Got some nice stuff at IKEA and finally adding some colour and pop to the house. Feeling a little more cozy XD Also got a tool set, outdoor setting for the backyard and another little bench for the cat run, some other bits and pieces, like a doorbell and hose reel. Got lots of decor pieces too, a new laundry hamper.. and just so much shopping today! So tired!! But I hope the house is looking a bit more interesting, but so much more to go So hall table!! Got the little baskets (they are a bit small).. And the vases on top, the blue ones are from IKEA and the pink on from Big W, all were reasonably cheap too D Need a mirror and maybe a lamp or something.. pot plant?? Also planning a round rough for this area to match the pendant above Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Living area!!

I want that rug Can I ask where you got the entertainment unit? Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2292Sep 03, 2017 8:19 pm aloenyx The entertainment unit is from Focus on Furniture, its from the Nevada range, but I got it from an ex-display place for half price Awesome, thanks. I'm planning to get our couch and dining set from there. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2293Sep 03, 2017 8:25 pm They have lovely stuff!! I want my dining from there, and probably my coffee table. The side table from Kmart didn't work at all. Though looks alright near the door. My cats love the rug, they are playing chasey all over.

I love the retro look of the chairs. We've got a Freedom gift card so our coffee table will probably come from there.

Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2299Sep 05, 2017 7:59 pm It was a big weekend with lots of shopping, I have a little bit of buyer's remorse. I feel like I've been rushing a bit too much to get the house 'done', and so I'm buying things I don't really like.. or making choices I'm not in love with. I think I did mostly okay, only the pink cushions and the teal bedding are really purchases I'm not happy with.. everything else is growing on me. I just have so much I want to achieve with this house, but I kind of need to work through area by area to finish off bits and pieces.And no more buying things just because they are cheap, need to focus on buying things I actually like now. I need a desk. Starting WFH, but have to take a photo of my workspace.. dont think the couch will be acceptable Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Custom Build - Ever After :) 2300Sep 05, 2017 8:19 pm aloenyx It was a big weekend with lots of shopping, I have a little bit of buyer's remorse.
