http://www.walnutivory.com Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:01:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en To kick off this fabulous Friday (oh how I love Fridays!!) I thought I'd share the latest happenings at Walnut & Ivory homestead! This is the living area before, with the previous owner's furniture... And this is after a few 'afters' since I moved in, as I've now moved my dining table ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=595 Just a quick update on my new dining arrangement... It involves white paint makeovers! Mirrors and natural light! Proper update coming soon :) http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=588 So I got a little colourful in the bedroom today... It was a little too white before and I had extra pillows lying around so I thought 'why not?'. The colourful quilts are handmade by the boy's Gran... The tissue poms have migrated from the lounge room for the winter. So for the ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=575 After realising that the current layout of my house wasn't working for me, I decided to move things around (again!). One of my main gripes is the open living plan of this house. I'm much more of a separate rooms kind of girl so am finding it difficult to arrange everything ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=558 I've been wanting to make my entryway more inviting for a while now, but as I've had absolutely no budget to do so I had to get a little creative and shop the house! Are you ready for my super amazing entrance, the first impression as you walk into my home?? SHAZAM!! ... ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=548 Let me just preface this post by saying I am in no way, shape or form any kind of gardener or landscaper. My 'green thumb' has killed many a plant in it's time so for now, I'm probably safer gardening on Photoshop... This is my backyard, it's horribly barren and I'd ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=288 1. Spraypaint – So you’ve found the perfect chair at the thrift shop … only it’s brass or something even worse (but honestly, I can’t think of anything worse than brass!). Solution? Spray paint it! Half my house is salvaged goods that are better than new, and all they needed was ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=533 This weekend turned out to be fortuitous indeed! My fiance's Dad built a blanket box for their bedroom (they have a bay window similar to ours) but it was a bit too big.  After seeing the blanket box earlier in the week  and asking if I could have one made ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=512 Well I finally got around to organising a guest room this weekend! I've been putting it off for a while now because the two end rooms of my house had become a dumping ground for all our junk that didn't have a home. I'm happy to say I now only have ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=499 Good evening my dears.. I trust everyone enjoyed their Easter (as well as the extra long weekend - which some of us had cut short by work, but nevermind that!). This weekend I found myself supervising the installation of floating shelves all over the house.. One such room I haven't ... http://www.walnutivory.com/?p=483
