Through the looking glass...

OK here is an update on what has been going on around here...not much really!! Have been stuck in a rut the last 2 weeks or so as so much needs to be done I've been totally overwhelmed. I need to go back to my basics and concentrate on one room at a time. Only problem is that I keep coming up with ideas for other rooms that are yet to be started on...so here was my saviour...my mother made me a "padfolio" shabby chic style and it has now become my ideas journal so whenever I'm in the shower and come up with all these brilliant ideas (which is when I do my best thinking!!) or lying awake in bed thinking way too much I can just jot down my thoughts/ideas etc. in this...pretty neat hey?

I have managed to complete one door!! Yep you heard right one door only...each coat takes about 48 hours to dry so needless to say this ONE door has taken a long time...but certainly finishes off that side of the room...now just to get the blinds and the family room is finished.

I won this little gem off eBay a few weeks ago but it had wallpaper glued to the top which was just a lovely touch!! So that came off, sanded it back and a few coats of paint later...taa daa...

I have been looking for one of these for ages and was so happy when I won it and all for only $24.

Some photos of my gorgeous little man...I have been trying to take more photos of him as he is just growing up so fast (and also getting cheekier..if there is such a word?). I can't believe he will be 4 this year. We have also started talking about having another one but might wait till this one starts school (and I get my drivers licence!!).
