Learn 2 Play: The LEGO Room


Ohhh the organisation, the compartmentised containers, the filed instructions, completed Lego projects, and NO Lego on the floor. Its a Virgo mothers dream come true
I thought we had a lot of Lego! Its nothing on these adult Lego fans and proof that Lego is for all ages. I'm so jealous of this Lego room...if only our house was bigger.....
 Awesome display of mini figures.
Quick go check it out!

New Years resolution...tick

This year Neil and I resolved to organise the kids rooms, like a lot of modern children they have far too many things! Back in my day...well you know the saying! Neil's idea was to open the wheelybin and start tossing but I managed to steer him in this direction instead..... with some spare timber Neil spent two days whipping up a shelving unit for Ethan's room and a desk for Western. I so love being married to a practical man armed with a power drill! LOL.
Western's shit stuff stack in one corner, there is a bed under there...somewhere.
The space where the desk is to go...

 One PS2 and a very old computer now have a home
24 hours later, the end result. Neil measured the PS2 game cases to make sure they fitted onto the shelf.

We used the space behind the door to stack the bookcases, don't worry they are screwed to the wall. 

 Ethan's room now has a wall filled with shelving for his toys.
 Later on this space will have extra shelves put in for shoes, once the toys move out.
 We made room for the Lego table , later a shelf can be added for a computer or PS2
Its good to have somewhere to put those bigger toys and yet more books. I love that my boys love books, you can never have too many books!

So thank you Neil you have made my year and ticked one thing of my New Year list.

This is a gift I made last night for my Mum's sewing room, a $3.00 vintage sewing pattern, some embellishments from the sewing shop a frame and one hour later I have one of a kind art for Mum's birthday. Thanks Pinterest!

Carey and the three beds

Once upon a time there was a girl (yes girl this is a fairy tale after all) who was very tired. She tried to sleep in the big bed but like Princess and the Pea she could feel every spring, she tried the big boys bed but it was tooooo saggy, she tried the little boys bed but it was saggier and small. One day a prince came to rescue her in the form of Farmers super sale. So off she rode to try out the beds in this new kingdom. She lay on the big bed, it was sooo soft, she lay on the king single bed and it too was lovely and soft and came with an extra trundler bed so she she said I'll take two! So with a flourish of her magic wand, (pen) she got to keep on new big bed and two king singles with free new duvets, 30% discount and 12 months interest free!
So now she awaits delivery on the 23rd and will sleep comfortably ever after......now to tell hubby she spent $3500!
Don't you just love this cake!

Awesome bed linen....I'm excited, are you?

I love the idea of a nicely co ordinated kids bedroom, you know everything matching and a great storage system for the millions of toys they own. My reality is not like this at all. My kids have handme down furniture and plastic bins for the toys (or the floor!). This is what I day dream about.....



 All can be found at www.dwellstudio.com. I like that you can even get matching school bags, toys, mobiles and wallpaper.

I love that owl! Owls seem to be very in vogue at the moment, I just like them cause they are cute.

Now reality is calling and the washing needs hanging out, have a great sunshiney day!

Here birdy birdy...



I'm loving all things birdy at the moment which is a good thing considering I have two in my tattoo!
Here are some cool things I have found while surfing....(who says I don't exercise enough, isn't surfing a sport)


I love the look of a birdcage but hate the idea of birds trapped inside
Bird baths can be a real feature of a garden...I WANT this one!

I love the idea of bird houses, we used to have one in our garden when I was a child
I'm loving the decal from Resenes, the couch is cool too!
This bird bunting is from harman&harman in Carterton.  Look good in her map paper too
would look cute in a kids room
As would these cute wee owls
My friend Ann likes birdcages too and uses them very effectively on her layouts
Not quite a birdcage but very cool anyway

watch out birdy!

Wicker wicker everywhere...

I'm loving these wicker/rattern things I found, I have always liked wicker or sea grass baskets and furniture. I actually own 3 nestled wicker coffee tables, which by the way are not practical at all! Food crumbs fall in them and you have to vacum to get them out, if I didn't have kids who also sit on them I would put plate glass on top.
This chair is very pretty looking but not sure how comfortable it would be?

Imagine all the craft supplies you could hide in these!

I love the cushions as well, I'm sure I should have born in America cause I tend to be attracted to the stars and stripes.




This just begs to be in a french country garden somewhere.
And speaking of unpractical coffee tables...this is very beautiful but imagine keeping it clean!

Wouldn't these look great on a wicker coffee table...if you didn't have firebug children.
I'm also loving this colour scheme for wicker furniture, not to mention the cool bookcase.
 And which of these awesome kids wallpaper murals would you choose? They have a sweet price tag of....wait for it....$1500 each and I think thats american dollars. Ouch

Theres always a tree, a damn tree in my stuff I like!


beam me up scotty!

awwwww

double awwww
