Beautiful blue milk glass
I found this at my local thrift store for $4 - beautiful blue milk glass now sitting pretty on the dinging room buffet. I have been busy the last few days finishing off the study - happy to say it is now almost competed and I will take some photos to share.
Happy Friday - I hope you Wills be enjoying the royal wedding festivities.
Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?
I found this top to a clock whilst thrifting recently for $2, the sales person asked what I would do with it - I was not quite sure at the time. Once I got it home I decided to pair it with a blue and white plate (thanks mum) and a stack crumb of choc chip cookies..
It's previous home would have looked something like this:
I was inspired by the domed cake stands that have become quite popular.
Round round baby, round round
Sorry for the lack of posts over the week....I have been shopping up a storm in Melbourne with my mum & sister.
I took these photos before I left of the bits and pieces collected from the markets last Saturday - here they are around the house.
Round round baby - This mirror has been moved above the dining room buffet (from its previous home in the powder room). Loving the look of round mirrors at the moment, I followed the advise from the many beautiful comments received in favour of the round mirror option for the design board I created for a friends master bedroom.
Silver tray is now a bar tray - my favourite drink is gin and tonic and my husbands is....Malibu & pineapple.

The silver rams head chair is "back in blue" and is sitting under the stunning Sketch 42 painting.
Brass and glass....
The set of books is sitting on a shelf in the lounge. The frame is a gift I gave the hubs for our 1st wedding anniversary (It is a saying that we made up).
I hope you have a beautiful weekend, I will be spending mine baking and catching up on all of your blogs.
Weekend haul + amethyst crystal cluster obsession
The weekend at the Rozelle markets was very successful indeed - take a look at all the amazing (and relatively cheep) bits and pieces I picked up:
From left to right:
Aside from dinner with beautiful friends, a successful market haul & visiting the in-laws I found time to re-style the dining room table, buffet and television cabinet (photos soon).
From left to right:
- Cut glass candle stick holders $5
- Set of 4 colour coordinating books $20
- Australian wide veranda house sketch in black and white with painted timber frame $15
- Amethyst crystal cluster $20
- Lucite number "1" $2
- Silver serving tray $10
- Brass candlestick $5
- White candlestick holder $3
My friend was deeply concerned about the amethyst crystal cluster purchase, she compared my excitement to Spencer Pratts crazy eyed crystal obsession - rest assured I will not end up looking like this (not many people can pull off tye dye and look rational.. Spencer included):
The crystal ended up looking more like this
No crazy eyes in sight - just a polished silver bar tray and allot of sparkle sparkle.
I was inspired by this image Via Table tonic

Trunk + Thrifting + Guest post = Busy
First things first....The 9 month saga with the trunk has finally ended, after hours and hours hanging out in our garage with an Ipod, paint stripper and a sander trying to strip back the mission brown paint to the metal cladding, I felt defeated and purchased some ivory spray paint.
I am in love with the result - what do you think? I have placed it in our spare bedroom and filled it to the brim with all those spare decorating pieces I don't want out at the moment. So much storage in a old steamer trunk - recommended if you are sparse on space like us.
It started out looking something like this (not the exact trunk) naughty DIY 101 - Take photos before.
Speaking of decorating pieces - I went thrifting with mum and picked up a few small frames ($1 and $2) I love the soldier he seams very regal?. Thinking of painting the small bamboo one a bright colour - maybe yellow or green? or keep it natural?.
Today I am visiting my beautiful neighbour - The talented blogger Simone from Honey and fizz her house is amazing you should pop over and take a look. If you want to find out more about me check out the interview post Here.
