The New and the Old

With building a new house comes the job of filling it up with furniture. As our new house is considerably larger than our previous house this has meant that we've needed to buy some new things (as well as buying some things just for ourselves as treats :)).

The first of our purchase was a new lounge suite which we got at the boxing day sales from Harvey Norman's as well as a lovely new Dinning table which is a 12 seater (which I don't have a photo of as its not advertised online).

We have also got this lovely seat for our master bedroom:

Over the weekend we were visiting my parents and went to the local Mitre 10 that happened to be having a 50% off sale on their display stock. We found a lovely outdoor BBQ kitchen that we liked as well as a Pizza oven (which my parents got for us as an Engagement present).

I also purchased a dressing table for the master bedroom which I am restoring and going to paint white. I started work on this over the weekend and was able to strip the stool and side table. The next job will be to strip the dresser and then to paint. As they say all the work is in the preparation :)

Let there be light!

Beacon Lighting has a 25% off sale for lights so what better time to buy some of the feature lights for our house :)

For our kitchen we needed some pendent lights to go over our bench. We have gone with an industrial look:

Outside of the entry to our master bedroom we got a wall light installed on each wall (as this is at the display house for our design and we really liked the look.) So this is what we have chosen - it is the same design of what is on display at the display home:

We also got some lights for the front of our house:

Now to wait till Beacon has a sale on fans!
