Can't help you but, boy, that is one awesome ceiling fan!

So fantastic- one day when we find the right home to renovate, I am stealing a few of those ideas. Congrats on a lovely reno!

Perhaps you could uninstall the bars and use a sliding window stopper. These are easy to install yourself and allows the window to be opened as far as is deemed safe ie; not wide enough for a child to squeeze through, but stops the window from being opened any further. I would get a wider curtain rod and put up some beautiful linen curtains for a fresh breezy look (and privacy at night). Ikea have some lovely ones at a ridiculously low price.

What a cool cat Frank is. And what a magical home.

The first thing I do when I rise in the morning is put a load of laundry on ( I do two loads a day). After breakfast and school drop off, the laundry is ready to hang on the line ( we only use our dryer if its absolutely necessary ). For some reason, once the laundry is taken care of, I don't feel so overwhelmed and can tackle the other daily essentials. I put the radio on nice and loud and dedicate forty minutes to the chores. I feel very lucky to have the luxury of time. Those who work outside the home have to find time whenever they can.

Sexy. Great choice :)

Pipped at the post on a mid century gem with stone fireplace, underground sauna(!) All on a 1500 sq m block in a quiet street backing onto native bushland. If one more person says `It wasn't meant to be' , I will kill them!!(even though I guess its true) I still have pangs of disappointment. The seller took the lower offer due to our offer being subject to sale. Lesson learned: Only start looking when your finances are all sorted. :(

Just waiting for some predictable gasps of horror from the usual suspects regarding the -shock! horror!- painted over wood. It looks divine to me. Very scandi, very chic. Better than dark, drab original by a mile. :)

That pot is beautiful. Living within your means is way classier than being a kitchenware snob anyhow!

They will look so much better in white-wooden beams are so dated and really do close up a space. Scaffolding is great, but if youre scared of heights, hire a professional.
