Luna drawing - the first of many
I love the way she holds the pencil
in her tee pee
sweet focus

Swedish Home in Holland - a Dream Space

Click on the heading above to go  to an interior I love.

for its

  • simplicity
  • white shelving
  • bedroom ease
  • artwork on clip curtain line
  • gorgeous old rocking chair
  • lounge on wheels
  • oh god all of it………..

I relate to the idea that the home is like a blank canvas ready for the buoyancy of family & friends……

And the hints here and there of the inhabitants

(yes I’m aware of the fact the photos are totally strategic & styled for zero clutter)

This is to me a place that resonates to me

I’d love to see yours, please put a link in the comments of your dream space/home….

even better upload a pic or two

Well goodnight all

ps. I want that high chair!!

Camping & Apple Cider Vinegar, Cayenne Pepper….oh & the Ironing

We went away for the weekend to Coffs Harbour. Hubby put up the tent (for one night) in the pouring rain-I sat in the car entertaining small person. It was soo funny.

Oh and he loved it………..and it rained the whole time at the farm…….

so now I’m drinking a whole lot of this……..

whilst I attempt to finish this

The Finished Shelves & Drawers

This has taken a little longer than planned to get on here yet they were finished really quickly. So happy with the result. Though now think I need to move them to another spot!!

I have left the finish not too perfect, however I can see from the photo that perhaps that edge could really do with another coat!!!

Here are a little set of Drawers my Sweet One brought home for me!! Desperately awaiting a good splash of paint. Some people actually thought I should leave them as they were - shock horror.

Now this is only one coat of paint thrown on during one of my Bub’s infamously short naps…so another coat is definitely required… I’ll get there;-)

Anyway, things are getting whiter slowly but surely - even Mr has commented what a change he can see - for the better.

Heading away up north this weekend, to see some special friends. Adventuring we go. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Cheers

Justine

Welcome,

Where to start, I guess the idea is to choose a subject and to run with that. However, I never learnt essay writing at school, have never had to write for work or do reports. I have only ever written in my journals, inconsistently at that….

My reasoning for calling this ablancspace………gives me room to roam…

So here I am, without access to the internet on my computer where all my photo’s are so I have taken over my kind H’s work PC so I can explore this new adventure.

I have thought about all the things I want to write about and it has drawn me into the present moment of my life and what I do on a daily basis and focusing my attenion there more.. 

It was my birthday a couple of days ago, wow I am getting closer to 40 That really does make me a grown up ;-).

So what to do with this new found knowledge!!

Well just get on with it, keep learning, create more, stay humble, be big and courageous. Most of all be me. Ooh what fun…….. 

For now, I want to pot the new plants I was given for B’day-will upload photo when done. Paint the Old Ladder. Paint the Old School Cupboard. The TV Cabinet, even though we don’t watch TV. Then a Moon Painting for my Little One’s room. Pick up shelving for the spare room……and paint that….too many ideas to list

These little adventures will make it here as I go…

Please leave me a comment…I’d love to hear what you think of these creations…

or follow me here…http://twitter.com/ablancspace and join in for a little laughter

Well that’s all for now, time to curl up with loved ones…

Good Night

flowers for the lounge
well here is part of my home. We have lived here for 9 months, and it has been a journey to say the least. We expanded my business. Gave birth @ home in the water to our beautiful little one. My paintings have been on hold though I feel like the next series are unfolding now and are ready to be started. I am desiring a real camera and been holding off blogging till then ~ that was simply taking too long! So for now enjoy my phone camera!!
