Updating the decor

It is freezing here so we lit the fire!! Honey loves it OMG how FAT is she!!!

I have been thinking for quite a while now that I would like to update our bedroom. The comforter I have is beautiful, however it is blue and white and it gets absolutely FILTHY all the time, mainly with the cats laying all over it, especially at night.

The nightmare is that I can't wash it in the washing machine as it is too big. I have to take it to the laundromat and use their big industrial maching - at $15 a wash - & I BYO powder, its expensive!!! Also, I would like a change too as I have had it now for nearly 4years.

There are some quite good sales on at the moment which I have taken advantage of. I will update the progress of the room as it goes, but here is the room now (please excuse my messy washing everywhere).

I decided I wanted to go for a brown & another colour. I got a lovely doona cover from Myer on sale at 40% off. I needed something to go with it and I am really hopeless when it comes to matching colour etc. So today I took Michael and we went to the shops and a lovely girl in one of the shops called My House helped me put together a "look" hehehe.

She suggested some Euro pillow covers in a cream with black and brown (for a bit of a feature). How good did it look!!! Fantastic (I never would have tried it). She put a cream cushion & a black cushion and it looked really fantastic. It will go brilliantly with our new wedding photo we ordered from the photographer. The good news was that everything I bought was 50% off so it only cost $25 for the euro pillows & cream cushion (their black one was a bit sequiney for my taste). I have to buy some sheets in cream/beige & a black pillow & throw. We will see how it looks - I will update as we go.

Its been a yucky weekend but we really needed the rain. Our Mothers Group Kids Birthday was a wash out but will be on next week. Fingers crossed for nice weather.

The chooks are still clucky and sitting on eggs. I removed one from Frizz as it was cold to touch when I touched it and it was sticking out from her a bit. The incubator is going well except we had a blackout for about 1.5 hrs today grrrrrrrr. Oh well we will see how we go :-)

Have a great week
