signed and sealed

So we signed the flat lease yesterday and are moving in the beginning of December. I can't wait! The husband can. But whatever. I have big plans (and little ones) for our new place, so roll on December!

You might have seen some of the images before, but bear with me cause they are the inspiration for our new place.

I want my chairs, coffee table, and sofa close together to make the lounge space look cosy and intimate.

I want to use white, sheer curtains in the lounge. So not a fan of lined, heavy curtains.

I'm also thinking of painting the window frames black. Right now they are a beige colour, which just looks dirty against the white walls.

Want to put in rubber flooring in the kitchen, which currently has fugly orange and brown linoleum flooring.

The bathroom also a hideous marbled grey floor, so I'm thinking black and white rubber or vinyl checkered tiles.

The bathroom has one of those horrible bathroom cabinets with a mirror, but I wanna take it put and replace it with a large round mirror.

baby and bicycle

When/if I ever have a baby, I would love us to cruise around the neighbourhood like this.

future home must-have

This may just be the perfect kitchen nook. The large windows, the sun filtering in, the view... Very nice.

no termites or wood borers allowed

I'm liking double-storey wooden houses lately.

growing the brand (part 2)

I really am quite serious about this opening my own shop thing. I just need to find a space and win the lottery. I know I said I wanted it to look like Der Kleine Salon, but now I think I want it to look like Mohawk General Store. I know, they couldn't look more different. But I promise I don't have multiple personalities.

le petit bébé

I visited a friend today who has an adorable 7-month-old baby boy. I love babies - they are so warm and squeezable. Sigh. One day...

P.S. Yes, I do know they get bigger and less cute, just like puppies and kittens.
