Now I don’t have a balcony or a view of any exotic looking European buildings What I do have is a great ugly back verandah that the dogs have the run of, It holds fine views of the two rabbit cages, a  pumpkin vine gone wild  and a lawn that nearly always needs mowing.  But she might be a beauty yet.

For When Your House Has Issues

March 22, 2016March 12, 2019 ~ traceyatwaterintowine ~ 21 Comments

I suspect my house might be like a lot of houses - its smaller, its older, its needy. It has issues. And such a range and variety of them. Long term issues, short term issues and everything in between issues. There's the undone, the half done and the nearly done. Things that are broken, things … Continue reading For When Your House Has Issues

Simple Hospitality and Other Non Events

September 16, 2015August 5, 2019 ~ traceyatwaterintowine ~ 24 Comments

So happy to be rounding the corner of the seasons and  seeing spring on the horizon. Spring seems so full of possibility and opportunity but I like how the cold isn't quite finished with us yet  - cardigan weather I call it. Warmer in the day but still chilly at night so if you go … Continue reading Simple Hospitality and Other Non Events

The Look of Love

May 19, 2015May 4, 2016 ~ traceyatwaterintowine ~ Leave a comment

  I wrote this post for Women Connect last week - it's a little bit of a follow on from my last post Love is Sweet so I thought I would share it here. A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. Proverbs 17:17 Love -  well … Continue reading The Look of Love

Thrifted interiors, hopeful words, DIY. Join me on Instagram

We had glorious weather here Easter Saturday - sun, blue sky and just the right amount of breeze that makes me want to make or fix or rearrange something - anything. Decided I’d give the top of my dining room table a quick do over that I’d been thinking about for a while. I’d painted stripes on the top about 5 years ago which I have always loved but it's taken a battering as all good dining tables should. I repainted the white stripes for starters being none too careful with the edges because they would be covered. The wood stained stripes that alternated had always been a touch darker than what I really liked but who has the energy to be faffing about sanding back stain! So Contact paper with a parquetry pattern to the rescue! Seemed like a big fat cheat but I have to say I am pretty darn happy with it. It's lighter, more casual and added some much needed texture. Bit of yellow coming through which is closer to original colour you can still see around the trim and works in just snazzy with my thrifted check sheets on the day bed that I found Saturday. Could not get them out of the store fast enough. Scroll for a gander. Butterfly cushion thrifted just recently as well
