Project Sofa {Chaise}

A military grade search has taken place over the last year in an effort to procure the perfect sofa, many options have been sourced that don’t suit our 6 foot tall frames. Call it a lack of communication but I have been searching for a three seat sofa whilst the Mr in recent months has deferred his search to a chaise lounge, what a Game changer!.

Chaise lounges scare me, I like symmetry too much and as you know I change my mind often, What if we move? And most importantly will we need to call “shotgun” every night the enviable corner position?

Do you have a chaise lounge? Do you think they look better with square or round coffee table or ottomans?

I needed a little convincing so I did a little “Peeping”.

Large Scale Beach Photography & Lounge Musings

Last year I purchased this very special photograph that is now hanging pride of place in our lounge.  

Lately I have been shopping up a storm in the search for the prefect lounge.

Maybe I have found it... but I am still unsure, what do you think?.

Coco Republic - Deco

In the grey colour above as the munchkin (below) ensures that the fabric choice is not dark or velvet, the Black Velvet chairs get a pet hair roller at least once a day (enough said?).

The rest of the room:

Here are a few beautiful spaces that feature Large scale beach prints:

 

The Roadside Find…{DIY}

A little while ago I gave you a sneak peek of a little something in the back of our Car.

After leaving dinner with some friends late one night my husband with his keen roadside find eye “drawers” I yell “Go back!” under the dark of night we quietly inspected the fabulous find with minimal light, I said “Castors, get this thing into the car!”.

The very next day I ripped off the mirror hold and attacked this beauty with my electric sander.

Before:

After: I think it's rustic imperfect charm fits well within our eclectic apartment and , I love the raw wood finish.

Here is a better photo of one of my favourite prints from Driftwood Interiors

"Collected" feather print from Driftwood Interiors (USD$25)

I put the old entertainment unit on Gumtree, It was sold and picked up within the day for $60….. It was bought it on Ebay for $20 four years ago, got to be happy with that!
