New roll of wallpaper from eBay has hit my desk and i'm loving it, but it kinda reminds me of a kitchen lino pattern. What do you think?
Brown, grey and orange... one of the reasons i love old wallpaper is the colour combinations it uses that i probably wouldn't have put together myself. Have started cutting it up already. First project is a little adventure wall art set.
We have a little desk which is the perfect kid-size, but was looking a bit blah and battered. And just quietly, I was never particularly fond of the red and yellow drawers.
As it's no longer needed in my son's room, I revamped it with some colourful wallpaper and Modge Podge. Much better.
Don't the Moonlets look so studious and well behaved when they actually sit still for a minute? It is, however, quite impressive how much junk they can dump on their desks in any given day. And then complain that they have nowhere to do their work! I have no idea where they get that from.
Still in school holidays... which means I've spent a fair proportion of the last month in the kitchen. A mass of christmas preparations gave way to the weeks of cooking with the kids, for the kids, getting snacks and drinks for the kids, and of course cleaning up after the kids. The kitchen is not my favourite place to be most of the time. I can assure you that i'm absolutely not one of those mothers that breezes into the kitchen, flutters around for a few minutes and leaves a picture-perfect nutritionally balanced masterpiece in my wake. Far from it. But i try, with varying degrees of enthusiasm depending on how the day is unravelling.
Anyway. This little bit of random love was appreciated. Dished up by nature quite perfectly.
