Whiter than white Kitchens
On my hunt for kitchen ideas I came across these lovely very white kitchens. They are too white for me as I am too afraid of being able to keep them that clean!
Have a sweet day!
Time ...
Ok it is the week for questions to you all in blogland! Things in Australia have turned a little crazy in TV land this week - I am not big on TV during the evening usually as it my time to hop on the computer uninterrupted and scour the world of blogs. This week however things have turned nasty with the return of Masterchef Australia to our screens - every night this week it is sucking me in - and to add to all that tonight is the finale of So You Think You Can Dance Australia!
So now I sit here with laptop on lap watching SYTYCD trying to work out how to blog and keep up with everyone. I have had the most wonderful and lovely comments on my blog in the past few weeks so I am visiting loads of new blogs that I hadn't visited before - this has become a full time job!
So my question - how does everyone else keep up with all this wonderfulness which is the blogworld - do you click through a few each day or do you also sit on your computer for hours? Do you find new blogs to follow each week and if you become a follower how do you keep up with everyone? Do you leave loads of comments every day or just the odd one every now and then? And then there is time spent on your own blog! Oh the questions could go on forever but I would love to hear any thoughts on time management in the blogworld.
Gender Neutral Nursery pt1 - Colour Scheme
Last week, in the height of my fanatical nestiness, I painted my new baby's nursery a calming Dulux Whisper White. Such a lovely colour which goes with just about every piece of furniture and accessory you can dream up. So now, with my blank slate I can start designing a gender neutral nursery for my little one, due late August!
I have to admit that with Fern, I found out I was having a girl early on, giving me plenty of time to dream up a girlie boudoir (view more pics of Ferns nursery here). I loved knowing what I was having and bonded with her immediately... I couldn't understand people who asked me what I could possibly have to look forward to during labour (um, how about HAVING MY BABY) and I never regretted finding out for one second!
But this time, I want to know what it's like to be surprised. It's been easy so far... except for the nursery planning! Most everybody around me seems to think I'm having a boy (I want your say too, vote here and be in the running to win a softie once the baby is born if your answer is correct!) and I can't help but be slightly slanted toward boyish stuff... but I must be careful, it could well turn out to be a little sister for Ferny after all!
I thought about going a lovely, calming white and beige combo. But I am too colourful a person for that... after reviewing nursery images I've saved on my desktop over the last few months, mostly sourced from Spearmint Baby and Flikr, I'm beginning to see a pattern emerging in my choice of colours:
Turquoise -- red -- yellow -- green... I think I've accidentally chosen my nursery colour palette! I am especially loving the turquoise/ yellow combo, but do you think that is too girlie? I also love the embroidery wall hanging idea which can be adapted to either sex, coloured rice paper lanterns as a mobile, and stripes! Early days in my nursery planning, but that's where my headspace is right now... thoughts??
