Ever since we bought our first home last September, I have
become obsessed with interiors and interior design and making a blank canvas
into something homely and has our identity stamped all over it.
Looking back, my love for interiors probably goes back to
2015 when we were living in a flat, with it being rented it meant there were
quite a few restrictions of what we could and couldn’t do which is quite tricky
but I am so glad I can go OTT with my ideas now.
We are extremely fortunate to have moved into a new build
and have been part of the process since before a brick or concrete and even
been laid. It was so exciting that we got to choose what tiles we wanted in the
bathrooms, what flooring we wanted and the combination of kitchen cupboards and
the worktop. For me, the exciting part of it all was once we had moved in and
got the furniture in the correct places (that was pretty stressful – well apart
from the flat packs, I am a bit of a dab hand at them). The best bit was to
play house and add those little accessories to give it our personality giving
you that warm fuzzy feeling – oh and an empty bank account I might add.
Even though we have
been living in the house for around 10 months now there is still so much more
to do, we are nowhere near finished and I don’t think you will ever be as there
is always something you want to change or to add. For starters we don’t even
have our wardrobe finished in our main room as we just don’t have a clue on the
style we want.
However, I thought it was about time that I shared a few
snippets of my favourite parts of my house, I don’t think I’ll ever share it
all, some parts you want to keep personal and private but I will certainly share
with you most parts. I for one am a huge fan of scrolling blog posts, Pinterest
and Instagram for inspiration, much to Martyn’s despair.
The irony is, as I am writing this blog post, my house has
been turned upside down after trying to transport a huge wardrobe upstairs
after we purchased it in the Next sale at the weekend. Life lesson of the week
... if you buy furniture in the sale and they are ex display you have to
collect them yourself oh and they are fully built too.
When you moved home, did you find a love for interiors too?
