LIME LIGHT

I have been totally inspired by this months

Australian belle magazine...

...hoilday issue

...and I am totally in LOVE with this outdoor entertaining area. You will just fall in love with the dining room....Oh to live in Sydney (again...with harbour views this time..) to be able to spent endless amounts of money on things you love...houses, clothes ,shoes, family & friends ` not in this order off course!!!..but I think you understand...so this weekend I will continue to design my dream home, this time in this gorgeous colour, with this gorgeous hanging light..

2 old Chandeleirs

how much would 2 Chandeliers be worth ~ they are approx 20 years old ?

Chandelier 1

Chandelier 2

These poor neglected Chandeliers have been decorating my children's play room for the past 5 years...they were in perfect condition back then but are now missing a few bits....I can image with a dust they would be very beautiful and shiny. We inherited them when we brought the house & I know the previous owners would have spent a bit on them...so what would they be worth now??? I am going to post them on e-buy but I really have know idea of how much they are worth ..any ideas ??

room 2# the kitchen

...So I walk from my perfect dinning room ( see previous post...) into my perfect kitchen, the only problem is I seem to have a few perfect kitchens...

... ideas for the ceiling & colour

...ideas for the door-way into the butlers pantry

...colours

...more colour

...door style & colour

...ceiling ideas & more colour ideas....

Having just finished 2 gorgeous White kitchens, I was thinking it might be time for a change...maybe more colour is needed for my next kitchen, perhaps in the island beach. I would also like to have more detail in the ceilings which are 2.7 height so I have lots of room to create something special..I hope

...have a wonderful weekend...family night tonight - homemade pizza, mango & ice cream & the boys are off to the video store to choose a movie, I sure hope they come home with a chic flick...

I don't like my chances !!!!

My perfect Dinning Room

new ideas for next house...

this is my idea of the perfect Dinning Room..big sigh!!!

I only wish I could get to restoration hardware and bring it all home.

I wonder if I can talk my Mr LSH(long suffering husband) into a holiday to the States...lets see how good I am...watch this space...( well its worth a try!!)
