Did someone say dinner party?

The long weekend comes with extra time to relax or in one's case, to renovate.

So it was time to finally get the paint brush and roller out to finish off the dining room. So white paint in hand we hit the dining room and in what seemed like no time the dining room suddenly felt inviting:

It comes around but once a year

So this weekend, like many others one was quite excited by the prospect of a long weekend! And like many home owners, one made a special trip to the big Bunnings in Innaloo, some call it a cultural experiment, some call it taking one's life into one's own hands, but I call it escaping the grand final!

So we hit up Bunnings, got a towel rail and a hand towel holder.

And so now the Bathroom looks a little like this:

Bolli & Burgers

This is up there with my idea of a perfect night - Bollinger and a Burger from Flipside.

Why on earth would you mix a burger and a bubble I hear you ask, well this is why:

Unfortunately, the rock didn't come to visit because it was off singing with our girls Edz and B.

But they were busy singing the (now) ironic 'if you liked it then you shuda put a ring on it' so we'll have to get more Bolli now!

They say lightning never strikes twice, but lucky for me, lighting does strike twice and here they are and what a difference they make from what was here before.

I'm super dooper happy with them and think they look absolutely awesome.

Adding to the excitement is the fact that both of these babies has a dimmer attached so I can adjust the lighting to fit the mood. I'd forgotten how good dimmer switches are having lived without them for quite a while. Now I have them in both the living and dining room.

Next task: get the dining table into the dining room. Bring on the long weekend!

Ladies of Perth - Step up to the plate

So the men of Perth have copped a bit of a battering this week, but ladies, you also need to address something..

All to often I am being attacked by the open toe stocking squadron. This is unacceptable. If you can see your toes in the shoes, they aren't winter shoes and whacking on a pair of stockings isn't going to change that.

All it does is make you look from a distance like you have some kind of toe eating fungus.

Picture (Window) Perfect

So since this weekend got off to a cracking start one has been quite productive and here's some proof:

Before:




During:




After:

Beautiful glossy, white window frames! They've hit one's bedroom and coming soon to a kitchen, bathroom and living room in a flat of one's own.

One Rocks Saturday Mornings!

One is most proud of oneself this Saturday morning. While the SO went off to Kings Park to do some crazy exercise, one had a tight Achilles and decided to stay at aflatofonesown rather than go running.

Since then one has accomplished:

1. Washing the sheets;
2. Having a shower;
   
3. Drinking a cup of Green Tea;
4. Making the bed; and
5. Publishing 3 posts!

Very good for 8.14am on a Saturday.

Off to breakfast and paint shopping now!
