Hello 2014!

 

 
 
Well Hello Lovely People! Hope you have all enjoyed your Christmases and the New Year....
 
 
 
 
So it's January 2014.....ours has started off well, Mr Bea is revamping our very mouldy bathroom.....teenagers and showers = Bathroom Mould!
 
 
 
 
And after 16 years we are saying goodbye to our Tardis, our very well loved SMEG.....but I couldn't let him go completely, I've kept the freezer door as a little reminder, well actually a rather large one, goodness knows what I'll do with him! All suggestions welcome!!!
(For those distressed by the fact, a new one is being delivered today, pastel blue this time!)
 
 
 
The house is getting back to normal.....
 
 
 
 
But there will be lots of changes in 2014..... Lots of revamping of rooms.....BRING ON THE COLOUR!!! I'm looking forward to continuing my quest to create a colourful home!
 
 
 
I've missed being here and popping over to see you, I've a shopping date planned with my friend today (actually, nice cafe, coffee and chat might be the sum of it!) so hopefully I will pop over to see you all soon!
 
Thank you for all your lovely New Year Wishes!
 
Bye for now,
 
Ada :) xxx

    because i own a baby pink smeg and know how truly beautiful and yet utterly rubbish as a working item they are I was going to suggest you buy a normal fridge/freezer that works.. doesn't frost over every other day/ doesn't have shelves that snap and then razor cut you every time you get the bread, doesn't have a door so fat and heavy that it bounces itself open and then defrosts all your food unexpectedly whilst weeing on the floor, etc etc etc......and then glue the fancy smeg door to the front of new working model! But i see you are smeg obsessed and have already re-mortgaged your house to buy a new one in the name of non-functional beauty! Oh well!!! I was hoping you could break free and be a light of hope for the rest of us....see you at the next....i love my smeg and cant let go anonymous meeting! xxxxx

    Wondering about the door....as you are having a bathroom refit could you make a cupboard frame to fit the door and have a rather cool bathroom cabinet? Your crafts are inspirational- I love your posts!

    Happy New Year Amanda... here's a thought for the door; sand a rectangular shape in the middle to act as a key for blackboard paint and hang in the kitchen. Handy for shopping lists and appointments. It tickles me to see that little mat I made in your photos... xx

    Happy New Year lovely Ada! Mouldy bathrooms not much fun, but something I'm familiar with too, having teenagers who spend half an hour in the shower!

    Hope you had a lovely time with your friend, and can't wait to see your makeovers, although your home always looks lovely anyway ....

    Love claire xx

    wonderful! can't believe you had a dark blue smeg and you called it a tardis!! I don't know what you should with it but i agree it's keepable. I know someone who once had a car door with flowers on mounted on the wall, because they wanted to keep a reminder! lovely to have new decoration plans, enjoy, Heather x

    You could use the door as a piece of artwork........... can you put magnets on it? How about a pinboard?
    When you have decorated would you like to come and do mine?

    Your new fridge sounds really pretty! I got a new one almost two years ago, plain white, but it's huge and that's what I really wanted. Enjoy your renos and new appliance!

    I take advantage of a steamy bathroom to grow plants that like a moist atmosphere. Unfortunately I am the person who has to do all the mould removal. How lucky you are to have someone to do it. Sigh. Wishing you all a very happy New Year.

    You could use the door for a magnetic poetry board. It's great fun, you can lose yourself for hours x

    Happy new year Ada! No ideas yet from me about the salvaged door but I would have done the same, would actually make a very cool trap door into the roof or a cubby now I think about it! Looking forward to seeing the baby blue arrive and another year of your colouring your home- same project at my place once i have finished all the white paint that is! mel x
