Summer Lovin'.....
Finally the rains have eased and we've been allowed a peak at what summer might bring.... SUNSHINE! The kiddies pool is out and so are my legs! Here's a peak at our daybed in action, perfectly positioned to view the pool in action (book in hand) and to cool hot feet! xxxx
Rustic Charm...
With the back garden almost complete...
plants purchased, potted and pots painted, the patches that haven't quite
taken on the lawn filled with chamomile and seat covers (crudely) sewn and in
place on the day bed, just yellow stripey cushions to make and place on the
bench - once I've located the material, it appears I'm rather fussy over these
small details - so once the sun comes out to play again I'll post some
pictures.
....now my attentions are turning towards the inside again, in our old apartment we used reclaimed wood in our bathroom it was both cheap and provided depth and warmth to the room, now I'm dreaming up ways of using recycled timber when we eventually find the funds to add an extra storey to the house....

BackYard.... Story so Far...
We've said goodbye to a spa, a palm tree, a garden bed and our blue wall. Now we have a small spot of grass, a more uniform, lighter and useable back yard. The spa had to go to make more space and also for safety Finn was getting more and more fixated by the water and I didn't feel comfortabe leaving him out there alone with temptation so for space, sanity and safety good bye to the last bastion our former child free lives!!
There are still a few more plants to plant, cushions to make for the day bed and we ran out of pebbles for the garden bed but its far better than it was! Now I can look forward to lazy, sunny sundays and general mulling around with Finn and Clement the Westie.

Welcome Spring!
Think Pink!, originally uploaded by mollieandfinn.
Not that today show's much sign of it - but yesterday was the first offical day of spring... Time for some fresh spring tones - like the beautiful pink used in this image....
& ..... time for our little herb garden to Bloom!!!
Woodland Wonderland...
Image from Design Sponge
Swoon - I love this woodland cottage / shack.
Also features my favourite flowers at the moment 'cone heads' .... I planted some in the front garden but they weather has been too wet and the lack of direct sun in the position they are in means they've all but died. Now the supplier has 'sold out' of coneheads so this rules out attempting to grow them in another part of the garden
Springs coming - time for some Garden Inspiration!
In Sydney we're in the last month of our 'winter' - which is more like early Autumn in the UK. The backyard is still in the midst of its make over, the spa has gone and the empty space has provided us with enough room for a little bit of lawn.
