Love it here

it may not seem like it, but we haven't forgotten this blog completely ;)

been busy living, tidying, finishing and constantly improving bits and pieces around here. We're still nailing down skirting boards, fitting out the pantry, installing solar power & water...and finding out what its like to live here when there is a cyclone & the river is flooding. More photos when we've cleaned up a bit

I'll have more photos soon...that is, AFTER we've completely unpacked and cleared away the chaos of moving.

Four truck loads later

welcome to our nightmare! 

The last time this house will be empty

moving day is upon us

And another blue room: The powder room.

I've been commissioned to paint the decorative 'wallpaper' with an original Ginger Kelly design.
Something with a misty atmosphere... a eucalypt forest with vines, little birds and flowers...

as you can see, it certainly needs something...

I don't know...it'll be a big job and that's gonna cost ya 
I'll tell you what, build me a studio and we'll call it even, ok?
