Free 'Mia Bella Gardens' Black And White Photo Printables...

As you know, I am in the midst of a home do-up. 

The Master Bedroom is the first room in the house to get a makeover.

I  really liked the mirror idea for above the bedside tables...

So off I went to the shops and found the most delicious mirrors

 , black with a hint of masculine French Country styling.

BUT they were at a horrific price.

It would have cost $120 for two mirrors!!!

OUCH!!!

And as I have a list of rooms to makeover, 
AND I am saving for a house lot of new carpet,

spending that much was just not an option.

So....

I picked up two lovely long black frames with white mats 
($25 sale price for two).

Each frame would hold three photographs each.
 I could have taken images straight from the Internet,
(which I did do for one art piece in the room)
but for these frames
I wanted something a bit more personal.
I saw 'Sarah Richardson designer' do it on one of her 'Sarah 101' shows.

In fact Sarah and Tommy quite often do original photography or art 
when the budget does not allow for Gallery bought!
So...

out came the camera, and I got snapping crazy!

 As I wandered around 'Mia Bella Gardens' and inside the house, I looked for interesting shapes, leaves and flowers.
From the thirty or so photos,

I chose my favourites,

printed them ($6.00),

popped them in the frames,

and hung them above the bedside tables.

Total cost $31.00!!!!

AND they look AMAZING!
:)

As I love to share,

here are the watermark-free photographs.

FREE for you to copy 
(just right click & save to your home computer), 
print and enjoy.

You could use them for card-making, too.

Latest Furniture Piece...

Now you all know how I adore upcycled furniture, re-purposing of the tired and frumpy, 

and just plain old boring wooden pieces of bygone eras.

 I needed a bedside to match the chest of drawers with Queen Anne legs.

I found the perfect piece already upcycled, and here it is in all its divine glory.

Isn't it cute?
I have a love affair with Queen Anne legs!

I love the gentle curves on the top of the cabinet...

Can you see them hiding just behind the pretties?

And the knob is a hint of bling (of course)!

 A furniture photo shoot is a plain old good excuse to share some pretty things, too.
like 'Mia Bella Garden' flowers and a light-catching mosaic glass ball.

The flowers are:

Chrysanthemums, purple linaria, and the glorious pink blooms of Mandevilla 'Parfait'.
Did you know that this vine flower lasts well in a vase!!
Perfect for little posies as they don't have very long stems.

This posy was strategically placed for the photos, but will be going in a small vase to be enjoyed.

Easter Table at Mia Bella...

This year's table is a simple pastel theme.

With a gorgeous aqua coloured table cloth, 

and pale pink and white spot table runner.

I filled my spotty aqua bowl with pretty pink Japanese anemones, a few pink geraniums,

and white portulacas.

(Did you know portulacas last really well in a vase?)

 Ombre foil-wrapped chocolate eggs to scatter.

 And a cute white ceramic Easter bunny as a centrepiece focal!

Mister rabbit sits in pride of place

upon a large and small mismatched pair of French-inspired platters.

Some loose flowers were scattered, just to add some more prettiness.

And there you have it...

a simple Easter no fuss, but pretty table!
