Maybe I can go 2 years without hitting the stores? In truth, I have enough to last a lifetime, but don't tell my husband!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time is short, we all know that. Fitting everything into my day doesn't leave a lot of time for creative pursuits.That's why this year I've started a journal/list/grateful book, in the style of smash books. I can quickly put a page together with whatever I have on hand, in quicker time and without the usual paper shuffling or pursuit of perfection. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I call it anti-scrapbooking. Just stuff that's important to me and my family. Milestones, lists, thoughts, odd pictures and photos, bullet points, letters, notes, bits and pieces from the junk drawer - our life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It reads:You have an inner beauty, a generous heart and are always thinking of others. Taking up the challenge to color your hair was brave, raising funds for charity was challenging and watching you do it all is inspiring! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My children are getting a little older (my son starts Secondary school next year, eek!) and wanted their bedrooms to reflect a little more personality. So, while we are painting the house we put a little effort into tween-ing up the kids' spaces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CJ loves orange, and we were concerned when he said he wanted an orange feature wall. After dawdling through the color chips at the paint store, steering him toward terracotta oranges or cinnamon neutrals he decided he loved <a href="http://www.taubmans.com.au/ColourCentre/colour-details/65068/orange-relish">Taubmans Orange Relish</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The results speak for themselves. A splash of orange feature wall: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, I am no interior decorator but I think the results are exceptional. Knowing how long it took to fill every nail hole on his walls, or removing the greasy mark left by blu-tack before painting, I wasn't going to have to repeat that task any time soon. Instead, I purchased a sheet of reo (concrete reinforcing) from </span><a href="http://www.bunnings.com.au/mesh-reinforcing-hd-1800x1000x200x7mm-71403_p1060409" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bunnings Warehouse</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, sanded it down with a wire brush and used methylated spirits to wipe away the grease and grime. A couple of cans of black spray paint later and the reo was transformed from grungy metal to modern industrial. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Painting and screwing some timber supports the same color as the wall eliminates ugly fixings and the reo looks suspended and like it belongs on the wall. Using hooks he can change his wall display as he likes - skateboard, photos, medals, games, caps.... add a couple of simple black shelves above to proudly display his trophies. An ebay bargain couch - serious bargain $100 brand new, folds out to a bed - rug and cushion from <a href="http://www.ikea.com/au/en/?cid=au|ps|branded|brand|google|ikea_australia">Ikea</a> complete the look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My daughters space was a little harder to complete, and is still a little work in progress (her taste changes weekly!) Again we hit ebay looking for a bargain or two and stumbled upon a tubular bunk bed. After removing the bottom bed supports and spraying a fresh coat of white paint the bunk was transformed into a funky loft bed. Further ebay-ing netted us a comfy couch, Ikea provided the handy table and shaggy rugs (2 lined up next to each other) and the paper lanterns and artwork were 11th birthday presents.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This month <a href="http://showusyourstuff.blogspot.com.au/">Show us your stuff</a> set a mood board challenge for inspiration. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took inspiration from the colors - teals, blues, orange and pink. I also designed my layout using a graphic style, like the mood board. I found some paint color chips and cut them into squares using a punch, rest assured all of the colors worked together. Some are mounted with foam tape to give a little dimension and I've incorporated some circular elements, much like the vases and spots in the mood board.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of my favorite photos! You know the kind, you are scrolling through your camera and have to do a double take because there are a dozen or so selfies of the little people in your life - snap, snap, snap, selfie!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Surprisingly Vanna had a blast at Motorfest with her dad. She liked the roar of the engines, the burning rubber and the loud music.
