Hi there! Whilst I'm not even close to feeling like our home is presentable enough to share with you all, I do feel I owe you a few little updates! You might remember
this post from back in November... well as you will see below, I decided on both the cushions I was considering, although I ended up going with the Schumacher Summer Palace cushions in charcoal rather than navy blue. I must say I adore them both! AND as I had hoped, they both tie in with
the curtains you may remember me whinging and moaning about :}

You can purchase the Shumacher Summer Palace in
charcoal from here and the Chiang Mai Dragon in
aquamarine here. Both Etsy sellers were a dream to work
with and both products are just beautiful!
I couldn't be happier :) |

I have been wanting to purchase both of these
Papillon Butterfly prints for too long now! |

I particularly LOVE this green one with a hint of
turquoise and think both will tie in perfectly with
the above new cushions :) My mission this
week has been trying to find the perfect frames!
You can purchase both from the lovely and
super talented Kerri @ Driftwood Interiors.

Now, moving onto the master bedroom... you might also remember
this post where I thought I had narrowed it down to a couple of cushion combos. Well, after spending a little more time browsing through Etsy (the best place to purchase cushions in my opinion!) I fell in love with a fabric that I considered fresh, funky, fun and a touch feminine (with the bold floral print) and my mind was made up. I am still umping and ahhing about whether or not to team these with a pop of colour at the back but here are the gorgeous cushions...

Well in our new place here is Sydney it has found a new home in the informal dining area just off the kitchen (in our previous home it was in the living/formal dining area). Last week I purchased this '
Banks Mirror' from Freedom and this afternoon I had it hung (along with our cherished
Narate Kathong painting which is now gracing the walls of the formal dining room down stairs)!
It looks fabulous, gives the cabinet a new style and is a perfect fit with our dining table and floorboards. Once I create a vignette to go with the mirror (on top of the cabinet), I'll be back with a little show and tell :)
Besides the above, it's been a case of out with the old and in with the new in the Bouw household. Mr B has been helping me de-clutter and I have been selling up a storm on ebay (which is completely new to me!) to try and get rid of some bulky items we no longer want or have room for. And as a result the last week or so has seen us become the proud owners of a Weber BBQ, new kettle and coffee machine, new laptop and printer and a new ironing board... exciting stuff I know hee hee :)
Oh and I also purchased something funky for the toilet this afternoon (yes, the toilet!) but I'll save that for another post :) x
