A peek around my home.

I thought I would show you how my house is looking at the moment. So many projects unfinished but I'm slowly getting there!



So first up Project "Jasper's room". I wanted a wall sized map of the world for a long time. I looked everywhere but nothing was the right size or right price ;) And commitment phobe that I am couldn't do the wallpaper option. 
So what else to do but get one made up myself! 



I'm quite happy with it but I just want Simon to make me up a white frame to go around it and finish it off. I'm not holding my breath though as I am still waiting on the trims from my bookshelves :)



So still a few jobs to complete here, repaint his bed (that we cut down from bunks)and a few other bits n bobs for his other wall.

In other parts of the house I have added splashes of yellow in anticipation of Spring!



Jobs to do here include finishing the trim on the bookcase (Simon!), change to sisal rug once the warmer weather comes in and also thinking of painting the coffee table white to lighten things up. 


Loving fresh flowers everywhere.
 My 2 jars from Armchair Collective. Not sure what to put in them yet. Any suggestions?


I've pared down the buffet and dug out some old family pics to display. I love having old photos around :)


I had to have an S for Simon & Simone of course!


My in progress gallery wall including some prints from Etsy and gorgeous artworks from Kerri :)I need to change the lampshade to white. I'm sure I have one in the cupboard somewhere.


Same cushions in the other lounge area. 
They are from Country Road and are so cheery.


Some prints I bought off Etsy from Evajuliet that I have above my desk. Love the typography and the message is very calming and positive :)


I also added some flowers to my bike that I received from mum for my birthday. So pretty, hmm I must gurney the footpath too!

So I have completed a few things but still lots more on my list! (and Simon's) I still have my vintage mirrors to be hung. 
They have only been wrapped up for about 5 months now!

We had the Council Clean up on the weekend. It was so satisfying to clear out the garage and just get rid of "junk" that we have held onto, "just in case". I listed a few things on Ebay as well.So as you can tell I am in the mood for a Spring clean.

 After a busy and productive weekend I am off today to watch Finn race at the Zone Athletics Carnival. So no cleaning for me today but my windows are on my list for tomorrow :)

Have you started a Spring clean yet? 
Or a you a sensible soul who keeps up to date with their jobs year round?

Have a wonderful day
Simone xx
