I placed an &nbsp;orange artglass dish beside them and scattered some leaves for the "trilogy of decor law". &nbsp;Impressed yet?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Well.........I'm liking the pared down look, a lot. &nbsp;It's getting really RETRO due to those items being placed on the old Chiswell teak &nbsp;sideboard that has turned a bit &nbsp;"orangey" in colour.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The walls are a cool white, beige carpet. &nbsp;The woodwork trim is teak in colour. &nbsp;Lamp shade is white.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Window coverings will be changed over for winter. &nbsp;Currently white sheer. &nbsp;Windows are East and North</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>For the chair fabric I'm thinking a sort of dark denim blue colour. with cushions that have&nbsp;a hint of the flower colours.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thoughts anyone?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>DEB</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:03:06 GMT lloydslights 2015-01-23T02:03:06Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517609#M387679 <P>After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this <IMG align="middle" border="0" alt="before and after 002.JPG" title="before and after 002.JPG" src="https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/58369i8649DD04DC5A0A33/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" /></P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:44:13 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517609#M387679 freddie*rooster 2014-09-19T06:44:13Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517613#M387680 <P>and this <IMG align="middle" border="0" alt="before and after 004.JPG" title="before and after 004.JPG" src="https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/58371i0F46CEF7A2CFCC02/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" /></P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:45:30 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517613#M387680 freddie*rooster 2014-09-19T06:45:30Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517617#M387681 <P><IMG align="middle" border="0" alt="before and after 009.JPG" title="before and after 009.JPG" src="https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/58373i1EDB49757E0F092E/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" /></P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:46:14 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517617#M387681 freddie*rooster 2014-09-19T06:46:14Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517619#M387682 <P>wow, what a diofference!!!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>well done Freddie!</P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:47:02 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517619#M387682 fiestas*girl 2014-09-19T06:47:02Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517623#M387683 <P>I have potted plants to put in yet <IMG align="middle" border="0" alt="before and after 013.JPG" title="before and after 013.JPG" src="https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/58375iCDC2C0072D524C31/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" /></P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:47:39 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517623#M387683 freddie*rooster 2014-09-19T06:47:39Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517625#M387684 <P>&nbsp;</P><P>You have been a very busy girl, well done, it looks amazing.</P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:48:44 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517625#M387684 shepherdsrule 2014-09-19T06:48:44Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517627#M387685 Freddie ... why did you RUUUIIIN it?<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />Lovely job <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:47:57 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517627#M387685 katydidthat 2014-09-19T06:47:57Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517635#M387686 <P>Could this be an ongoing thread - My Day .... achievements from others, whether it be gardening, painting, bringing up the kid's, or just getting out of bed LOL</P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:50:47 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517635#M387686 shepherdsrule 2014-09-19T06:50:47Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517639#M387687 <P>What a great idea gottbe....</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks for the compliments it was a good day.</P> Fri, 19 Sep 2014 06:52:07 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517639#M387687 freddie*rooster 2014-09-19T06:52:07Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/My-day/m-p/1517643#M387688 <P>Looks very nice now, freddie.
