Penny from The Creek ;)

Watch out Katrina from The Block ! Look out, here comes Penny from The Creek (as in Reedy Creek, the suburb where we live) - Thats what my sister said to me the other day. Crack up!!!

I have been getting very creative since we have been in our new place and doing things i have never done before.
It isnt a shock to me as i have always had it in me to be creative just never have had the time. However to my mum and my sister who are both extremely creative they are in shock! Raising 3 kids and moving states and always owning our our buisness' hasnt left alot of time for ME.

Well that is about to change.

Kids are all growing up fast and seem to entertain themselves now and don't crave for me much anymore ;( Which has given me more space to find something to do in my small, but spare time.

It was time for a makeover.

I picked up these chest of draws for nothing many years ago. They have been tucked away in my old walk in robe. I have been spending alot of time on the net and saw a great idea.
Blackboard Painted furniture. OMG my new love...

Just need to add glass knobs..

I totally love the finished product. At this stage my daughter had to wait 72 hr before she could write on it. I am now trying to source cheap but lovely glass knobs. I will be sure to post a pic once i have found them.

This table has been around me most of my life. It was a coffee table of my mums when i was growing up. Then mum gave it to me when i first moved out. It has been painted many different colours over the years.

It's new use is our Outdoor snooker rooms Noughts and Crosses table.

At the moment it is in my youngest boys bedroom as a bedside table until i get him some,  or until the outdoor room is completed.

 Here are some more ideas i have in mind. Just got to get past the husband to allow me to paint the newly painted bedrooms.

Love this blackboard artwork

I would love to do this to my youngest boys room

So cool for any organised high school or uni students room

I am addicted to Instagram. To much i am told by my husband.

If only knew what i put on there ;) He would die LOL
