Must Have

If I ever got my hands on this picture I think I would pee my pants with excitement!

Its featured in the current issue of Lonny. I have loved it and admired it for a long time now. 

For those who know me and Jonny will know we love pop art - Its pretty much the only art we have. PLUS I love Liz Taylor  so this picture is pretty much a win win in my eyes!

....

In other news its my baby girl Penny Lanes 5th Birthday today! I cannot believe we have had her this long - it feels like yesterday we picked her up from the breeder!

Bathroom Inspiration

We currently have the ugliest bathroom ever. Im pretty sure this song was written for it! 

I'm loving the subway tiles at the moment so here are a few inspiration pics that I'm using for when we have the coin to do it up....

LOVE the mosaics!

Looking at these pictures makes me want to start tearing out our shitty bathroom today!.... but we all know this won't happen.

(Not too sure where these pictures are from as I have way too many saved and in the excitement of saving them haven't noted where they were from... sorry)

Lazy

Once again I have been lazy with this blog. I have gone back to work and TAFE and have slackened off on most other things.

So here are a few updates:

We finally got an art work for our hall way! (hooray!)

We found this smoking' hot art in the back of a clothing store - when we asked the girl working there where they got it she said it was a promotional art for one of their brands and we could buy it off them! This made our day! AND its perfect for the hall!

Secondly - Valentines day was last week BUT Jonny does not believe in this day so we have "Love Day" on the 15th. We generally just eat burritos on Love Day for dinner. BUT I thought I would do something a bit better then just burritos so I baked heart shaped Jaffa Friands - holy moly they were delicious!

But wait there is more - I made Jonny 2 big multicoloured love heart crayons! (he is a big kid at heart!) I found these babies here. They were super fun to make too! 

On a side note - I have not yet sold anything :(. BUT am thinking of getting a bunch of items together and going to one of the many markets.

Items for sale

So I have finally completed a few items and put them on my Facebook page to sell:

I still have 4 more bentwood chairs to do up - One is in the process of being painted magenta, I also have one to be painted a baby pink. Still deciding on what colours the others should be at this stage. 

Alice in Wonderland

Apart from Interior Design, Renovating etc I love planning parties. My favourite party I planned was an Alice in Wonderland themed party my friend and I organised - just for the sake of having a party. Work was quiet and we were slightly obsessed with the new Alice movie that had come out so we started to plan a Mad Hatters party. We went to a lot of effort with all the details but I think it all paid off!

Everyone drank from tea cups, we had little "drink me" bottles that we had scattered around the table, I made gingerbread men with their heads cut off (in reference to the Queen), I even made flamingo croquet sticks!

Bentwood Chairs

I have started on my Bentwood Chairs! I have decided to keep 2 for me and sell the last 4. 

Im only up to the priming stage... on 2 chairs! eek!

So far:

In other news I have created a business page on Facebook where I will sell all the items I have done up and or made. Just look up "Sunshine Avenue" on Facebook.

Latest Project

I have been wanting to get my hands on some bent wood chairs to do up for a while and finally found 6 just the other day! I cannot wait to do these babies up. I will post progress photos once I have started.
