To all the blogs i have loved before !!!!

So I am the first to admit I am a little slow at getting the into the Blog world !! I started off strong however the busier I got the more I neglected to fill my duty in the blogging department.
thank goodness for melinda who filled in the gaps. She so eloquently stew her wise words across the pages and I waited always with baited breathe to read the lily g blog. I am sure she was a writer in another life or should be in this one !!!

first a disclaimer !! I am not a fabulous speller nor am as elegant with my words however I will endeavour to entice you into our world of the humble renovation, decoration, styling, building recovering and the odd holding of clients hands through a journey of a house becoming a home.

second disclaimer !!! I am not very computer savvy, I am an interior designer after all. However I will learn and master the mac pro and show you some lovely images that may make you swoon !!!

which brings me to my last disclaimer !!! no#3 ...... you may feel the need to redecorate.... do a reno or just re style a room. We will open your eyes to the newest trends, bring in some vintage and throw a few eclectic pieces that you will need to have. You may have an over whelming need to drive to lily g at any given moment.

I am on a blogging journey so please be patience with me and I will see if I can master or at the least have a load of fun along the way !!

It doesnt take much to make an impact on a budget.

Rain Rain go away !!!!!

So we have started another Reno where we are transforming a tired three story in Yerronga on teh corsso for a gorgeous couple. The house is a former Mediterranean that we will bring to life..... it was in need of a face lift ..... well most of us are at time to time.....

We have scaffolding up tradies everywhere, just started the outdoor deck where will will also be resurfacing the pool from a manky green to an amazing azure blue, it will all look very glam.....

we are also replacing some yuk aluminium bi folds to beautiful natural redwood sliders that will glide and not feel like you are fighting them to open !!!!

So I do with the rain would go away and let us keep working on our master piece......
