lounge/family room

Our favourite spot has to be our loungeroom/family room, its great because we can be doing seperate things but still be together, I love open plan. I can be in the kitchen, Chris on the lounge, girls at their nook and Beau playing on his mat and we are in full view of each other. (Also means I can keep an eye on the girls while they are on the computer &/or homeworking).

(I do tend to move/change things up from time to time, mainly to see where things ie artworks/cushions/lamps etc look best...)

Again, I have tried to keep it colourful, bright and happy....afterall kiddies live here! But I still think it is a nice relaxing adult space too. (Looking forward to Winter to have the combustion fire going too, always love the atmosphere and warmth from a fire.)

I deliberatley left out a coffee table, only so the girls and Beau could have more space to play, which considering our house is on the small side, they need....(The ottoman is easily moved too if need be.) Not only that, I hate clutter! love to feel like I have space around to completley relax.

Kids Wii games and consoles plus blu-ray player, cds, etc are all stored in the tv unit (from Harvey Norman) I like everything to have a place, makes it easier to pack away too!

enough space to get your game grove on too

pretty much all you see is from IKEA, (except my replica Eames rocker)

the girls little nook area.

perfect place to relax/play with our boy...

Cushions, throws and artworks are such an easy way to add colour (or not....) I kept our basics black, white and grey so I can always change the colour scheme, depending on my mood &/or the season. Plus colour always looks so much better against black and white or grey!

(I like changing things up, especially moving artworks etc, this painting stayed here originally, now I have my DIY deer here) Drives Chris a little crazy at times, but hes happy if Im happy....hehe.

 This is another abstract of
 mine, but I was thinking      
 there was a little too much red for my liking, so I tweaked it a little....left is the finished result.


   till next time.....
  bye for now!
