Shopping Trip = total chaos

I went shopping on Saturday morning, OK I lie, I went to Soccer on Saturday morning and somehow ended up at the shops..OK, I knew I had to go near the plaza as I had to get to the bank before closing BUT that didn't mean I had to pop into work and spend $$ did it LOL but, me being easily sidetracked, did just that. I came home with

THIS lovely black lamp that I didn't really need...

and THIS lovely artificial palm that I certainly didn't need

And also this beautiful long vase, that once again, I didn't need

Nothing wrong at all with all of that I guess BUT when I got home, total chaos as there was absolutely no-where to put these fine purchases. THANK GOD, Megan (Luke's girlfriend) was here, she is an interior decorator wannabe so we both got busy re-arranging furniture AND the result was Fabulous. I always thought our lounge and dining room far to small for all our furniture, but with a bit of thoughtful planning it not only fitted beautifully, BUT we somehow came out with a lot more room! I'm so happy with the placement, I just want to sit and stare! I love where the computer is now, I have a nice outlook, the dogs stare at me, I stare at them, I have seen 1 snake wriggle along the retainer wall, so now I know what they bark at!

I just realized that i've never posted pics of the new house so here goes!!

Dining room Computer near sliding door! NOTE: I have a pink ott-lite LOL i love it!!!

Lounge from the front door looking in! (the boys bedrooms and bathroom/toilet are to the left of lounge around the back of that little wall. our bedroom is on the right it comes off the lounge near the welsh dresser)

Lounge from the other end looking towards front door (the 2 wooden strips on the wall near TV will be coming down when I buy the paint! we will paint the wall behind the TV chocolate, the other wall coffee and the rest of the room 2 shades lighter than coffee, resulting in me always being hungry I'm sure)

dining looking into kitchen.

I'm painting the revolting light shades black with white rub-on's, i've nearly finished, will put the pic in when it's done!

 

and this is my most favourite piece of furniture, my little wooden table that I have  pics of my dad on (near the front door) I just love the carving on it!
