Slowly settling in

By Anonymous -





I am so enjoying settling into our new home one room at a time. Today I sorted out our bedroom a little bit more. It feels so good to be able to bang nails in where ever I like after renting for so long. What our little cottage lacks in size it makes up for in character and it has been fun finding the right space for our things in this new home. We are surrounded by trees and as it is the middle of winter here the shots are a little gloomy but also rather cosy. My very clever husband has been doing all the lighting in our new place - including these lovely twine hanging side lamps. I do feel a little more settled now that I have sorted out my dressing table : )

I have a small home as well and it definitely makes up for it in personality. You've added your own warm touches to the space and it looks just like a home should look-- cozy and inviting.

That looks so cosy - love the bunting and the picture rails. I also live in a tiny house but I love it and it does stop you hoarding junk and clothes!

Hello, I love the dressing table. We also live in a tiny house in inner-city. It can be lovely and snuggly. Your new home looks wonderful and living amongst the woods sounds perfect. xx

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
