Decorating with Antlers ????

Some time ago I remember visiting a well known overseas blog that I adore, and being a little unnerved  by the fact that she had used a set of antlers in her little vignette.

Well now the tide has turned, and last weekend I found myself debating whether or not to purchase an antler  from a local vintage store.

I think it was something about the rustic shape and  texture.

This was my inspiration....

Although I didn't buy the real thing.....( regrets)
I did purchase this

from Masters

Just loving it...now he needs a home and perhaps a name!!!!

Display home styling

Last weekend I ventured out to visit some display homes. I must say it has been a long time since I have been into a display home.

And while I was not very impressed with the facades of the houses, I was very taken with their interiors.

I really loved the artwork...

Not my normal style but this ensuite bathroom was to die for.... this is only half of it....

This wallpaper was gorgeous..

and the artwork took my breath away....

along with the industrial lighting

but I don't think I will be moving any time soon....

Wallpaper Entry reveal before and after

Well it certainly has been a long time since my last post so I thought it was about time I revealed my wallpapered entry.

As mentioned in my last post, I was lucky enough last year to be the winner of  a voucher to spend at
Eurowalls.

Now anyone who has watched The Block in Australia, will be familiar with the gorgeous Katrina .....well Katrina was generous enough to offer that fantastic prize. You may have seen some of Eurowalls' wonderful wallpapers on the most recent season of The Block All Stars used by Mark and Duncan.
WOW!

Anyhoo I thought it was about time you saw my little entry before and after.........

         Before....

First we stripped the border and the bottom wallpaper off which was an anaglypta paper that had been previously painted over numerous times. Oh and that lovely blue/green paint was the original colour that the house was painted in.



Next I started this....

I must say it was incredibly easy to hang.

      After....

 Very hard to photograph but  I love it!

I love the way it picks up the pattern in the corbel.......

 

So there you are....thank you once again to the lovely Katrina and the very helpful Megan at Eurowalls

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE  it!

Wallpaper Love from Eurowalls

I am absolutely in love with all types of wallpaper at the moment. For some time I have been planning to paper the small wall in our entry area.



Although I would love an area like this..I'm afraid mine is not this big!

 My area is t-i-n-y, more of a step in the door and be greeted kind of area.

I love the idea of touch of black..... and something a little traditional....

 with a mirror for those last minute touch ups...

Because our entry is so small, with the formal lounge and another doorway opening off it, I thought I would like to do something like the picture below..

However choosing a wallpaper is not as easy as it seems.... but I was overjoyed at winning the lovely giveaway offered by Katrina from the Block for some wallpaper from Eurowalls.

They have so many gorgeous choices that it was almost impossible to make a decision...

In the end I chose...Tianon from there Classic Range and it arrived a few days ago...

so here is a sneak peek.....

I absolutely LOVE IT... so a huge thanks to Katrina and to Megan from Eurowalls... can't wait to get it hung although a little painting will need to be completed first!

Enjoy your weekend.

P.S. We named our new little addition Bentley and we love him to bits. He is a Moodle. I appreciate all your comments after my last post but for some reason I'm having trouble with my comment reply button....is anyone else?
