Fancy Pants and Perfect Saturdays

I think I am currently in the midst of the perfect Saturday...it's cold and rainy and I've had what can only be described as a mega-nap.  Oh, did I mention I have a chicken curry doing it's thang in the slow cooker at this point? Martha who?

So, down to the important stuff.  We have an architect!  We met with Nick over a week ago and it became apparent very quickly that he was our man.  So, we are working on a Feasibility Study and Schematic Drawings to turn our house into a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with the all important 2 living rooms.  Honestly, having my own lounge room and a separate bathroom to the boys is totes Fancy Pants to me. We have had all the measuring done and have another meeting with Nick next week to take a peak at the first designs.  It's crazy exciting.

Of course my head is filled with details of furnishings and flooring options, windows, lighting, the perfect rug etc etc.  Our 4th bedroom will be dressed as a study.  This may come as news to my husband but I'm thinking that this room will be mine...ALL MINE!!! I'd love to kit it out with some of my fave pieces, I have an antique wardrobe and shipping trunk that would be perfect for the space.  I'm thinking of teaming it with a bright modern rug and a great desk and some shelves to house all my design books and STUFF.  Again with the whole getting ahead of myself thing.


Maybe some fun wallpaper??



Inevitably it will end up with a vintage vibe being that it will be inhabited by a bowerbird...me!




I like the white and gold.




Totally impractical but I had to share this fun pic.

And I NEED these pendants for the Master Bedroom.
I think I may use these as my 'jumping off point'.
I stole that line from Sarah Richardson (Canadian designer...google her, she's good).

In other non 'building the extension of my dreams' news I have 2 very dear friends both due to have babies in the coming weeks.  I've been very studious on the internet finding fun quirky gifts to welcome the new folks to the world...Exhibit A.


Pants a la funky!

Have a great week and keep yourselves nice...and gluten free.
