the move - part 2

hello there, welcome to the new house, come in, are you ready for a cup of tea and a look round?



I spent yesterday cleaning and tidying, all ready for your visit, so here goes for some before and after scenes.



first and the most important room of the house, the kitchen, not looking it's best, but the teapot is out and in use already.



and ta-da, the boxes are gone! the kitchen was my favourite room in our old house, especially after the months we spent without one, so I was really sad to leave it. This one is great too though, and I love the huge window.



E's room next, now this is tidy for him, look no lego everywhere yet.....



and all set up, just out of shot is the lego display area! This room has probably been painted the most recently and is least shabby. shame it's a rather girlie peach colour, it will have to go......


and a finished shot of Miss K's room, sparkly and colourful, and bulging with bookshelves...


here's where it gets exciting though, the plans for the house call this room the study



but it only takes two changes of letters to make that into studio



it's such a joy to have a space of my own. and I've even finished a project in it!

p.s. Freddie was thrilled to have made so many fans yesterday, and look he has a partner in crime, Sheila's cat is also one for sleeping in unusual spots. xxx

  1. 'Ohhhhh' I've just sat down with my mug of tea - thanks for the invite, don't mind if I do have a little nose around!

    It's lovely and that window is definitely a winner.

    Have a lovely day,

  4. How lovely lovely lovely. And is it fair that I'm jealous of your kitchen? However I'm very pleased you've managed to sort it - that's the bit that seemed to take the longest when we moved

  6. Thank you so much for the welcome! What a gorgeous house. I love the kitchen and especially that window and all the cupboards. But whoohoo - a studio just for you and a project already finshed! I am full of admiration. Have lots of fun in your new nest and thanks for profiling Max.

  7. Thank you, that cup of tea was most refreshing. I just wish you'd given me a larger piece of that tasty sweet stuff that accompanied it. I suppose I'll have to drown my sorrows in leftover plum cake. Maybe I could have your flowery mug to make up for the slight?

    Hate to be a copycat, but that KITCHEN!!! Actually, I love the windowy-ness of the whole house, and those great deep windowsills. And your fab little studio! Sigh. Congrats!! xoxo

  19. The kitchen looks great -- I love the window - and a studio! I think it's hard to move, but at least you're not too far away. And a beach makes up for a lot.
