Dive on in...

When we bought our house, the inground pool was a major selling point. With three kids, and the kind of sweltering summers we have here in Queensland, it's definitely had a workout over the years. Lately, it's been looking very tired, and we've had leaking pipes, broken pool pumps and filters, tiles falling off....you name it. This winter, we've had yet another leak, and at the moment it looks more like a swamp than a pool! So, we've decided to bite the bullet and give the old girl a bit of cosmetic surgery. New coping pavers, waterline tiles to replace the slate, and re-landscaping the pool area is on the cards, and not before time, I can tell you! One of the advantages of living on acreage is that we have space to play with, but it also can pose a few challenges - like where to put the mandatory safety fencing. Take a look at a few of my inspiration pics - and if my pool makeover looks half as good as some of these beauties, I'll be a very happy camper!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Reader redesign....the power of white paint

Last week, I received a lovely email from one of my blog readers, Karen. Karen and her husband had a common problem with their home, and one that I'm all too familiar with - the dreaded pine ceiling and brick wall combo! Karen had seen the huge difference a coat of white paint had made to my <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-big-planthe-kitchen-makeover-at-last.html">kitchen</a> and <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/07/lofty-heights-and-ceiling-lights.html">ceiling</a>, and is also a fan of Millie and Moth's work over at <a href="http://www.thelaurelhedge.blogspot.com/2009/08/answer-for-denise.html">The Laurel Hedge</a>, and so decided a white wash was exactly what was needed to give her family room a lift.
