Live Breathe Decor

My weekend was more productive than relaxing. LOTS of cleaning and washing for me, tidying up the garden and enjoying the sunshine outside (if you’re in Melbourne, wasn’t yesterday perfect weather-wise?). Lots of day-dreaming about building a new house. I hung this colourful painting that my sister did for me last week:

Cute huh? (Please excuse the terrible iphone photos! My camera has died and I’m in desperate need of a new one!)

It’s not so much a copy but shall we say heavily inspired by a painting I love by Guy Maestri that I saw in a magazine:

I was in one of those really motivated moods yesterday when I finally got started on a few projects I’ve been putting off for ages, and turned this vintage Chippendale chair:

into this:

In the cold light of day I can see the seat needs another coat, which will have to wait until my next hit of motivation strikes! I did manage to have the two grey and white cushions (there’s another chair that matches) with black piping made ahead of time. I know the curtain doesn’t go well with the pillows, these are my thick lined curtains that we put up to keep the warmth in our little old house in winter. I know exactly what I want to replace them with, but I’m still trying to track down the fabric I have in mind (that’s probably another post altogether!).

Happy start of a new week xx
