Bathroom renovation part 1

Well you all know we are doing up our house this is another stage of the ongoing money pit we call home ha ha ...

So here is an update via photos of the main bathroom...

This is where the vanity and mirror were...

This was the shower....

Mmm don't know what he is doing here but this is where the bath tub was...

Do you want a soak in this lovely tub .....

Ahh so he drinks while working  I thought you were suppose to whistle while you work ha ha ...

Yes Kev it is a mess ....

Now to fix all these holes.Kev said he wanted to do the pull down himself as the tiler would be rough and make a mess......come on repeat that .....make a mess....

Here is the culprit well that's if you can see him under all that dust and dirt...

All jokes aside he has done a great job and I am very lucky to have him doing it..

Just Jaxon

Just had to show this cute picture of Jaxon.

Kerry had just washed her hair and he wanted to copy her with the towel on her head so she put one on his head and he sat there with a big grin on his face..

So this is just a quickie very cute quickie...

Pineapple Craft.

 

 

I love these pineapples from Kmart for $9 .

Usually I fill with wax and use as a candle  to give as a gift .

I had this white pineapple in the cupboard and as I am doing a massive craft clean up decided to do something with this one....
                          

This gold paint is from Spotlight and is great such smooth coverage and dries really fast.

Originally I only wanted to paint the stalk but I got over spray on the base so oh well I guess I really wanted a gold pineapple anyway...

Here is the finished beauty ....

It turned out gorgeous and I gave it to my daughter in law for her house as she loves gold...

So now I'm on the hunt for more things to spray gold...

Easter Wishes

Wishing all our friends and family a wonderful Easter...

Hope the bunny leaves you lots  of chocolate eggs...

Goodbye March

March was a great month....

Jaxon celebrated his 2nd birthday hasn't time flown by there...

Aidan had busy times at school and in his after school fun...

My health well we will just leave that alone....

And finally Kevin has started on our bathrooms. He is doing Aidan's first...

Aidan is loving it smashing the tiles off and making a mess.

So goodbye March   see you in 2016 bring on April..

Yellow Challange

This week on Instagram I was asked to join into a 5 day challenge where everyday you post a picture of yellow.

Now you all know I love yellow so I jumped at the chance.....

Only one problem ....I had to do seven days as I liked it too much ha ha

New project sneak peak..

This is our main bathroom.

The toilet is in a separate room.

Oh how I hate these two rooms....

We have renovated quite a lot of our house .It seems like that is all we do ha ha ha  ...

Anyway the time has come to finally renovate these two rooms...

I have been wanting to do this for years .We bought the vanity and tiles last year but just didn't do anything but its full steam ahead now ...

The skip bin has arrived.....

The demolition has begun....

Kevin has a little helper...

Kev said he is doing an amazing job he knocks off the tiles then puts them in a bucket and carry's them out to the skip bin and empties it then is back to taking the tiles off again all while looking cute in his boxers he he he ....

So this is just a sneak peak  I will keep you up to date on our progress....

Busy school week

What a busy week for Aidan at school last week...

It started off with St Patricks Day Cupcakes..  this went down real well with his classmates...

Then the next day was Harmony Day and they had to wear orange accessories....hence the socks...

Of course that included orange hair spray.....

He looks like Ginger Meggs I love the orange....

Two days later they had Pink Day to raise money for Breast cancer....

This time they were allowed to dress in pink clothes  -we went with tshirt  and pink socks and.....

 Yes PINK hair spray...

Lucky it washes out really well....

Aidan looked great...and to top it off they had a lunch time disco and every one got a special pink water bottle and a pink donut...

Busy week hey but that's not all.....

When he went to gymnastics that night  which by the way he is loving it...

He got an award for passing his first level.....

So yes it was a busy week  but it was also a fun week where lots of memories have been made

My bedroom remodel

We well...... OK I decided it was time to  redo my room.

What was just to be new carpet ended up being a full on job.....

We had already got rid of the glass wardrobe doors and have lovely new ones...

So we painted all the walls Lexicon white which is my favourite white....

Then I decided I wanted a feature wall again after I said no I don't want one and we painted that wall white.

So then we had to pick a colour for that  I chose Puppy ...

Whoop Whoop new carpet looks very similar to what I had till you walk on it omg it is wonderful...

Kev repainted the doors in the gloss..I cant believe how dirty the old colour looks...

Photo bombed by my fur baby...

I bought this new quilt cover as I was sick of the plain white and just wanted a touch of colour- now to get some European cushions and some pillows....

Urghh  cleaning and washing my crystal what a job that was but gee they all looked great when finished.

Here is my new quilt cover with the European cushions and more pillows...I go with the thought that there is no such thing as too many cushions...

My stool that my friend Fiona painted for me...

Having the walls painted white now is beautiful.

This room feels so clean and fresh now everything matches perfectly loving it....

Just wanted to give you a sneak peak of my new vanity for the ensuite. The renovations for this will start just after Easter....

Check out Kevin's face in the mirror as he tries to work out how will it fit ha ha ....

My new white stool...

 I have bought a lot of furniture from Fiona at Lilyfield Life   and I would recommend her to any one she does such a beautiful job...

Recently she posted that she had this stool for sale either as is or she would paint it.

It was a cute stool just a nice size and the tops lifts so you can put something in there if you want...

Well I wanted it....

Fiona painted it the same colour as the rest of my bedroom furniture (that she has painted for me)-Lexicon White....and covered the stool pad in a lovely neutral colour.

I am very happy with it ....

It looks great where it sits under my window.

So once again thanks Fiona for another beautiful piece of furniture for my house..

Kevins chocolate crackles

Kevin and Aidan love chocolate crackles but not the regular ones with copha .

They like Kevin's chocolate crackles made Kevin's way...

So if you want to make yummy crackles you  will need...

rice bubbles around 3 cups..
coconut 1 and a half cups...
and the main ingredient -Nestle chocolate buttons 2 bags..

melt your buttons in the microwave
then add to rice bubbles and coconut and mix
spoon into patty cases and refrigerate.

Best part now is enjoy them.......

My health

Urghh what a scary past week.

I had found a lump in my breast so off we went for a mammogram.

While having this the doctor came in and decided I needed a ultrasound as well great...

So that was a lot better than the mammogram if that can be possible anyway I went home to have a crap night worrying about the results.

Thankfully nothing to worry about.

I have a lot of scare tissue where I had lumps removed from my boobs before and lots of calcification in both breasts which they said not to worry about.

I do  have two masses one in each breast that they want me to come back in 3-6months to see if anything has changed.

So like I said before I go one step forward two steps backwards.
