We're MARRIED!

Our wedding yesterday was the most magical experience; I'd like to thank everyone who made our day so special and such a giant pile of fun!

We're off on our honeymoon for the next few weeks, and while I had every intention of scheduling posts for while we were away I just ran out of time (I know, bad blogger!). On the upside, you can expect about a billion updates about the wedding and honeymoon when we get back!

See you when we get back form Cuba!

Kitchen Vignette- In the dining area.

Okay, I guess it's not strictly the kitchen, but it's open plan so I'm going to count the dining area in my little kitchen vignette series. Our wedding is this weekend and we are super busy, so I have been posting a series of instagram pics of our new kitchen.

Lots of last minute little bits to get done before the wedding have been keeping us busy, but we're trying to make sure that we get some time to chill out and enjoy our new (almost finished!) living areas.

Kitchen Vignette- Good morning kitchen!

It was so exciting waking up to our new kitchen and seeing how good it looked in the morning light. I still can't wait until it is all completely finished, there are just a few finishing touched in this area of the house and we'll call it done! 

Good morning, new kitchen!
Over the few days I will be posting a few vignettes of the kitchen as we are really quite busy in the lead up to our wedding. We are so looking forward to it! I hope to be able to share a few pics from the wedding day before we go jetting away to our honeymoon.

Kitchen Vignette- Mug collection

We've had a lot of fun  (not to mention a lot of very hard work!) moving the kitchen, dining room, and setting up the new lounge room. Over the few days I will be posting a few vignettes of the kitchen as we are really quite busy in the lead up to our wedding.

Dip glaze collection and retro canisters
My dip glaze collection finally has a home worthy of it- on full display on our wonderful open shelving. And don't my grandma's retro canisters look sweet?

Kitchen Vignette- Murano glass

The morning light in our new dining area is so pretty! In the week leading up to our wedding I will be posting a few vignettes of the kitchen/dining area as we are as busy as can be.

There are still lots of little bits of finishing to do (such as the windows you can see in the background here) but the majority of the work has been done in the living area. In fact, I'm chilling on our brand new couch writing this post! Most exciting. It's all happening around here!

Kitchen Vignette- Cook Books

We've had a lot of fun the last couple of days (not to mention a lot of very hard work!) moving the kitchen, dining room, and setting up the new lounge room. Over the next few days I will be posting a few vignettes of the kitchen as we are really quite busy in the lead up to our wedding.

Cook books and a clock
I'm still fiddling around with things, in fact I have moved the cook books three times already. The clock has been right there for a month already, there was a nail there from the building and it just seemed to fit perfectly.

By the way, I'm on Instagram now, look dearlittlehouse up!

Happy Easter!

I hope that everyone is having a lovely and relaxing Easter Sunday! That's what 4 day weekends are for. Don't eat too much chocolate.

We're taking a little time to chill out and relax with the extended family today with a lazy ploughman's lunch at my mum's house. After a busy week getting the house presentable before the wedding and madly running around doing last minute wedding things I think we deserve it!

Kitchen Vignette- Crockery

We've had a lot of fun the last couple of days (not to mention a lot of very hard work!) moving the kitchen, dining room, and setting up the new lounge room. Over the next week I will be posting a few vignettes of the kitchen as we are really quite busy in the lead up to our wedding.

Crockery, and a bird cage.
I'm still fiddling around with things, and I'm sure that I will forever and ever! So far, this is what our crockery shelf looks like. I'm still in love with the open shelving.

Pain-ting the kitchen.

So much pain! My neck and shoulders are seriously protesting the crazy painting frenzy situation. Add to that I have a cracker of a headache from paint fumes and lack of sleep. The lack of sleep was mostly my fault- I forgot to turn my alarm off and was woken up at 6:10 on a public holiday!

The kitchen/bomb site
Also, I just got instagram on my phone. I haven't had time to explore it yet, but it is supposed to be awesome so I'm going to have to make a little time to figure it out. Wish us luck with the second coat this morning!

Chalkboard choices.

Who knew there were so many different options to choose from for chalkboard paint? This makes my decision a little more difficult; I thought the only options were 'black' and 'greeny-black'. Now I have no idea which one to choose, they all look so very exciting!

We have been so terribly busy in the last few weeks it is crazy. Our wedding is less than two weeks away, our house (in which we are hosting a brunch for 40 odd people the morning after the wedding) is still a construction zone. We had painters coming in on Monday to take some of the pressure off and paint for us, but they cancelled on us at 9pm on Sunday night. Awesome.

So between working late most nights this weeks and having to come home to paint I might be a very eye-baggy bride! I finish up work today though, so I will have a week and a bit off before the wedding. I'm hoping that will be plenty of time to get everything together, and if it's not...?
