Here are 5 egg-ceptional ideas for Easter eggs decoration. They are actually very easy and do not require any special skills. They make a great gifts, or table centrepieces. Follow the link for details instructions.

1. Blue colored egg shell filled with homemade chocolate, from Martha Stewart. To make project easier you can simply use a cooking chocolate of your favourite type.






2. Tie-dye and tissue-paper Eggs from Miyspirit via Now Public. Super easy and super cool eggs!








3. Dyed Paper Stickers Eggs from Home Life. This is a perfect kids project. But check how lovely the eggs look.







4. Washi Eggs from eckersleys. Another paper decorated eggs. Like all Japanese crafts it requires some precision. But they are still easy to do.





5. Button Eggs from Dot Com Women. Don't they look like a cute version of Faberge eggs?!

Project of the Month - March 2

Just finished work at this Bronte penthouse. It was more then just a regular painting job – we removed & disposed old decorated cornices and skirtings throughout, re-rendered walls were cornices were, and painted the penthouse inside out.

Project of the Month - March 1

This is another weekend job in the office building – this time in Parramatta. All walls were painted white. Obviously, such painting job can only be done when carpark is empty. So for everyone’s convenience we scheduled it to the weekend. 3 levels were completely painted in 2 days!

"Kilimanjaro for Ovarian Cancer Cure" completed

Thanks from the bottom of our harts to all people who supported and sponsored our “Kilimanjaro for Ovarian Cancer Cure” event!

We just returned from the expedition, still exhausted. We both made it to the top (just!). Honestly, if it was not for the charity and we did not get supprt of so many people we would quit few hundred meters before the summit. (I know it sounds like a cliché, but it is very much try!) The air is just so thin here! But our pain and tidiness will pass. We are so happy we made to the summit. Thanks everyone for supporting our cause and giving us this extra motivation!

I’ll set up a slideshow to report back to all our sponsors & supporters. But in a meantime I’ll share with you some of my favourite pictures from the expedition.
