I posted this Laura Ashley lampshade a while ago after I bought it, so you may remember it. I decided to choose the Laura Ashley 'Selby' lamp base for it, and I absolutely love it!
Thankfully this antique table and chairs managed to survive relatively unscathed after the 'Great Storage Flood' back in March. They used to sit in the bay window in our old house, and knew they would sit under this window in the lounge room. I know I have waaaay too much on the table, but many things were unpacked and dumped as they didn't have anywhere else to go!! The cat loves catching the sun here:
Closer detail of the table, with 2 of my 3 Eiffel Towers', and an apothecary jar I received for my Birthday last week. It probably won't stay here, but might sit with another 2 larger ones...somewhere! I also love my chunky keys I bought in Richmond, Tasmania last year:
Cushions in the lounge room, I still have 2 more to buy:
Part of my bargain hall table, which I adore. I'd love to show more, but it has a pile of broken down storage boxes underneath! I plan on getting a mirror in the next couple of days to go above it, so I'll post more then:
The one item that has made it's way up on the wall! The 1 metre diametre clock I bought a year ago and has been sitting in storage. It's now up in the meals area and I love it! Keeps good time too ;). I may transfer the pussy willow branches into something else, but for the moment I'm happy for them to stay in the modern pink metalic vase!
Lots more to organise, but I'll get there eventually.

Hi Stormy,
Its been long time no update from my side, its all happening finally, site start has be done today. Hopefully if every thing goes fine the handover will be in March.
Your house looking great, now you are decorating it will be fabulous home.
Have to organise other things now. I like you floor boards, can you please share some info on that and carpet too.
Hope to start the blog soon.
Thank you.
Ismail
Congrats on finally reaching site start, Ismail! Best wishes for a smooth, trouble free build.
Floorboards are engineered Boral Silkwood, in Spotted Gum with the Australiana finish. Your best bet is to have a look through the Homeone forums, as there are mixed reviews about them. Carpet is by Brintons, and it's a woven 80% wool, 20% nylon twist pile. Top quality, and I expect it to look as good as it does now 30 years down the track!
Hi Stormy,
Thanks for that.
Heard wool carpets are hard to maintain, as they shed the fluff.
Where did you get it from, any contacts and price info to share, will be helpful.
Great pics Stormy. Love it all especially the birds on your hall table. Beautiful cushions too.
Love the lamp and the clock... it's all coming together beautifully. :)
Hi Ismail, This carpet doesn't obviously shed too much at all. I do tend to vac it almost every second day, though! http://www.brintons.net/ Check on their site under carpet ranges for Australia, and you can find your nearest approved dealer. I ordered mine on sale for about $89 per square metre.
Thanks Toni and Kek! Long way to go, but getting there slowly.
