Before & After....

good afternoon!

thanks for coming to look at my lounge room yesterday,

it was lovely to get all that positive feedback...

i appreciate every single comment.

it was actually mr w

that came up with the idea of filling the space above the cushions on the chinese chest...

have a look at the 'before & after'

and see what you think.

this is looking through from the dining room...

a night view..

{so the light is different from yesterdays shots}

before

the painting is on the wall.

after...

what do you think?

is it too long?

or the frame too bold?

or just the wrong colouring?

i can change the cushions...

i think i'll have to live with it a few days to decide properly.

here is a close up of the painting...

mr s's fiance's mother painted it for me as a gift.

it shows two little birds in a wisteria vine.

all the kids are back at school up here in queensland...

this morning the shopping centre was school kid free

and i had a relaxing cappucino at gloria jeans

with a piece of raisin toast.

i seriously had to give away eating so much banana bread

as it is the equivalent of eating four slices of cake ..i think!

whether you are surrounded by holidaying kids

or back to 'normal'...

i hope you're having a splendid monday!
