Fresh Harvest
What's between our walls and the fence? Well, we are planning for some garden beds, a love bench and a playground. Yeah another major project. Since we still don't have the budget for it, MyPapa scattered some pumpkins seeds on it. He said so that at least something will come out of it sooner than what we are planning. He really do have faith in me and hubs. LOL

My SilverPine and BlueBonnet Kitchen
This is my fave part of the house.
The color consultant after recovering from shock asked me 3x during the color selection - "are you sure?" and before they installed it, the cabinet supplier called us 2x to confirm!!! Irritated, on their last call I already asked them "IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY KITCHEN?????" Finally they installed it. LOL
And when the builder saw it during inspection, he said -- "whoah! you're kitchen.... it's colorful, it's unique... been in the business for 30years, this is the first time I saw this." But what I saw in his face is this 'What in the hell were you thinking girl?' hahaha....

DH Home Project # 2 - Our old but new portal.
DH Project #2.
(His project #1 will go with project #3 so I'll just blog about in future posts.)
Hubby was given some old timber from an old establishment that was to be renovated. Exactly the type of wood that we were looking for as we both like the old charm that comes with old used timber. When it arrived, we were so confused as to what to do with it. We thought of making it into a table, a bench, a book shelf, a pathway and as decking for his "ultimo al fresco". Yeah, we had so many plans for those 4 planks of old wood. =P
Then he came up with a brilliant idea...a PORTAL! For less than $70, we now have a unique and sturdy portal. And I love, like, love it!

House to Home. =)
And I'm back to blogging about Emma. Finally.
Been so busy with this and that (holidays and all) that I have totally neglected this blog. Hopefully, I'm back for good.
So, what's up or down in our not-so-new-place...
Well, the kids have settled. And what I meant with that is that trucks has ran over the freshly painted bluish walls, toys are all over the floor and food has already stuck on the carpet. The house is now their "home". But that is what's great about owning your own home, you don't faint when they spill the oh-so-red cranberry juice on the carpet, your heart don't stop when the truck wheels scrape the beautiful paint and you don't shuush them when they want to jump and run and run and jump all over the place. In short, kids can be kids! =)
As for DH (Dear Husband), he is more and more becoming a fan of Bunnings. Bring him there and you can see his eye twinkle and shine like a kid on a candy store. He's been doing bits and pieces of improvements around the house which I will be documenting on my next posts.
And Me?? Well, as I've said above I've been busy. As to what? Well, that's the thing I don't even know for what. =( Anyway, that's not important now. What's important is I'm back and I am here to stay. =)
