pages 2 & 3

left: keep calm and carry on fabric wall hanging from ebay. cost me 2c and $9 postage. bargain! kitchenain mixers in apple green and pistachio; i die. i must have one, but around $700 a pop i'll be saving for a while. they come in an array of colours and are simply too beautiful to be kept in your cupboards like any other mixer. i will certainly be displaying this on my coffee table when it is finally mine.

right: chandeliers. always timeless. this ikea frame is only $69 and despite the protests of my lovely boyfriend i am buying it. i either want to turn it into a mirror, or frame some great vintage fabric swatches or wallpaper. i also love the idea of getting random items, spraypainting them a vivid green and using them decoratively around the house. we want a bright green rollerskate as a doorstop. to make it heavy enough we are thinking of filling it with concrete or stones. if anyone has any better suggestions, please let me know!



two quickly jotted lists of plants i want and things i want

that book.

my darling gorgeous boyfriend bought me a moss covered book to jot my thoughts into. it has become my unofficial homewares spank bank. scanning in pages now

dying over marimekko bedcovers. the green is divine and the cartoon trees are adorable. i also love the idea of buying cheap vintage chairs from thriftstores, sanding them back and painting them in shades of vivid green. this particular colour is called "yellow zing" from porters paints. looks like a limey green to me! i have an obsession with bird imagery, but hate live birds (hows that for weird). i wanted a vintage ornate birdcage painted green stuffed with big chunky white candles somewhere in my living room. to date, all the birdcages i've found are very expensive, so for now i'm sticking to these amazing vinyl wall stickers. you can find them on online stores and some homewares stores for around $50-$120, but i found a store on ebay that sells them for around $15. i think it would be wise to mention that i am an unemployed (for now) 19 year old student so everything in my dream house will be on a TIGHT budget.

i feel i've written enough for one post, so perhaps i'll leave this as a teaser and upload the other pictures in subsequent posts. xo
