Something for your door

Nothing is more welcoming for family and friends at Christmas time then to be greeted at your door by a gorgeous Christmas Wreath.

Ours this year is a collection of red baubles with loads of glitter on them in different sizes.

I was going to make one but decided against it when I saw the cost of the baubles I fell in love with and realised the amount I would need to create something magical.

Friends in Melbourne use twisted willow and hang tiny ornaments on it - it really is beautiful and over the years it has been something to look forward to when visiting their house.

A wreath can be made of anything and decorated to suit your own style and budget.

I found a few beautiful wreaths earlier today - all stunning and all could easily be replicated.

Our office/study - the creating begins

When we first moved into the post office residence there was a reasonable amount of room for our desk to be placed.

This happened 8 months ago, and ever since has been the dumping ground of everything - from work papers, to old wine boxes to dog toys.

Last week though I was inspired to create a workstation where we both could work and enjoy so yesterday I bought some decorative architrave, black board paint and a small pot of white paint to start the transformation.





I hope that these photos will insprire me to create a relaxing and studious place for us to use.
