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.
