My Little House

I am obsessed with home decor!!!! I'm totally into Pinterest trying to make my house look like magazine standard which is pretty impossible in my tiny townhouse.
I have been having lots of fun with a can of black gloss paint, randomly one day decided I didn't need to have my husband with me to go and get paint so headed down to Bunnings and grabbed everything I needed. I only wanted to paint our hideous 90's apricot staircase a beautiful shiny black. It was surprisingly easy and turned out really nice seeing I had never painted before.

I had about half a can left so grabbed my old white dressing table I got about 10 years ago for my b'day and painted it!!! I LOVE how it turned out. I have wanted a Ghost chair forever and thought this table would make a cute desk for my laptop to be on. We set the table up downstairs in a little corner. We went to DARE furniture on the weekend to buy my Ghost chair only to find they had 1 black one on sale from $350 down to $99. I can not go past a bargain so had to get the black which I'm in love with now. 

Can't wait till we can get a new bed, dying for one with a padded headboard thing, don't really know what they are called.  Also want to wallpaper the wall behind the bed.  Did anybody notice what the pillow says? hehe

This week we also purchased another long wanted item for our bedroom. Mirrored bedside tables!!!!! Now we just need a pretty chest of drawers instead of our wood ones which do not match. Seeing as though I've got paint crazy I'm thinking of painting them with the remaining black gloss paint.
 Our Puppy (well he's 1 now but he's our puppy) loves going to rides in the back of the ute.  He's wearing another new jacket, my mother spends more money on him then on all of us kids combined.  

 Me and the Husband finally used one of our wedding gifts, our Breville Juicer.  I've been pretty sick lately so thought some carrot juice might do the trick.  It didn't make me better but it was pretty good.  The juicer itself if really good, we don't have much in our fridge so only had some carrots and an apple, the apple definitely makes it takes a little nicer.  Cleaning the thing is a pain in the A$$!!!!

Only 2 weeks until I go to San Francisco!!!!  I haven't been buying much lately because I know I want to do some shopping over there.  I might have to do a post of my USA wish list, it's getting longer every day.  Anybody have any must dos while in San Fran?  I've never been, I have been to America quite a few times but not there.  I'll start getting excited after this week, last week of classes and it's Parents Watch Week which is so exhausting having to teach and have all the noisy parents in the room.  7 classes tomorrow!!!!!  I also have to figure out substitute teachers for while I'm gone.

I would love to do OOTD (Outfit of the Day) but unfortunately I only ever wear workout gear.  Fridays I get to wear normal people clothes and also on Sundays

KITTEN D'AMOR opens this Thursday at Carindale!  Is anybody else excited???  Husband says I'm allowed to buy some stuff cuz he likes that style.

My First Post

All about me...
I am 27 years old.  Recently married (1.5 months so far)  Have a pet Sun Conure parrot.  Run a business.  Learning to be a wife.  Planned my destination wedding in Thailand.  Love making interesting gifts for friends and family.  Love watching my fav T.V Shows before they come out in Australia.  I really want to share all the pretty things in my life through pictures (i'm going to have to download instagram and figure out how to use it)  I want to add pics of outfits but as I am a dance teacher I basically only wear workout gear (Lorna Jane & Victoria's Secret PINK) everyday except Sundays.   I am going to San Francisco in just over a month and then to Bora Bora for our Honeymoon (late I know) so hopefully lots of fun new things.  I don't know if anyone will ever read this blog so it may just be an online diary for me. 


This is Amigo.  Me and my three brothers bought him for mum last mothers day from a breeder down in Sydney.  We organized for a pet taxi to go and pick him up from his breeder and take him to the airport and check him in for his flight and we met him at the Brisbane airport.  He is a bassethound and my mum in completely obsessed with him.  He is now 1 and is humungeous!!  He is super spoilt and has grown out of 2 Driza-bone jackets already.  Mum also has a miniature pony, chickens and stingless bees.  Will have to post photos one day of her mini farm animals.


This is Coco Chanel.  My baby parrot.  This is when she was only a baby eating a pizza off my daddy's hand.  She loves pizza but her favourite thing is ice-cream, she goes bonkers over ice-cream.  Coco screams at the top of her lungs every morning and pretty much anytime you leave the room and don't take her with you.  She can do a few tricks, shake, turn around, hands up (she puts her wings up) ... we really need to work on some more tricks. 

Well I'm going to go and see if I can figure out how to post this and then might try another one tomorrow after I get Instagram on my iPhone
