Feeling uplifted and worn out at the same time

Worked at Bookkeeping office today. The people are really friendly and the office has a casual, relaxed vibe which I'm really grateful for. This is my second week and so, far is 2 days a week. I hope it picks up to 3 days a week. Fingers crossed.

Found it difficult to get my backside out of bed this morning to do a workout but managed to motivate myself this afternoon by picturing myself in a wedding dress.......looking fantastic!

I'm feeling worn out now but it's a good feeling. It feels like I'm actually achieving something and my life is moving forward.

I am really into the nesting mode and have been reading lots of blogs on decorating and entertaining. In particular the Pepper Design blog and Young House Love blog. I can't wait to get into our new home and start entertaining (our unit is too small) and decorating. I'm thinking of getting some practice in with just setting our little 2 seater table for dinner. This is our dining area..........

Entrance table...........

And storage in the entrance at the opposite end to the dining table............

As you can see, it needs A LOT of work to get it presentable, The entrance is actually an enclosed patio but I think that it could look somewhere between ok and decent if I put in some effort.

This is the plan:

• Put shoe rack into garage and put commonly used shoes into some sort of container to go under the hall table or to the side of the door.
• Get a secondhand curtain/calico and hang to cover storage.
• Put nicer decorations on top of hall table (not sure what yet).
• Get/make slipcovers for chairs (may be a little ambitious but what the hey).
• Ditch black iron candle holder thing on the wall for 3 pictures.
• Hang new curtains near dining table.
• Put floor lamp in the garage.
• Clear out the clutter.

Stay tuned for updated photos.
