Single Fronted Cottage - Master Makeover

After- new built ins and white fireplace

Housewarming gift - Love print from My Sweet Prints 

Much needed storage

LOVE my new curtains

Simple and hopefully timeless lighting- yellow walls still to be painted.
Colour suggestions?

Before!

I always knew this little SFC had great 'bones' it just needed a facelift!

I have thoroughly enjoyed decorating our Master Bedroom! Hope you like it?

Can't wait to share the rest of the house.

A Garden Update

Yet again sorry for the absence.

Those who follow me on Instagram will know I've been busy entertaining my lads at the beach during the school holidays. We have had so much fun!

A few of you have emailed me asking for an update of the garden. So here it is...............

The back garden which I have been focused on keeping alive during the heatwaves here in SA. 

Looking out to the front paddock during Harvest 

The back garden during spring

Repeat plantings of aggies, lavender, irises and rosemary throughout the garden.

The footy & cricket lawn to the North of the house

Pierre's from my garden- best year of these yet! :)

Looking towards the formal rose garden

More aggies which are all now yellow and crisp after the 40 degree days.

When frustrated and impatient its good to reflect on where we started.

Enjoying the back garden 

The back hedge - 6 years old & finally getting there! 

A reminder of the before! Look at those tiny box hedges.

Looking up the driveway. We have since planted Cleveland Pears each side all the way to the road.

The reason for  having these doors. Beautiful afternoons like this one, looking out to the garden.

 Harvey outside the front door.

A few exciting plans for the garden in 2014 including a garden pavilion behind the back lawn.

Look forward to sharing the plans soon.

Six Years Ago

The garden is coming along!

SA Life March 2012

Six years ago we moved in to our brand new house. 

The building process was somewhat frustrating not helped by the fact that I had a 9 month old baby and another one on the way.

It was all worth it in the end.

I adore our home. I think it fits beautifully with our country family life and has only got better and better with time.

The large garden is still a work in progress and always will be but images like the above remind me of how far we have come.

I am truly grateful for my family, home, friends and lifestyle!
