Balcony

I had a bit of fun with Photoshop. Click to view larger.

For a while now I've been looking for an outdoor set for the front balcony. I finally found the perfect set this weekend in Bunnings.

All it needs are pink chair cushions that are suitable for outdoors

This here is where I'll spend my mornings with my son overlooking the (very distant) view of the city. I'm very happy about this.

PS: I've worked on my blog layout a little today. Please let me know if you have problems viewing this format - thanks!

  6. You are so cute: all three of you! I love that little set, I was admiring it a few weeks ago when I took a trip with my mother in law.

  7. ok - i'm sure you know this. but that is so stinking cool. is to tacky to make a print and hang it in your own home cause i would so totally do that. i don't know you but i think you're hilarious.

  10. Hi Viv,
    Would you mind telling me what the name and brand of paint you used for your house exterior is? I'm after that very colour for our weatherboard.
    Thanks!

  12. Hello, just reading your whole blog tonight/thismorning as it is so addictive - I want absolutely everything in your house! And I though I might offer up a little suggestion for you for your cushions - Have you thought of trying "Heat n Bond Vinyl"? it is a product that you can iron onto your normal fabrics and it makes gives it a vinyl covering that you can then sew with and use outdoors - sort of like an oil cloth. ( You may already know about this product, but just thought I would meantion it). Ok, I am going back to read the rest of your blog and drool. I can only hope that my blog will one day be this inspiring and addictive! have a happy day :)

  14. How great is that setting! It would suit my Mum's frenchy style house perfectly. Was it expensive?

  15. Chantelle I'm so sorry, I just realised I didn't reply. It wasn't too expensive at all. I think Bunnings might still have them if you are still after it.
