Favourite Things Friday

If you'd like to link up to Favourite Things Friday and share your favourite things pop in your link at the bottom of this post so other people can become looky loos (Thank you Annie for this charming turn of phrase) and  visit you and take a look at your post for this week.

There are always so many fantastic and varied things shared which is the whole point- you share YOUR  favourite thing.  If you haven't had a look check it out.

I have an  confession to make before I share my fave thing for this Friday. Our kitchen is still not quite finished. I know. Is this the longest renovation in the history of forever? Are you all as bored by it as I am? Frankly in my head I've already moved on to the computer room. It'll probably be finished before the kitchen.

So here are the bits still not done. The kitchen window sill still needs to be done. And I have to organise window treatments. Yes that's the patio outside the window and it looks like a demolition bombsite.

I still don't have pantry shelves ....apparently I'll have them by Saturday night. Which is going to be fabulous because I'm pretty much fed up with my linen cupboard doubling as a pantry. It's a mess. And it feels like I have to walk to another suburb to get whatever I need. I've given up. We've spent this week eating Vegemite on weetbix because I can lay my hands on those two things really fast. And the door frame for the pantry needs to be painted. Blue is so not rocking my world  with the other colours in the  kitchen.

And I need that gorgeous door converted to a sliding door and to have mesh riveted behind it so it looks like an actual door. And hung in place. But first it has to be sanded....more. And painted again. And again.

But one thing we have managed to get done this week  is put up my antiquey looking railway clock. And that IS rocking with the feel of the new kitchen. I love it. I bought it months ago and it's been sitting hibernating in bubble wrap in a brown paper bag  just waiting for it's time to shine. Sometimes you just see something and have to have it even though you think  "X$ for that. Too bad . I love it. I'm buying it " So this week since I'm being extremely grateful for small things my clock is my favourite thing. It's up and that's one step closer to really finished.

It's double sided . And really big! And it tells time.

All the finishing touches are going to make this kitchen go from sterile boring blerk to wow awesome fabulous.

Have a Happy Favourite Things Friday. Can't wait to see everyone's treasures for this week.
