@splatgirl, mei-ling & miriaml,

While researching this the majority of the references I came across said it was made from cement so I decided to go with that in the post. UAP's Marker said it was "glass-reinforced concrete" but I couldn't find any mention of this anywhere else.

How did it feel/look up in real life miriaml? I bet it's so impressive!

That's not our actual lounges pictured- that was sent in from a reader asking if anyone has any tips on cleaning a velvet chesterfield [see the link at the base of the post].

It's one of my all time favorite photos on ATLA! Love a couch hogging puppy.

peahen - These are all bedrooms from real Australian homes [except for image 10 which is a B&B]. Bedrooms don't get more Australian than that!

Crumbs! How on earth is it Thursday already?!

How did everyone go for week 2?

Personally I fell way behind and it was only on Tuesday that I finished cleaning out the kitchen. We did buy a new kitchen over the weekend and hope to have that installed before the Cure is out. I'm excited but also overwhelmed.

Over the next few days I'm going to get our landing strip back in order - our main issue is mail & paperwork - and clean off the desk that has been sucked into being part of the landing strip simply because it's a near by surface.

There is still lots on my to-do list.

Overall I'm feeling a bit annoyed at myself for falling behind and it only being week 3. However there is still plenty of time to catch up and I plan to do it!

Hi All,

Sorry, didn't get around to photographing our house- ran out of daylight. Will post the link in the next few days.

Here's my week 1 review:
*Made a list of everything that needs to be done at our place & I'm now carrying it around in my bag for when I remember something I can easily add it
*Moping and vacuuming are a normal part of the weekly clean but we cleaned extra well this week
*Tonight we're listing a handful of extra furniture that I've been struggling to let go of on eBay starting at 99cents [our neighbors would vandalize anything we put out the front as soon as the front door closed]
*I was given 2 lovely bunches of flowers this week and picked a bunch from the garden
*Sat in our nightmare of a spare room for 10 mins- can't wait to tackle that room now
*We already use Murchison-Hume products, they are fantastic.
*Started collecting images for new paint colours

Okay, here is what I'm aiming to do for week 2:
*Fix something- what exactly is undecided!
*Clean out and clean the kitchen cupboards, pantry and fridge getting rid of as much as possible
*Touch up my unit walls
*Create an Outbox space and use it
*Buy some flowers
*Cook a new recipe from Maggie Beer's new recipe book I received this week
*Decide on a housewarming cocktail party- Turkish apple martini is the theme
*Make contact with tradies for quotes in the next few weeks
*Find and order a new light fitting for the hallway
*Order fabric for new bedhead
*Will look into a water filter [but I'm not sure about this one]

I'm really trying to complete everything in the book as I know it's there for a reason. How has everyone else gone in the past week? What's the plan for the coming week?

Hi Catherine & those to follow.
Doing my first cure, very excited. Hope to clear out some of the clutter and doing odd jobs around the place but focusing on 3 main areas- guest room, work desk and FINALLY finishing bathroom reno. Look forward to hearing everyones updates throughout the cure.

Damn it, broke my 9 month no spelling mistake streak.

I would love to see more photos- this looks amazing!

Golly, she is so so sweet! Absolutely adorable, you must be proud as punch!!

Lizzard & eribear12 - It appears &Accessories no longer exists!! Using the links that I was working off last night, Etsy says "Sorry, the user you are looking for no longer has an active account".

Sorry to tease you all, but they were still open 12hours ago!
