Happy Easter!

Welcome to Easter in the Farmhouse Kitchen.
Inspiration for this pic came from Dreamy Whites.



The vintage bunny egg basket was a gift from Kim.



Easter egg colouring fun!

I don't usually make things in polymer clay but Liberty had some. Unfortunately the box it was in used to have glitter in it - it took a bit of time to pick the glitter out of the clay.
Making the eggs was fun...I got carried away and even made a tiny broken egg - because I know if my kids were doing anything with eggs there would be breakages...and more than likely eggs all over the floor too!

Happy Easter to you all!

The Farmhouse Attic Bedroom

I can finally show you the attic master bedroom!
This wasn't the easiest space to transform. 
The slope of the roof means there's not a lot of useful room. 
I built some wardrobes at the end of the room to give the space a more interesting shape.

I'm not sure if that bed will stay there yet.
I might have to make a new one.

Lots of shelves waiting to be filled. 
Getting the wardrobe doors the right shape was tricky!

Sometimes I look at that bed and love it...other times I'm not so sure!
Actually I think it's when I'm considering making another bed that I decide I love this one...some things (like bed building) just seem like too much trouble!
Although I'm sure someday inspiration will strike and then there'll be no stopping me.

There's built in shelving on either side of the bed to make the best use of the space.

I made the little cabinet years ago. It just happened to fit perfectly in the alcove.

Trying to figure out how the wardrobe doors should open was a challenge.
 I nearly gave up...but I'm not really into giving up...
When I get an idea I usually see it through no matter what! 
And eventually I figured out the best way to make the doors open...one day they'll be filled with tiny clothes!
