My home - a few little changes for Spring :)

I added a few little changes for Spring.

I wanted to bring in some blue and green so I did this with my accessories. New cushions, lampshades covered with new material and I painted some of my fence palings. It didnt cost a lot but I feel like everything has been refreshed :)

Our lounge/dining room.

The lounge room. Our previous rug was beyond saving due to toilet training Jasper and the new puppy at the same time. Yikes!! I was at Ikea, NOT looking for a rug but when I saw this green one I thought why not? It wasnt overly expensive so when I get sick of it and Im sure I will, I wont feel toooo guilty!

The fabric in the frames inspired the whole "theme". It was from Duckcloth.

Behind the scenes, so to speak.

 I like that when you first walk into the room the kids toys don't overwhelm the room but they are easily accessible. The 2 ottomans are full to the brim with books and toys and you can see the basket!

Dining room table runner is left over from the cushions. I got the material at Ikea too.

I came home with a lot that day!

I recovered the ottoman with the same fabric as previous cushions and the table runner. You cant see it clearly in the picture but it is a green and white stripe. Lamp shade is covered with left over fabric too.

I have been using my coffee table books as decoration lately.

They are spread throughout the house to add extra colour :)

Close up of table and my beloved ghost chairs :)

Buffet stayed the same. I just added the blue and white stripes to the fence palings to tie everything together.

Bathroom is the same. Just added a bathmat with a bit of green.

Can you see my bathroom door in the mirror with the man/woman sign?

These were from Pulp and I thought they were a cute touch :)

Other lounge area. Same cushions etc, I just need to add the blue and white stripes here too.

More coffee table books.

Bedroom. Ikea, Ikea, Ikea!

My little flower pots are coming along nicely. They will add a touch of colour to each side of the front door.

Outside. I recovered the cushions as they were quite manky with fabric I already had.

Cushions from, you guessed it..... Ikea!

Nothing too overwhelming, all very cheap and cheerful but it should get me through Spring/Summer without doing anything else.

Oh thats right, Christmas will be coming up, the gardens are not finished.

I dont think this house will ever be done :)

PS - After looking at these photos I realised my camera is crap and I want a new one!
