Just one more week?

Its the end of the weekend and I have never been more excited to bid it farewell.
Reason being- Tomorrow I am expecting a call from the Development Manager of Stocklands with a further update.

I received an email from Stocklands on Friday saying they still felt confident that they would be able to lodge the land to the LPI by the end of the week. I am hoping my phone call tomorrow from the DM will further confirm this!

I am trying not to get my hopes up too much but with my birthday looming ever closer I must admit that I have never wanted anything more for my birthday than my land being sent off on its merry way to registration. If its the only gift I get then it will still be the best birthday present ever!

Anyway whilst I wait ever so patiently for my land to register all I can do is continue my shopping expeditions, and I must say- I have done just that valiantly.

Last weekend I started to consider the bedroom. I weighed up whether I wanted to get a whole new bed with a bed frame or whether I would just get a bed head. I decided I would go with a bed head and had an idea of what I had in mind....now I just had to find it.

Lucky for me fate smiled upon me when I went back to the store I had purchased my coffee table from to pay some more off the lay-by. As I was getting ready to leave I noticed a bed head which was nice but not what I wanted. I made a casual comment to the store owner along the lines of "thats a really nice bed head, I am looking for a bed head, but something a little different to this- do you get many in here?"
She replied "I usually always have one or two different styles in the store at any one time- I have just ordered a new one off piece and am waiting for it arrive, would you like to see a picture of it?"
Naturally I replied "Sure".
I mean why not?
Lucky for me I did because when the owner showed me the picture of the bed head it was EXACTLY what I was looking for AND she had ordered it in a queen which was precisely the size I needed!! I took it as a sign that I was meant to have it and asked her if she could put it aside for me when it came in as I would like to purchase it. I was so happy that I didn't need to go looking for it- its like it found me! Wahoo!

Anyway- here it is!

Isn't it awesome! I am in love! Can't wait to get it...... I just have no idea where it will go (whilst I wait for the house to be built)

Stuff to fill my home!

After watching copious amounts of House Rules I must admit the thing I am most excited about when it comes to building my house is the thought of finally being able to decorate it! Lets face it- who doesn't love a good deco here and there.

Admittedly one of my favourite past times is looking at furniture so I have been spending many a weekend trolling the furniture strips at Warrawong as well as visiting smaller boutique shops in an effort to purchase some one off pieces that I think will go well in the house! 

I have a vision in my head of what it will all look like- so hopefully it actually comes together the way I am envisaging! 

Just in case any of you are interested- here are some of the things that have caught my eye so far and are currently spilling out into my mother's second lounge room (Sorry mum- love ya)

I love all things horses....so naturally I purchased a horse canvas. No idea where it will be going as yet but I am sure when it does find a home in my home it'll look great.

 I purchased this light but in white wash...because I love all things white wash. I am hoping it goes with my white wash floors!

These are the white wash floors I have chosen to go through the house. They will be everywhere but the bedrooms. I kinda wish I got floorboards in the bedrooms too, to be honest....Oh well. Maybe later when I'm more cashed up.....in 20-30 years.....

The bar stools I have purchased for the breakfast bar! (Also currently in the Mums lounge room)

So far I have been going for cool colours. Greys, blues and whites. Trying to get that breezy relaxed beachy feeling through the main areas of the house- as I said before if I cannot live on the beach I'll just have to bring the beach to me!

Thats all for now! I'll post more pics of my collections as I collect them!

Self control......

Is something I do not have in an abundance!! I am impulsive and make spur of the moment decisions without thinking about the consequences!

This morning I had an impulsive moment. I bought a coffee table for my un-built house. Couldn't help myself. As soon as I saw it I fell in love with it and had had had to have it. I can safely say I am not regretting this impulsive decision because this one off piece will go perfectly in the house. 

See for yourself!

ooooo la la :)
