What have we been up to lately?

Recently we decided to make the house a little more comfortable whilst we are still planning and saving for the larger renovations (deck, bathroom, open plan lounge etc.). We first decided to paint the lounge room a fresh white (Dulux Natural White) with a white trim for the windows, skirting and door frames.

The result was better than expected. We are delighted with the fresh look. We re-arranged the furniture and the space felt so different. We now have room for a dinner table, abiet a small one.
 
We have ordered some new furnture from Early Settler. We would not usually choose a furniture package, often these can look a little inpersonal, but when we saw these pieces, we were sold. They are fresh, solid and quite simple. We felt they could match any style or decor, whether it be a beachy look, cottage, modern or balianse.

These are some photos we took at the store.

These should arrive by the end of January. I can't wait.
 

In the meantime, I have my eye on a new sofa setting. I would really like the Ektorp range (3 seater and 2 seater) as this is very neutral, classic stlying and I love that the covers are interchangable.
