So much space
15. September 2010
I didn’t move any furniture, painted walls or bought new things. I did browse all my favourite online shops at least once a day, filled the basket but never went to the checkout. Instead I went through all our drawers and filled box after box with things that we just don’t need. And these things either went straight to the trash can or I sold them on eBay. I sold or gave away half the clothes I had. And although I nearly only made space in our drawers and inside our closets, it feels as if there was so much more space in our living room.
There’s definitely so much more to do. Like this cable on the floor you can see in the picture above. It’s the cable for the TV in our bedroom and we wanted to fix this for nearly one year now, but there was always something that had been more important or more urgent. If I can keep it up with the cleaning and “curing” of our home, I don’t think we’ll have many excuses left to still postpone it. :)
Something I hadn’t done for quite a while as well: Just watching TV, drinking tea and lightning some candles, just because I couldn’t enjoy sitting in our living room. I really missed it.
(Do you actually sometimes click through my Flickr photostream? I sometimes feel a bit strange to always post the same pictures here and over there at flickr, so this time I uploaded another two pictures of our living room. Visit me there. :))
Cushion Addict
14. May 2010
Some collect stamps, others shoes. I collect cushions. Lots of cushions. And when I’m really honest to myself, I’m not collecting them, I’m addicted to cushions. I had a day off today and wanted to go window shopping and maybe just buying some small things, but I ended up buying five new cushion covers.
Bei 5 Euro pro Hülle konnte ich aber auch wirklich nicht Nein sagen.
But seriously, they cost 5 EUR each. How could I NOT buy them? (I’m actually thinking I should have bought more than five – crazy me!)
And I bought some flowers for our living room. And started to cut into the Nicey Jane fabrics in order to start a new patchwork. I don’t know if it’s only going to be for cushion covers (of course) or if I’ll make a whole new quilt, but it’s always good to make a start.
Furthermore we decided to have our kitchen have a make over. This is going to be such a lot of work, but since I spent more than half a year now thinking of but not really having the heart to renovate the kitchen, we now just made the decision. It will be a complete make over with new floors and new colour on the walls and new kitchen shelves and a new table and I’m so looking forward to it when it’s finished. I’ve got quite a concrete plan and vision. Nevertheless I’m really scared because it is just SO much work. Maybe I’ll post a plan and some pictures of what’s in my mind.
Welcome home, Nicey Jane!
11. April 2010
My Nicey Jane order arrived a few days ago and I just placed another order, since the fabrics are just as gorgeous as on the pictures. Here’s what I’ve done so far with the fabrics:
The cushion in the front has a crocheted trim, inspired by rose hip’s great work!
