Finally! the new garden

After many months of hard work our new pool and back garden were unveiled to our family and friends last Saturday afternoon.  A glorious summer day, a clear blue sky and a light breeze made this event one to remember.
My favourite colour being torquoise, of course the pool is torquoise, the funky retro garden chairs are torquoise, so the decor for the garden party had to be in the same tones.  I first saw these gorgeous pom poms on Steph's brilliant Bondville blog.  I had so much fun making the pom poms, and it was so contagious soon everybody was fluffing up tissue paper decorations.  I also found an excellent site where you can buy kits for making the pom pom decorations.  Ah Tissue and I also love reading Daneve's blog





Lanterns and pom poms



Some crazy pom poms as the pom pom makers were getting out of control with excitment




I think I made this one?



The potted flowers 









These fabulous baskets I purchased in Bali make wonderful table decorations






Two Tulip Chairs 



The very inviting torquoise pool




 Almost time for a refreshment






The pool was built by Metropolitan pools who did a brilliant job, I would definately recommend this company and true to their word they had the pool finished for a splash on Christmas Day.

The funky retro tulip chairs and sun lounges are from Domanye Outdoor Furniture.

Potted flowers are from my very creative friend Maria of Maria's Fresh Flowers.

Cushions are from Kas Australia
