boheme post on Danielle Oakey Interiors about Textiles.
