School holidays are drawing to an end here, mores the pity. At 10, J is very independent and I can enjoy a lazy sleep-in when there's no school. No chasing him to bed at night is also heaven. We're getting back to routine over the weekend though in prep for Monday!
David has been busy upstairs again....no prizes for guessing what he's still doing!
Bought these black and white vases after 'um'ing and 'ah'ing for an eternity at Freedom and ordered a designer-copy-cat spine book tower thingy. It takes 12 weeks to get one! I just expected them to pop it in my car. LOL! Live and learn! I serendipitously received a $50 gift voucher too which was unexpected. Not sure what I'll buy with it yet....
Remember my recent post about Juju hats? Mine arrived today.... I love it's texture but I sadly packed it away until upstairs is ready to be decorated. *sigh*
And this absolutely gorgeous, sparkly Anya Hindmarch clutch may or may not be delivered soon. Perhaps in time for Mother's Day? NET-A-PORTER....I lurve you!

Thank you for stopping by my blog. You are very welcome and encouraged to comment. I love receiving feedback! I also love watching a new pretty picture box added to my followers - would love you to join me so I can get to know you too!
I've been tempted by those Freedom vases too, almost bought one the other week, but then changed my mind. Having seen yours, I think I'm going back there tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's funny. I saw an image with the chevron vase filled with red roses against a black & white photo and scrambled to get one asap
DeleteDavid looks like real life Santa!
ReplyDeleteOh, the link to your AH clutch didn't work. I am itching to see which one you got :)))
Enjoy the rest of your weekend <3

Ha Ha! He'll think that's funny B! I bought the Valorie in Petrol like in the picture. Something a bit different from black but will go with most colours anyhoo. It's beuootiful! x KL
DeletePerfect choice. Love it!!!!!
DeleteOh, did you know that word verification on your blog is back?
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware :)
B
Yes B. unfortunately I needed to switch it on as I was being inundated with spam. It has worked so I might be able to switch it back off soon. X kl
ReplyDeleteLots of fabulous purchases there, love you JuJu hat. Online shopping has been the best invention ever!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree Trish! Maybe too easy? LOL! I think it is great for price comparison as long as you know what you are after. Not so good for comparing quality of items otherwise. My Juju is great; very happy with colour, feathers, size and price but the string holding it all together is deteriorated and breaking as I opened it. Grrr. I'll have to re-thread the whole thing before I can hang it! Still, the $ saving made it worthwhile but not enough to recommend the seller to others.

KL, I am such a hopeless drama queen and need your help again *shy*
ReplyDeleteI am really worried about floor stops being in the way of feet, vacuum cleaner and mop and am now considering getting the wall stops instead, and having them installed up high. I understand this would be ugly :( ... but which one of these do you think is the LEAST ugly, and on a scale 1 to 10 how ugly is it still?

No prob. Doorstop positions can vary depending on style chosen. The ones you have provided links to are usually attached to the skirting board behind the door or on the door itself in bathrooms or where a door may open onto another door eg: wardrobe in a bedroom. The second link 6207 Tube is simple and nice (I have to say that as they look like ours, he he!)If you are concerned re easy of floor cleaning under them, attatch to rear of door instead of on fixed skirting. Keep low so they bump into arch not wall....
DeleteThe only other comment I'll add is if the rooms will require a door weight to stop the door slamming due to cross ventilation, then one with a magnetic catch is handy (No. 6209) but avoid if unnecessary as they are harder to pull closed. Hope this helps! x KL
Thank you soooo much!!!!
DeleteWe've got floor to ceiling tiling in our very tight powder room. Do you think the tube non magnetic one would look ok up on the door? It would be reflected in the mirror when the door is closed... The door is 2.5m high. What would you do? *shy*
This is how tight it is http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TFVfaSa_y0g/TuszeAxJNwI/AAAAAAAABMg/16PfbwgEi98/s320/powder+room+downstairs.jpg
What would I do? Ha, ha! Ask David!!!! He suggests buying a robe hook for the door (one with a flat front) and stick a small clear dot bumper on it. It's a robe hook, door stop in one! x KL
Deleteoops...and choose a robe hook deeper than the depth of your handle. Duh! x KL
DeleteThat sounds like a great idea. The only thing is our doors are 2.4m, huge and heavy :(
ReplyDeleteIt weighs 60kg plus from memory :(
I am worried that a clear dot might not be enough of protection :(
Also, I'd love to match all the accessories and the hook doesn't have a flat end :(

Fair call....I'd still recommend then on the back of door at bottom but who says the top is wrong....no-one would probably notice and it will work either way! x KL
DeleteThank you!!! I will get the tube for the powder room and when it arrives I will see if its too obvious at the top. I'm paranoid that someone will be washing their hands without locking the door first and someone else will open the door and break the toilet person's ankle. Lol.
ReplyDelete*shy*
Thank you again!!!!
