Hello!

So here I am again, still so very very busy, but trying to get back to my usual routine.

We moved to a new home, and we are still adjusting to our new place, and unpacking... Our living room is more of a packing room rather than an actual living room, filled with boxes with our belongings still needing to find their final place...

But we are so very happy with our new little home! We have a small backyard, which does need some work done, but it's a great place to our little one to run around.... And as always, I find myself already thinking about it's great potential ...  and minor projects! All this to my other's half despair, as usually some of the heavy work will fall into his shoulders. But, I can't wait to get my hands dirty and get gardening and planting! It's a lovely way to play with my little one too, and I find myself already imagining teaching him how how to plant, seed...!

We still have loads to do around our new home, mostly rearranging the furniture around until both of us are happy with the final look. However we did find some free time to explore our new surroundings:

We are living near a major urban park! This park occupies the margin of a river, and has some great views...!
We had lot's of fun watching swans, ducks.... It's a great place for our little one to run around and, as it has several playgrounds, theres a lot for him to explore.

As I have lotttssss of free time, also I have also decided to sign up for the 7th textile ATC hosted by the lovely Very Berry, and so I have to  think about a new little textile card... I will let you know how this goes, I already have a lot of ideas, and some inpired by this post! I am really excited about the opportunity to read all about how the other card swapers are going about this new swap. The possibilities are infinite!

Hope my next blog post won't take as long as this one to go live ....
oh, the joys of moving!

 

Friday´s Thoughts: And we are moving!

These last few days have been quite hectic....

We had bad news and  some really good news ...!

First the bad news, as our current landlord decided to sell our flat, we were forced to do some house hunting. We absolutely love our current apartment, so these were really bad news to us. We live in a lovely neighbourhood, in a excellent location, as we are both close to our current jobs and the nursery... So we were pretty disappoint with this news. The current house market is crazy, we were viewing some houses which rent was exorbitant, and were not that special. Lets say that finding the perfect house, which fitted our needs and with an acceptable rent was  was really difficult.

Good news, we finally we found the perfect house, and will be moving next month!

That said, my mind at the moment is swirling with decoration ideas, to my other´s half despair. 

The house that we´ll be moving into has been  loved and well taken care, it´s painted with some lovely colours, which is rare for the UK as normally houses normally just feature Magnolia tones.

So both dinning room and reception room are painted with earthly tones which I quite like, and will go nicely with my furniture. I am just not so sure about the master bedroom which is painted with this strong navy blue...

The rest of the house has Magnolia tones, so no news there.

Anyway, the navy blue room has got me into Pinterest craze, as I am looking for some ideas to decorate around it. I found some really pretty rooms, walls navy blue and lovely white furniture and small features of either orange, pink, yellow. I am lucky though, as my bedroom furniture is indeed white, now I do have to convince my other half about the pops of colour...

Via Better homes and gardens.

This pop of orange makes a difference!

This is such a colourful room, even with the strong navy as a major feature, still feels so lively!

Before finding our next home, I was thinking about how my dream bedroom would be, and I was going for a  dark colour palette, featuring some pops of yellow. I was going for grey and not navy blue though...

I found wall-art inspirations while searching for my past bedroom ideas:

My projects list just keep increasing... I still want to paint some of these! 

Just wondering if these will go nicely with the navy blue though....
