Happy Easter everyone! I am so sorry I haven’t been around much this past week, but I have been so busy (and loving it!). I wake at 4am most mornings ready to bounce out of bed and get going. A change of scenery has definitely motivated me. I am looking forward to the 4 day break though. Having my husband home is very handy. He’s been busy at work all week and I need him here to paint stuff, rearrange furniture, organise the garage (haha!). Lucky he loves me!
Have you ever moved house? I am sure you have. So, you’ll know that when you move suddenly all your furniture is wrong and nothing matches anymore? Yep, that’s what I’m facing. I have been holding on to a heap of furniture, and I sort of knew it wouldn’t fit in the house, but I wanted to keep it just to be sure. This meant that my husband and his mates moved it all here for me… I’ve tried the furniture everywhere in the house and now I need to get rid of it. My husband is doing the “I told you to get rid of it months ago” thing. Goddamn, why is he ALWAYS right? Lucky he laughs at me and doesn’t get angry. Sooooo, this means I am furiously selling stuff, piling things in to corners to donate and some of it is going to the tip. I’ve made extra work for myself (as usual!). Oh, and then to top it off, I decided mid-week that 2 of my children should swap rooms because their furniture would look better swapped over. The kids didn’t care, but I want it to be right! Speaking of kids, did you see my instagram and the wall map mural we put up? I’ll blog that room when I have finished styling it. I am very happy with it!
{See! I have had all of this in storage for 2 years – I need to sell & donate I think!}
Amie is coming over on Sunday and I am dying for her to get here. I need her styling expertise. She bought me this from Freedom too (we don’t have a Freedom shop in Wagga), so I can’t wait to see it. I’ve only ever seen it online, so I hope it’s good. She says it is, and she has good taste (you should see HER house).
I’ve also ordered some wallpaper samples for my entry. I can’t wait to get that going. AND I am still waiting for a piece of glass to be cut for the pallet coffee table I made. I also need a big banner from here to finishing my dining area off. I’ll organise that next week.
But of course, I can’t buy new stuff for my house when I can’t work properly… this leads me to my next complaint! This would only happen to me, but apparently Telstra can’t find some sort of underground pit (that should have been put here by the developer as we are in a new housing subdivision) to connect up my internet. After 500 phone calls, and people not really helping me, I had to buy one of those USB sticks to get some internet. I am sure this problem with Telstra won’t be fixed in a hurry but I need to WORK for money! I have told them this 100 times and hopefully next week they at least tell me what’s happening and how long it will take.
Speaking of working and how a change of scenery gets the creative juices flowing – did you know that The Media Maid’s Blog Academy starts on Monday? I have 20 eager ladies and we all can’t wait to get started. You’ll see me share some of their blogs and I’ll have a hashtag relating to them in my tweets over the coming weeks. I am really excited about it!
On that note, if you want to work with me ie. on this blog or UNDER 100 DOLLARS, I have updated my media kit, so feel free to email me about that. I’ll still be blogging my heart out about the house and how I style it, so I hope you keep coming back to watch it all come together 🙂
Have a great Easter break everyone! I’m not sure if I’ll get back here to blog again until next week, so I hope the Easter Bunny comes to you! X
