After the Snow...Comes the Rain!

Trying to find out how to put in a pic I want at the top, after I've started...and it won't let me change the original links it created when I first published it a while ago.

So it looks like maybe no pics on this post to-day in FBk!

Nothing much to report this week...or so I thought for most of it!
Found my inspiration...
Snow has gone...hoping for more, the sun has shone, it's been below zero to minus 11C and up to 8C in the day...at the moment it is supposed to be snowing but is 2C

And after the rain comes the sun...
Starting to melt...
The next day...
Of course it rained and melted most of the snow...
Then next day...all gone!
Time to pull down the tree and put away the Xmas decs...Found these cute little tree decs in Belgrade...
Cute as...
This little one had lights in it...all of less than 2 inches big!
It must still be pretty cool out there. These  huge blocks of ice are from inside the barrels of water, turned to ice. A week after the snow melted, the rains came, the sun shone for days, the temp went to 8C for a day or so...they are still pretty hefty ice blocks.
Yesterday I found a great website...http://catherinesvineyardcottages.com/ and gained the inspiration to continue the renos in this style.
Some great ideas...

Nothing really gelled with me that I tried and I just could not gain inspiration to continue in any form at all. the dark timbers , nice and all as they are, fully restored, still did not seem the right fit for here, so I was languishing around in the gloom of winter, trying and testing things, but nothing worked.
This has all the colours I like and combines things I have here in the place, so it's full steam ahead now.
Here are the colours of nature...all brightened up in the lovely picture you just saw above.


Plus, I found a shop in Tiszafured which has all these exact types of interior decorations and the couple came out and had a look here. The man, Tibi, fixed my new gas heater...it wouldn't work, or at least, I couldn't get it to work. 

Then he fixed a lamp that went kaput too. I'd tossed it out into the bin and went and fished it out as I thought he might have magic fingers and indeed he did!

Shame I tossed my DVD player, my electric jug and hot plate out over the past few weeks too.. 

They all just  stopped working...Sighhh, but I waited for months with the hot plate and jug and a couple of weeks with the DVD player, so I'm trusting the Universe had no hope of them being fixed... in its sights!


Zoltan came over this morning and we shifted some furniture around, moved cement etc and am now getting ready to finally get things rockin' and rollin' here to pretty it all up.
Was already going to use a table I have here for this idea, so am chuffed to see how!
Have these beds...
Have a box/table just like this...but not painted like this one yet! The white table in the left corner I have and am using that for the vanity in the bathroom.


Very simple to replicate...
And to top it all off with a sign from above that this IS the way to go...as I have all the furniture...the green stool...I have an exact one, just like this, same size and all. amazing. So, the house is done folks. The Little Lodge of many wonders, lives again! But...check out the wine vat as a shower base...I even have 4 various sized vats....hmmmnnn, for the rebuild of the collapsed shed bathrooms???
And to add an extra dash of must do this...to the project, check out these! I have one, sort of like this, but 100 yrs old and obviously unable to be used as a basin, but Gabriella, at the shop I found, has these back in stock to-day!
So, you can see, the place is really styled for me...a supplier, with style is available to help and her hubby is going to do the windows and doors for me. Fix them all, paint throughout, replace knobs etc etc. so, how blessed am I?

Amazing is it not?


Back into the Hardware yards for wood today...
It's just a bit down the road from town, but a quick few mins walk...
Every time I cross the bridge I think of my sister Judy, because she had her profile picture at one time as a blade of these types of reeds!
Lunch today for me was a huge bowl of awesome home made broccoli soup...and a coffee...all up 660ft...about $3.30 Ausd.
This was where poor little dog was living when we took her in the night before Xmas...Those sticks were her little nest.

Bye for now
