A White Corner of My House

I think the best thing about having your own gift & homewares store is that you get to display gorgeous things throughout your home all the time!

It is so lovely to be able to change the decor when ever I like, or whenever something new arrives :-)

Right now, I love this corner, I love the white and

I love the lanterns, especially the big one.

It's makes a great feature piece

I don't even have candles in the lanterns and I love them :-)

The clock is just lovely

so pretty & French

Oh, and look what I received in the mail

more about this tomorrow along with a giveaway

that quite possibly has something to do with today's parcel...

but that's enough for now

Pop back tomorrow for more news.

PS. We did finish the paving yesterday, YAY!! Only 987 more things left to do around the house.

Just a quickie

Hello to all my faithful friends who stop by to make sure I am still alive!

I know I have been really slack at keeing up with my blog

but I have been visiting you all, just not always leaving a comment !

Sorry : (

I though I'd share a quick makeover I got round to on the weekend,

ok a few weekends ago, last wekend I was painting lattice....

Yuck what a tedious job!!!

We bought plain lattice to use as screening in the yard

and as a support to grow some star jasmine on

but we wanted white lattice so in order to save money

we bought the cheaper stuff and decided to paint it ourselves.

It takes forever with the spray gun and is very messy with a brush,

believe me I tried both and I still have lots more left to paint.

Anyway.. back to the quick makeover

We bought some $9.99 lanterns from Ikea a few weeks ago in an industrial silver

we wanted them white,  so out came the spray cans of glossy white paint

 and voila!

in next to no time they were done!

I took out all of the glass from the lanterns and set up my portable spray booth,

after three light coats of spray paint they were done!

We bought 6 of the lanterns to use in our new outdoor area

(which I will show you one day soon),

  I used one and a half cans of the spray paint.

and the best thing is it only took an afternoon to do!



Don't you just love quick makeovers!
