Painting Complete - Big Reveal out the back!

Very excited that all my painting is complete and I can share with you the finished look for all my hard work!
A nice sunny spot on a winters day!  If it gets chilly a nice soft warm rug from BBNT.

Pretty Begonias brighten the outdoor space
New cushions on my outdoor lounge hand made by me - the perfect spot to enjoy a book or a magazine!  My hubby says oh no not more cushions! You can also see a little bit of the landscaping part 2 which needs some spring weather to give the plants a boost!

Hanging lanterns by day add interest and by night set the mood!

                
 
 

We love our new bar table many a good night has been had, and it's a great breakfast spot too.

Enjoy this beautiful Sunday no matter what you're up to!

The paint colours again are Dulux Natural Stone on the weatherboards, Ironstone for the window sills and trims and Antique White USA for the windows.  NO more mustard walls.

Happy for people to pin or use these photos please credit or include a link to the LCD blog!  Many thanks!

Make your own Oilcloth Tablecloth lookalike!

I've been looking and looking and couldn't find the right oil cloth to make a tablecloth for the fourseater table on my front verandah. (It needed protection from all the very friendly geckoes that love to poop on the table each night!)

So I decided it required me to think outside the box!

So I purchased some fabric I loved from Lincraft. (curtain fabric which has a lined backing)



PVC also from Lincraft

I cut them both to size laying the fabric first and then the PVC and voile - a new look for my table.  (with some protection from the elements and the wildlife ie geckoe!)



My painting at the front is also nearly finished as you can see in the background, !very excited! sneak peaks soon!
