  • Farmhouse table

farmhouse table

My Very Clever Husband made me a big farmhouse style table out of pallet timber.

A couple of years later I updated it by painting and distressing the legs white and white washing the top.

We seat 8 people for meals every day but it is big enough to seat 12 comfortably.

Go here to see the result:

Country-coastal sitting room

Our sitting room was extremely dark and brown with a lot of broken and chipped tiles when we first bought our home. We pulled up all the tiles and relaid them ourselves and painted the ...»
walls white. Much the same as our living room, the furniture is thrifted and upcycled, except for the striped sofa which we bought new. This room has a little more colour than our very white living room, but is still based on country-coastal neutrals.

You can see more pictures of our sitting room over at my blog http://peachesandmaple.blogspot.com.au

Living room

This is my country-coastal style living room that we renovated last year. Since this is our first home we really are on a shoestring budget and all our renovations are DIY. This room was ...»
one of the biggest selling points for us when we first viewed the house as it's bay window and vertically joined claddling lends itself perfectly to our country coastal style of decorating.

Our crisp, white slipcovered couch is one of the few new items of furniture in the room with the rest being thrifted and upcycled, usually with a coat of beachy white paint. I also love to decorate with stone and white, soft blues and aquas, stripes, polka dots and a whole lot of white.

As you can see the living room was extremely brown when we moved in. Firstly we painted the walls in Dulux Fair Bianca half strength, changed out the curtains, pulled up the carpet and retiled the floor.
