OPAM: May 08: Completed!
My One Project a Month (OPAM) for May is finished! :o)
Some pics...
As you walk in the door, my drawers to the right, my shoe cupboard straight ahead & my beside table. I should have had the maid (Ha! oh yes, that would be me wouldn't it?!) straighten the bed BEFORE I took the photo!
Our bed. The picture Ren gave me maybe 8? years ago. It was always meant to hang above our bed, but this is the first time it actually has done so!
We have so much furniture in our house (& still have storage issues! The joys of old houses!!) so in an attempt to soften all the wood I added a few soft furnishings....
Like mohair rugs - these are actually the kids rugs & they use them on their beds in summer, with winter here & the doona back on their beds these would normally be stored in a cupboard. Come summer again when they use them I will just *have* to redecorate! ;oP
The little cabinet to the right is our medicine cabinet. Some perfumes. Zali & Fynn releasing balloons. Under the glass "jar" is an evening bag a good friend gave me some 10+ years ago (so girly!). Shells from our wedding day...
My bedside lamp I got when I was 8? yrs old. My most favourite perfume. My tin money box from when I was a little girl :o) and a picture of my youngest sister when she was maybe 3? I don't know why inparticular, but I just love it!
So there you go! All done! Cluttered with furniture & all... but NO purple in sight! Georgie would be proud!!!
I'm heading to Perth tomorrow to do 4 shoots! Driving back on Sunday (Mothers Day) to hopefully spend a few hours with the kids!
Will try & post before I go, but if I don't have a wonderful weekend!
