My new kitchen bench overlooking living room
My red velvet couch on newly white washed floor boards and my girls on their new swing below

Our front door BEFORE....and AFTER...


Hard to photograph lovely welcome decal by shana murray on my front door


lots of potted succulents

Phew! That was quite a week I had, moving is never easy. My girls finished off the term at their old schools and are looking forward to a whole new adventure next term. We are slowly settling into our little cottage in the woods and I have started taking a few 'after' shots to go with the 'before' ones I tok a while ago. For some reason red seems to be the dominant highlight colour - didn't plan it that way, it just happened. Here we have the before and after shots of our front door - which I gave a fresh lick of bright red paint, my girls enjoying the garden on their new swing and a shot of some more red in the house. I still have piles of pictures to go up and boxes all over but it is taking shape and we are loving it! It is nice to be back on line after being in a telecommunications, reconnection nightmare!

You have a beautiful home. That chair looks so comfy! I have a red velvet armchair and it is one of my favourite things in the world.
