Our Sunny Lounge...

It's been one week since moving in and things are already starting to take shape at our Retro Abode. The floors have come up a treat, and with the old curtains gone the lounge room is now light, bright and airy. Just how I like it. Bring on the sunny winter afternoons!

I decided that we needed a round dining table to fit the shape of the room better so luckily this week I found an original (mint condition) Parker setting with matching lounge suite in a gorgeous sage green on E-Bay.

Now all we need to do is purchase a new light fitting, paint the walls, have the blinds cleaned, and bring in our floor rug once the floors have completely hardened in a couple of weeks. Oh yeah, and I must remove the skirt on the new retro lounge to reveal the teak legs!

Country Sleep Over

My Dinky-Dye Platypus named 'Denis' went for a 'sleep over' in the Barossa Valley on the weekend. He spent the night with our friends Cherie and Damien on the farm where the delicious Scullery Made Tea is made.

In the morning, Denis was found outside looking at his reflection in the pond. He particularly enjoyed the crisp country air and watching the runner ducks!
