'T' is for Twinings (and also ta - tas)

I'm currently drinking Twinings 'Afternoon Tea' blend as I type this - and  I must say, it is most delicious! In fact, I think you should go and make some tea now. Go on, I'll wait.

So, how has your week been thus far? I hope it's going well. If you're reading this from Sydney, how good was today? I wish I had a non-primitive phone to capture all the amazing weather!

Also, I  wanted to share pictures of this desk I picked up at Ikea for just over $100.00.  The style is similar to that of the Parsons desk - plus, the two ends of the table extend out to form a freakin' four person dining table! Yeah, I know - did you just piss your pants too?

 Now, I'm just looking for the perfect, odd-bod upholstered chair for it.

I'm schicky! And I'm weak! This is what poor, schicky me has been downing all weekend:

Anyway, onto more pressing matters. I want a small white desk for my room! Preferably, a desk that I can place my lap top  on whilst I sit and twiddle my thumbs etc.

I love the famous West Elm's 'Parsons' desk. The design is so classic and timeless. But I can't seem to find a similar cheap one here in Sydney - so I'm thinking I might get the 'Parsons Mini' directly from West Elm in America for $200.00 (Incidentally, West Elm now ships to Australia, although they have delivery restrictions on 'oversized' furniture. Not sure whether the "mini" desk would constitutue 'oversized furniture'). 

Post Edit: Turns out that they can in fact ship the desk to Australia, but it will incur $234.00 in shipping costs - more than the desk itself!

Still, it's really tempting...

DIY delicious!

I've been in a bit of a funk of late. I've had a stinkin' fever and some even stinkier commercial law assignments. To add, my room is also a total mess. My mum is going to crack it when she finds out that I've posted an actual photograph of said mess ("Are you proud of that?" And in case I didn't already know the answer, she quickly answers "Don't be proud of that").

Anyway, I did a $7.00 makeover with sample pot of paint. The yellow is delicious "warm buttercup" by Dulux.

Ah, this shit just makes me smile.
