Hello world! After taking nearly a year off to adjust to life as a first-time mom in the midst of a pandemic, I’m back with a living room refresh. Here’s what the living room has looked like for the past few years. The rug was the only thing we purchased specifically for the space, and … More Living Room Refresh with Photowall
Welcome to my home! It’s a semidetached English Victorian, and according to the plaque on the front, it was built in 1895 and named Rose Villas. I just call her our Old Victorian though, because that’s the name we used when we first saw her and I guess it stuck. Anyway, Andrew and I have … More Honest Home Tour – English Victorian Terrace House
If there’s one silver lining to being stuck at home under global lockdown, it’s that I finally have the time/desire to share the finished spaces in our home. We moved into our Old Victorian almost a year an half ago, and though I made plans and took lots of photos shortly after moving in, I … More Minimalist Master Bedroom + Baby Corner
I never expected to prepare for a baby amidst a global pandemic – isolated from family and friends, but here we are. With all the chaos going on in the world right now, I’ve been so glad to have a project to focus on, and now I’m excited to share it with you! I’ve always … More Decorating The Nursery With Photowall
Things have been a little quiet around here, but that’s because we’ve been keeping a secret… We’re having a baby! Little bean is due early May 2020, and we’re so excited/nervous to make the leap into parenthood. In the meantime, I’ve been slowly ticking projects off the very long to-do list, and plan to share … More The Next Adventure
Exciting news! I ordered a rug for the living room! I even took measurements of the room before picking a size, so I’m feeling very grown up right now. The old me would see a pretty rug, gasp at the price for the ideal size, and then go for a smaller version. I got away … More Living Room Plan – Decorating On a Budget
Life’s been a little exciting over here lately. I started a new job, we visited our family back in California for Thanksgiving, and oh, we moved 2 weeks ago! Moving is hard work, and I’ve been so busy packing and unpacking that I haven’t had time to fully share my excitement! So let me quickly … More We moved!
I am the kind of person that jumps without thinking. Saying “Yes, let’s do it!” is the easy part, and then later, when it is too late, it dawns on me that maybe this is scary. Maybe I’m not ready for this. Maybe I should have thought it through first. That’s where I’m at right now. … More The Times They Are A-Changin’
This post is dedicated to my fellow renters out there. I see you, living with poor design choices that you didn’t make, and can’t change without risking your security deposit. You stare at perfect homes on pinterest, and dream of customising your own house one day. Well maybe you don’t, but I certainly do. I … More A Renter-Friendly Kitchen Makeover
Out of all the rooms in our house, the bedroom has been the biggest pain to decorate. I’ve faffed around in here for 2.5 years, and it just might be finished now! In my post last week, I shared how I chose that lovely canvas print from Photowall, and this week is all about the … More New & Improved Bedroom Tour
