The downstairs living room
They say your home should reflect your personality and your wardrobe. Well, my home is bright, colourful and full of pattern, I love bold colour. We only moved into this house 5 months ago and I've been putting my stamp on it slowly but surely; there are still many rooms to tackle but our home is starting to take shape. With baby only 6 and a bit weeks away I'm keen to get as much done as possible, I've even got the sewing machine out!
With a tight budget and practically a whole house to furnish, I've looked to ebay and op shops to pick up some bargains.
The wicker furniture is from the op shop (sofa and table for $70 and pretzel chair $50) but the fabric was dated and in dire need of some love. Ikea has a great range of fabrics, but you have to be quick, they turn around quickly. I covered the chair for $15 and the sofa for about $20.
Just starting on the nursery, to be continued...
