My little workspace

My husband received a new desk for his birthday a few weeks ago so we had to move his previous white desk into the other spare room where I decided I would set the desk up for me to use.  I do a  lot of work at home so it has been great so far, just need a TV in there to accomodate my ridiculous addiction to having a TV on in every room.  I can't even brush my teeth without taking my iPad with a youtube video on it into the bathroom.  

Here are a couple of photos of how I set it up when I moved everything in, it's changed since I took these photos.  I still need to paint the room but it will also eventually be a nursery so I'm thinking about doing Gold dots on one wall.  I have a Cameo Silhouette so will just need to order the gold vinyl and cut out lots of circles.

I love my personalized iPad mini case from this Etsy Shop

I glittered the bottom of my letters in Gold, they will match my spotty wall

Loving this cute waste paper basket I got for $3 from Officeworks

This couch is right next to the desk, Gaston fell asleep on the pillows while I was arranging everything onto the desk.

 There's so much more to do but at least I have finally started organizing the room that kept bits and pieces of EVERYTHING.  Will keep you posted on any updates.

DIY : Striped Bathroom Walls

Striped Walls

This past weekend me and my 11 year old cousin decided to paint my downstairs bathroom.  We raced to Bunnings before it closed and chose a colour.  I was wanting a very subtle silver or gold but the one we chose definitely wasn't subtle.   I am pretty impatient and couldn't be bothered taking a long time to choose the paint and basically just chose the lightest goldy colour they had.  We ended up buying PEWTER ILLUSION by DULUX in a sample pot for only $20.

 Here is the bathroom before, it was really hard to take photos of this room

 The other side of the room

 Husband helped for about 20 minutes before he got distracted by his computer but at least I got him to help me tape up the wall.

 1st coat is done.  For the second coat the man who mixed my paint told me to criss cross with a brush.  I didn't really want a brush look so just used the roller for the second coat. 

 Finished!!!

 It's so pretty, I love it even though it's much darker then I wanted

I really need some different accessories in this room now to match my stripes!!
