How would you feel stepping into one of your favorite shops and being welcomed with 50% discount on everything? Yep. Today was a good day. My Shop on Ledra Street, I love you! I mean, 50 euros for that wall clock? Seriously? I also grabbed four gorgeous melamine Rice plates and a jam makers set, which I intend to use within the next few days. I hope. Oh, by the way check out my little dude’s new espradilles. 12 euros, Next Baby.
When the call came down the line that my bathroom and pantry handmade Italian floor tiles were here, I did my little dance and sang oh happy day! Aren’t they gorgeous? Hopefully by the end of next week they’ll be in place.
Have a super great fabulous weekend!xxx
After seeing the house today and the freshly painted outside walls I decided I am excited enough to show you a few sneak peeks. This is the view from the living room… View from the opposite side – back into the living room. Thought I should give you a good idea about how high our ceilings are! It was one of the few things I was 100% sure I wanted to see everyday. Then, we have a sample of the brickwork for decorating outside…and inside! And it just keeps getting better…x
This past week I have come so close to going crazy, I swear it’s not even funny. Last night I couldn’t sleep(never happens to me!) and yesterday I was convinced my favorite maxi dress was washed, ironed and ready to be worn, when in fact it was so deep in the laundry basket I worried I wouldn’t be able to get rid of the creases. I had turned my wardrobe upside down, which meant that i was left sans maxi dress and a whole lotta mess. The reason for my recent state of mind is the house we are building. Oh my! Have you ever attempted to renovate or build from scratch? If you have then you understand. This is my dream home I keep telling those who say I should enjoy the adventure. It’s no time for adventures. I need to get it 1000% right! Everything needs to be perfect. I want to look at it everyday and marvel. But how do I really know what is perfect? I see something. i like it. easy, right? not when you have a million choices and happen to like a lot of things. This-liking a lot of stuff- is my main problem, my friend believes. I should narrow down what i like. Still, deciding on what color I want my house to be, what tiles go in the bathroom, if I want a wooden staircase or a marble one or what type of wood i prefer in my walk-in-wardrobe (oh yes!) or choosing between a classic or modern touch is just too much for me. I know there are people with serious problems out there but this house is costing a lot of money and I need to be careful when making thousands of euros worth of choices. This is it. We’re nearing the finish line and finally able to give Georgie a beautiful home with a garden and decisions need to be made.
