Citrus

While browsing over the weekend ( yes Alison my boys were being entertained by their Dad as I told them I was on strike and needed some Mummy time LOL), I found lots of gorgeous pictures to keep me going for a while. I thought I would share these citrus themed ones today. Not everyone's favourite colour, but it is a rainy dreary day here and these are brightening my day!

A common theme runs throughput, but I love the mixed fabrics and shabby coffee table.


How cute is the little table? See, even the spare spot behind the lounge can be put to good use! Instead of seating all the furniture around the edge of the room (as Nate from Oprah would agree), it has been pushed in to create a more cozy feel and brunch can then be served under the window! The table has sides that flip up to make it larger if you wish to seat more friends.

Enjoy!

Yay for 'Mummy Time'. You certainly deserve it. i don't think the guys realise how tough it is to be a Mummy, wife, chief cook and bottlewasher.... yadda..yadda..yadda. So much work for Mums.
Love those colour combinations, so fresh looking. Love the idea of the room set up with the little table at the window.

This decor is so fun and colorful. Makes me all the more ready for spring as I look out at about 6-inches of snow on the ground.

And it's still snowing-lol.

Hi Katrina, seems this dreary darned rain is everywhere. It never seems to stop here these days, it has been pouring since yesterday afternoon & we are already waterlogged from previous downpours. Yuk. Your photos, though not my colours either, certainly do make you feel brighter.
Cheers, Coll :-}

What a breath of fresh air this post is hon. Thank you for taking the time to show the pics to us. Really is candy to my eyes as the colours do remind me or sorbet too or sherbet even. Hope you enjoyed your time out. How lovely that is when you can get it. Kids are so precious, but sometimes a little time out can do the world of good. ox Ali
