These two dressers are my latest projects, both completed in the past two weeks. Originally the black one was going to be yellow and the yellow one green, but last minute change of heart resulted in the current colour scheme and I could not be happier about it. Both are currently listed on Etsy and generating a lot of buzz on Instagram, so predictions are they won't last long. There are two other pieces currently in the works and I hope to have them ready for you for some time next week.

Before and After - two chairs and a cabinet door
obviously" before" |
In their local hardware store i bought the spray paint, at the craft store I found the mod podge and the fabric came from my sister's sewing cabinet. A bit of sanding, gluing and spray painting resulted in this……
After |
One of the back rests was in a really bad shape and had to be completely replaced, so I opted out for two wooden slats. The End!

Introducing Angus & Celeste
Angus & Celeste Studio space in Ferntree Gully |
It was so hard choosing between all the beautiful hanging planters they have for sale. I though I wanted the one with gold polka dots but went home with two completely different ones. |
I spy with my little eye my next purchase |
They also have a large selection of beautiful jewelry for sale. The first yellow/white/wood combo necklace caught my eye. |
Selection of sweet statement rings. |
…and some brooches! |
A while ago as I was looking for plant and garden decor inspirations I came across the image of gorgeous ceramic hanging planters by Angus & Celeste. They are a ceramic design company from Melbourne, Australia and on my latest trip Down Under I decided I would come home with one of their pots. I sent them an email and quickly heard back from Asha, one of the owners, and we managed to set the date for me to drop by and check out the studio for myself. I was very excited to see first hand all the objects I had been admiring from afar. Everything was even more beautiful than on the pictures and I had a hard time choosing between so many things. Considering I decided to travel carry-on only my space was very limited but I still managed to fit in two of their pots (I will share the pictures in a separate post once they are in their permanents spots in my home).
Besides planters, their product portfolio also includes vases, ceramic wall decor pieces and jewelry. My next purchase may be that sweet vase with the green bunny on it (picture #4)

Turquoise Secretary Desk/Dresser
This desk/dresser was 90% finished and almost ready to be revealed when I sustained neck and back injury and could not move, let alone finish the work I had started. So here it is now, over a month overdue, but better late than never, right?
