Home Sweet Home

ByLisa Jayne 



It’s been nearly two months now since we finally completed on our flat. The whole process took around 5 months, which I know might seem quite quick, but we were told it would only be 8 weeks, so it felt pretty long for us! The past two months have been spent packing, unpacking, painting, buying IKEA furniture, and trying to put it together. But now at long last, it’s finally starting to feel a bit more like a home. 




After buying pretty much the whole of IKEA, we finally have all the furniture we need, minus a dining room table. We’re planning on getting one soon, but at the moment there’s still a pile of boxes in the space we want it in that we haven’t got around to unpacking. Oops. I’m pretty excited as we’re now finally at the more decorating stage of the moving process, meaning I can finally buy pretty cushions and things to stick up on the walls, as there all looking a bit plain at the moment! I want to try and do some home crafty things, like knit some cushions or something. I also need to work out some more storagey things, as we don’t have much space in our little flat. 




The whole moving out thing feels a little weird, and I still haven’t got my head around the fact this is ours, still doesn’t quite feel real. Although the sadness of having to pay our own mortgage and bills and has helped. It’s nice to finally have our own place though, and somewhere we can now call home.

    I’ve been blogging for a while now, and now I’m really starting to get into to it, I realised I never wrote about myself really. I was just so eager to start blogging about make up and nail varnish, I never really spoke about myself. I’ve seen this on quite a few blogs, so I…

    This week has been a rather busy week, as you may have gathered from the lack of posts between last weeks update and this one. I started the week out still recovering from the worst cold ever and trying to get back into my gym routine, but by the end of the week I admitted defeat…

    I don’t mean this to sound creepy, but I love looking in other peoples rooms. I’m interested to see how other people decorate their rooms, or use storage etc. Especially at uni where were giving a small plain box room, I like seeing how others make their room seem like home. I moved back home…
