My Home Tour

Welcome to my home.

I hope you enjoy the tour!

FRONT PORCH

March 2018

The main changes to the front verandah are the posts which were black and are now white.

I've also added a new door mat, a fragrant Ginger Cardamon plant, Ikea lanterns, a wooden bench seat and Ikea check cushions.

ENTRYWAY

Entryway Makeover - October 2018

Wall Paint Colours - Dulux Limed White Quarter and Vivid White

This was once a very plain entryway.

I've since added gorgeous white board and batten walls with a Dulux Limed White Quarter accent.

LOUNGE ROOM

Lounge Room Makeover - November 2017

Paint Colours - Dulux Limed White Quarter and Vivid White.

This would have to be my favourite room in the house.

When we moved in we had the carpet removed and the original floorboards polished.

The Plantation Shutters were a huge selling point when we bought the house. They let in so much light and look divine. I added wainscotting to the walls and painted the top half in Dulux Limed White Quarter. And I sanded back our french doors to their natural wood.

DINING ROOM

Rustic Farmhouse Style Dining Room - February 2018

Wall Paint Colour - Dulux Limed White Quarter and Vivid White.

We took the carpet out and polished the original floor boards prior to moving in.

We added a new chandelier which I painted black and wrapped with jute twine.

We painted the dining table chairs white. I made the large interchangeable Cafe sign.

I added wainscotting to the walls and painted the top half in Dulux Natural White.

HOLLY'S BEDROOM

Holly's Pink Bedroom Makeover - March 2016

For Holly's room we removed the carpet and polished the original floor boards when we first moved in. A few years later I added the white board and baton around the entire lower half of her room.

We removed the curtains and added pink block outs on Ikea curtain rods.

I recently painted a feature wall using Taubmans Ballerina pink.

I also added new bedding, new pink storage baskets, and a new pink rug from Ikea.

LOCHIE'S BEDROOM

In the bathroom, I painted the vanity in Dulux Vivid White Enamel paint and added silver knobs.
I used an aged effect with white chalk paint on the mirror frame.
I also painted the floral wall feature tiles white.

In the toilet, I added distressed crown moulding and painted the floral feature wall tiles white.
