Bathroom Bliss

Our bathroom was the first room that we renovated, in what would be a 7 year project, so bear in mind that I was about 22 years old when we designed the room and on a budget, luckily hubby is a joiner and can paint 2 pack. The joinery is 9 panel doors in 2 pack, with cashmere gold granite.

We had the leadlight window made locally to fit in the existing double hung window, we put a glass cover on the outside to reduce the recommended maintenance for the lead lighting from annually to every 10 years.

The floor boards are original to the house and are just polished without stain, which gave us our colour base for the interior of the house.

We lowered the ceiling as this is half of one room, the other half is now our walk in robe and ensuite, which i will show later. to check out other posts on my house click here.

Hall Of Frame

I dont know where i got the above pic from, but I love it. you could have a party in that hallway. I love that everything is dark timber and white walls. I also love how the front door is understated, with the use of clear glass in the side panel and high light.

Below is my front door. Needs it final coat on the outside and i am thinking of painting the inside dark grey to match the outside and give some interest from th einside of the house, now that i have seen this pic above, hubby bashed it up pretty bad when he droped a door along the face of the door and damaged all of the moulding.

So in the Feng Shui world my chi would be deflected at the front door. As your front door should be immaculate and the door knobs should be working and well adjusted, we still need to paint the door, replace the lining boards with "cricket bats" and add the lock and dont look at some of the cracks in the lead lighting. But overall i love our front door, i turn the light on in the hallway at night, just to show it off to passers by.

Also need some feature light fittings in the hallway, but cant decide. can you help?

I have also including our swinging door that enters the lounge room off the hallway, but should have waited till dark to take the pic.

My Bed Post

Over at The House That A-M Built she posts a new bed for us to pour over every monday (as above), and imagine my surprise when i went there this morning and she has tagged me and four others (The Laurel Hedge, White and Wander, Lily G & Attic Mag) to take part in..., well i actually dont know what it is called but I will post my answers later. Thanks A-M.

Anyway this morning she posted the above bed from chic shack.

So I thought it might e fun to and get bloggers to post pics of their beds, please call your post
MY BED POST and then invite 3 others to do the same. here is mine.

My hubby made me this bed for my wedding present, the first time we slept in it together was our wedding night. As you can see our bedroom is in desperate need of decorating and curtains. So any ideas will be greatly appreciated

I Invite The House That A-M Build, Villa Anna & Absolutely Beautiful Things to share their beds for next week.

Eames it up

I have just ordered my, well hubby's eames loung chair in cream, to go in our bedroom for the time being and two bertoia stools for my island unit. I won the eames longe chair on an ebay aution and added the stools to the order from his online store at milan direct.

I am also really wanting the eames DCM, I thought that I wanted them in walnut, but have decided that black would be better for two reasons, 1. I want my joiner hubby to make a timber table, and this way i dont have to stress about colour matching timber and 2. Our curtains are black and gold so they would match in that way, oh and i also just got a new leather three seater lounge below, but in black to go in the dining room.

My Mantle

My husband designed and made this mantle from MDF and then painted it in 2 pack, we inserted and granite hearth and a clean air fire. I love our fireplace it adds so much warmth to our house, even when it’s not lit.
