Another reno post

So as you can see we painted our balcony floor. Yes it was green......... Our apartment was untouched from 1969.

We sanded it back and had to wash away all the green paint, it was funny watching green water go down the sides of our building.

We painted it with a non slip paint from Resene Non-Skid Deck & Path. I can find the colour we used on the website, but its quite dark when its dries. I love it

Xmas Tree

My tree at home



My tree at work

Name the puppy

Who knew this would be such a hard thing to do.

Bf wants to call her Batman because of the big ears. I've grown to like it now, but would love a different name.

Potential names are;

Batman - because of the ears
Pepe' - like Pepe la Pou

Sookie - Character in Tru Blood

But so many to consider.

We getty the little one in about 1 weeks time. She is a beautiful French Bulldog from Sarchelles Breeders in Victoria.

I already love her to bits

Lorneting

Going to Lorne on on Sunday Arvo for a couple of days.
Staying at The Cumberland. I love it there.

Beach Front Apartment. They have a tennis court, so we should take the rackets with us and maybe kieran can teach me to play the game properly.... maybe
I just like to hit the ball as hard as i can, i even think i do this subconsciously.

I want to walk to the waterfalls and not sure what else, I'm even contemplating morning swimming!!!!!!! it will be super cold.

Diva

I love their big rings.

Always Always Always hated diva for no reason.

Cotton Socks has awesome stuff from there and well i went in and its not that

bad and I've since purchased lots of things.

Bracelets and Rings.

Not to keen on their necklaces so far, maybe one day.

Fructose Intolerant

Bye Bye Beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imperial i will miss you
Kirin i will miss you

sniff sniff

I've been informally diagnosed with Fructose malabsorption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
similar to Lactose intolerance which i have. I have noticed the foods associated with this are making me sick.......

So i'm going to try really hard to stick to their recomended food to see if i feel.

I need to get a book writen by Sue Sheppard, she apparently is an expert and has recipe and shoppin guides.

Lights

IKEA brushed aluminium factory look lights.

around 25 dollars

2 in the kitchen

1 Hallway

1 Bathroom

1 Lounge/ dinning room (this is larger than the one in the photo)

The light height is adjustable, your electrician would need to do that.

RIP Messmer

Not a great week for my family.

Messmer was a beautiful dog just like Clifford the big red dog.

I will miss her terribly.... This was a very hard post to write

Sandals for sun times

Revolveclothing.com.au

Is a little obsession of mine, i can troll through that site all day.

These shoes are LAMB and love them.

Beaded Jacket

Sportsgirl Beaded jacket

The photo is very dark because of work lightening and the iphone camera being crap.
Its so out of the box for me its no funny.

Cottonsocks will super approve!!

I cant wait to wear it.

To xmas tree or not to xmas tree

I love real xmas trees, but the BF doesn't. He believes that his food and drinks will taste like pine and there will be all these pines needles everywhere. I'm sure you realise he is a idiot.

I want a real one but the alternative is to hang things on our stick vase. There is a locket hanging on the sticks int he photo (cottonsocks HoH locket), so you get the picture.

I say real one!

Or we do Festivus for the rest of us

Outdoor Stools

So my balcony is still in progress with getting it to the way i want it.

Table and chairs are not practical and would take up too much space (imo).

Firstly our place is a different shape apartment to most. Its in a Triangle... no seriously so our balcony runs the whole way around but its very skinny on the sides and larger in the middle.

The balcony is fenced (for lack of a better word) off by double brick rendered perimeter.

To this i want to get a plank of wood, probably a recyled piece of timber or maybe even a cut up railway sleeper, it will need to be about 3 metres in length.

Stools

I always thought i wanted tall stools and i searched everywhere for ones that i liked, with no luck. I'm so happy i never found them because on the balcony one say i tested what the height you would be sitting at and well for me it was fine but who someone else its a little high and you feel like there is no barrier to stop you from falling. small stools it is

These are really cute i saw them in a shop called Exhibit on Russel and there is one in Albert Park. They have a matching table. They are not really for the outside but the black one would not really show any rust marks. I think they are about $90 each

Painted Wire

Tv / Lounge / Living Area

Our apratment is almost finished.... we are living there wil only a couple of things left
This however is a completed area

Above is our Panasonic Tv ("42)
White stand from Dare Gallery
iPod HiFi
PS2 or 3 i have no idea really its not our in that spot is usually the Wii
Wii games
Apple Tv

Couch - custom made at Arthur G

Lamp Arco replica from MattBlatt

Cushions Ikea - we have however thrown them out now because the love cat fur

Appliances

Our Toaster and Keetle

Brand Breville ikon

I highly recommend the Keetle..... it boils water great.......

But the toaster i would probable say get a different one.

The burners are uneven, you need to turn the toast midway for even burn

They do look good together though

Comfy platforms Height extenders

SO my newish shoes
I stepped out of the box when i purchased these, they don't really look comfy but they
are seriously the most comfortable pair of heels i own. (i have to say i do own quite a few heels)

I got them from Estile.com.au or Cocolee.com.au
either one really not sure but probably Cocolee. i really enjoy their sites because of the constant change of clothing/designers.

OOOO the shoe brand Estilo... comfy comphy

Puppy

So I'm getting a puppy.... French bulldog in fact
Her name is up in the air but BF is adamant about BATMAN... I'm not so keen but it does make him really happy naming things.

This photo is so so so cute that i had to post it. I want to be able to teach my puppy how to lick the window for max effect
