Better Homes & Gardens Live

Well my trip to see BHG live was definitely worth while.

 We had a wonderful day out, although my guest list dropped off a little. It only ended up being myself, my mum & dad & my 3yr old daughter, the others all got what they thought was a better offer!

I had 7 tickets so I gave the 4 spare tickets to some people out the front before we went in as I didn't want them to go to waste.

There was an enourmous amount of exhibits to explore & everyone working on them was extremely helpful.

Mya had a wonderful day, she painted & played & ate her way thru the exhibits, sampling lollies, chocolate, popcorn & whatever people offered her really!!!

There where a lot of live shows from the BHG team but having a pram meant you couldn't really get close enough to see what was going on, but I'm sure they where great.

I did catch a snippet of Tara  doing a demonstration & I have to say, she is even more gorgeous in real life than she is on TV.

I was a little disappointed that there where only 4 rooms set up on display to inspire us.

They where decorated by an online company called

Connect Furniture

Connect Furniture has a collection of over 1000 diverse & unique furniture providers

You just type in what your looking for  & it will bring up a pile of choices

You are then able to purchase online & your lovely new piece will arrive within 14 days

Now that makes shopping easy!!!

One of the suppliers for Connect Furniture is

Vavoom Emporium

They decorated this space for BHG live

love the venetian mirror

& the corbusier chaise lounge

this mirrored buffet was just gorgeous

so where the Metropolis trunks.

I would love to hear what others thought of the day, I hope everyone had a great time!

inspirational Designs for the weekend

I am looking forward to a wonderful & inspiring weekend as we head off to The Better Homes & garden Live show on Saturday!

I must extend a big "THANK YOU" to Jenny from

 The Five Year Project

who kindly donated the tickets.

 My mum has purchased the BHG magazine for as long as I can remember, which is great for me. I read her copy all the time & that means one less magazine for me to purchase each month!!

( My name is Trish & I am a magazine addict! )

I can definitely blame my parents for my decorating bug, as my entire life they have been serial renovators. They have always purchased older homes, renovated them, sold up & moved onto the next one.
Now they have a brand new home that they had built 5 years ago & guess what....

they are even renovating this one,

 adding an outdoor entertainment area, building a large walk in storage cupboard, an extra kitchen pantry & now they are fitting out there study with some built in desks & cupboards.

You can never have to much storage!!!

I think this weekend will be a blast, my seven yr old son is looking forward to seeing Dr Harry & has a question about training his dog prepared, just in case he gets to talk with him...

Very cute!!!

Are any of you lovely bloggers attending ?

If you are interested in meeting & saying Hi, email me. It would be wonderful to say my blog friends are real humans, LOL, not just cyber pals!!!

CHEERS
