New

 

The past few weeks have been hectic as we have been working hard redecorating our bedroom. What was supposed to only be an easy weeks work turned out to be a complete overhaul.
Our bedroom hadn't been decorated for nearly 10 years, was a very bright pink and certainly needed updating. Poor Dan has lived in a pink bedroom for nearly 4 years!

We decided on a green colour scheme with cream accents. The carpet and curtains are beautiful and look lovely against the green walls. We replaced our bed (thank goodness!) and added a beautiful antique mirror and found a new chair at a local vintage shop.

We decided to store a lot of the things from our shelves, keeping out only our DVD collection (far too important to put away!) and a few books that we hadn't yet read/finished, making our shelves free for photographs and keepsakes.

Our bedroom is now so peaceful and tranquil, far from the busy and vibrant state it was in before. It took weeks but was well worth it :)

What a day. Breakfast in the garden. Playing nicely. Canons Ashby - what an adventure! Clotted cream tea after lunch. Buying a stack books from the second hand bookshop. Salad was all we could muster for dinner on a day like today. Finding a vintage/antique shop on my street and buying a chair for our nearly finished bedroom... perfect!

Bank Holiday Weekend

What a way to spend a long weekend.
Prepping the bedroom for decorating, unfortunately the plaster work was just atrocious so we need to wait for Grandad to come back from his holiday until we can make any progress.
Indulging in special breakfasts, home made croissants and McClymont McMuffins.
Shopping for Papa, a new suit and shirts and ties so he looks the part for his fantastic new job.
Lots of time spent out of doors, in the garden, in the fields and a late afternoon picnic in the meadow, Papa's first time.
