An Update to our Coastal Style

I just wanted to add a few pics of some changes that have happened around the house. Some pieces are new, some re-purposed or refurbished and some nothing at all.
There are still new things I have done that I am not including today, well, maybe I will. :)
Each pic has an explanatory caption.


At the entry a little welcome to our guests.
Entry

Inside the lounge room the hallway table is home to a vignette of some of my favourite things right now. The table is a gorgeous piece my Dad made for me from timber he felled or found in western QLD.


In the lounge room I have a canvas I have painted along with coastal colours in the cushions and the re-purposed birdcage in my favourite turquoise colour.


The clock wall is still a work in progress it has changed 3 times in the past 2 months.


The retro table lamp is a garage sale pick up. I LOVE it! $5 and I have done nothing to it. The silver cake plate is the perfect place for my seaside treasures.



This pretty table was made by my Dad and step mum. It is one of my favourite pieces. I have had it for a long time now.

More garage sale pick ups.


This table and chair are new to our home. I just re-sprayed them last weekend. They were another garage sale pick up. I will be changing the lamp. It's too big and I am not liking this look at all. But for now it is being used.


This little stool is another garage sale pick up.

This gorgeous birdcage is another garage sale pick up. I am thinking of painting it but haven't decided on colour. The bird perch will probably be removed also.



My Dad rescued and refurbished this hutch from an old delapidated Qlder out west. It still has green paint inside the drawers :) It comes to me with so much love. I have had this for nearly 20 years.

All these items were garage sale pick ups except the wood turned burl bowl. Another treasure from my Dad, including the gem stones he fossicked for and tumbled himself.

 
Outdoors we bought the lounge but the trunk, tray, chair and life ring were all garage sale pick ups!!
