And to you, and to Chook too, of course. Sydney just has the best fireworks, doesn't it? Though I'm glad that Mr Dog and I don't live there. It'll be rough enough here. Row, I think you've done a great job. Yes, the roller blind may no longer live in that room. Thanks for sharing the other pics -- see, you were dreaming of pattern on walls before I came along.

Hi I love the lounge colour and your coffee table. I think if space is an issue and you need the study area go with the ply wood suggestion on the storage drawers and decorate with cool stationary accessories like bright folders and storge files etc. I love the teal green idea and also apple green cushions. I feel like with the lounge and coffee table style you could get away witth introducing some almost industrial accessories. I think metallics are great to lift a room and there are so many colours ranging from muted neutrals to bright gold and silver. I also love playing with texture and you can get some great metallic wall art, lamps, vases etc mixed with cosy throws and rugs. I love metallics teamed with neutral especially your grey walls and colour of your floor boards. Good luck and Happy decorating Kind regards Alison

If you do consider taking down the blinds (looks like leafy garden outside one window, so you can have them open during the day), add white or cream sheers. Make sure the pole is as close to the ceiling as you can get it (rather than the window frame), and the sheers go right to the ground. It will let in light, add softness and elongate your windows.

Oh no, sorry to hear about the mystery issue with your tomato plant! It's awesome that you're diving into the world to grow tomatoes, though! The clear container is a unique twist – good thinking!About the ants and algae, that's quite the unexpected company for your tomatoes. I'm no expert, but maybe the community here can lend a green thumb and help you troubleshoot. Have you tried checking if the roots seem healthy? Sometimes that can offer a clue. Happy growing, and hope you get your tomatoes thriving soon!
