Have a great day!

Well, I suppose I better get back to study and supervising the plumbers who are fixing a lovely leaking pipe (which we were unaware of until our rates came at a ridiculous price). Then sending off my applications for teaching registration. Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Bathroom





We are currently retiling our toilet and replacing what used to be a bright blue Royal Doulton toilet and had bright blue mosiac tiles on the floor(original 1980s style) with a glossy white toilet and high white gloss 300 x 600 tiles on the walls and extra large porcelin floor tiles. Dont have photos atm because of my camera broke but it is looking good!.
However I am currently looking at bathroom ideas- We will have a white bathroom to keep it modern and neutral however I have once again convinced my partner that we need to go a bit indulgent as this is the main bathroom. So of course the ones that I finally like are Bisazza Mosaico tiles- the type is called Giovanna, which is a white pearl so it looks white and then when the sun hits it it reflects pearl. However.....we need to do about 4 square metres of it....so far the types i like are $400 a square metre and reaching $1500 a square metre for some. Better keep looking for ones that dont make him fall off his seat!.

Wallpaper Ideas







After about 6 months of trying to convince my partner that wallpaper is the way to go and him laughing at me- I have finally convinced him to put it in our house. We have a bare wall at the end of our wide hallway (where the bedrooms split off from) and I feel this would be the perfect place to put high impact wallpaper. I love the peacock feathers from florence broadhurst which is silver and the eyes of the feathers have an aqua squiggle (technical term) lol. As I would like to keep it to netural or blue hues. However something a bit more wow from Kelly W. would be great. Any ideas or places to purchase wallpaper will be greatly appreciated - looking for Brisbane/Gold Coast shops. Cheers!
