A new look

When my sister Christine was first went into hospital,  the family had to sort and clean out her flat.......during this time I came to realise that we (I) have so much stuff.....and what happens to our stuff later on.........so.........over the last 18 months I have been slowly going through each room to down size........I started in the spare bedroom and thought I did really well.......but as I have worked through the other room I need to go back and start allover again.........I don't have many photos of the bedroom rooms but I have found a couple of photos of the lounge room before and after........it is amazing how our taste change.......

Before

After

I splurged out and bought a new rug and curtains....it has made the room a lot lighter and fresher...it took a lot to give away so much but in the end it is better....there was so much stuff that was unnecessary.......

and we are really happy with the simpler look.......and I feel much better.........

We have also simplified the rumpus room last year......I will have to find some before and after photos for a future post........it looks better than the lounge room......

Backyard news....we have a new fence..........Peter Smith Landscaping gave us a hand with building the fence....as we just don't have the time to do it ourselves..........

it looks great and makes such a difference to our yard........

I have to do some work in the garden to fix up the gaps under the fence........when we closed the gates yesterday Tilly crawled underneath straight away......another couple of weeks and she will be too big to sneak under the fence........

I'm off to the Caloundra Textile group.......will be good to catch up with the ladies......and have a creative afternoon.............until next time....

Happy stitching - - - - - - - - - -
