This weekend has been fun. We spent most of it just hanging out as a family. The children stayed up late with us and watched a Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus show and concert. They ate ice cream with lollies on top, a special request. I was looking online at furniture for childrens rooms and came across this tree.

I think it’s super cute but at this point in time, forking out $449.00 for a cardboard cutout is a bit beyond my budget. I really wanted one because I love the colourful retro look, especially for my little girl, so my first thought was to create a mural on her wall. Her room needs painting and we’d been planning on painting it this month but a mural seemed so permanent. I then had a thought that I’d use one of my huge canvases and create a simple tree design on there. So I did!

We spent a lot of time with our friend this weekend but still managed to get a wall in the bedroom painted. I had originally planned on a slightly darker green but hubby liked this one so we went with it. It’s turned out quite nice and it’s actually reeeeeallllly soothing and relaxing to be in the room now. Before it was so blah. The house is beige. A big beige nightmare, like the trend had been for the past 3 or 4 years. Thankfully it’s fading now and colour is coming back. I’m an artist, I NEED colour! Outside its a funky shape and modern black, it’s time the inside got some personality too. So here’s your sneak peak at our room.

View into the ensuite.

Don’t you just love all my jewellery? My Mum makes it!!!

These are a few candies that my children had. Hopefully you can see that they say ‘I Love You’. They each had a different word to eat, I thought it was a cute coincidence.

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
