With a baby in the house, everyday is laundry day.

This is our new old bedroom. The walls are newly painted from sunshine yellow to light olive green and, as you can see, quite empty at the moment. We also got new floors which brings out the lightness in the room. I love white!

My bedside lamp needs a new cap and I have just the right fabric for it; a project I hope to tackle next week.

Can't be bothered to change the curtains yet as I'm fine with the light yellow for now, but I definitely want to have something different for later.



I'm so happy with this new look. I love the wall paint and the off-white floors. And I love my new sheets.

The walls are wallpapered, the few pieces of furniture are assembled.. so basically, the BIG things are done in this small and pretty room. Hurray!



There will still be a few knick-knacks to hang on the walls like those framed images on the commode, perhaps a shelf with hooks, but I couldn't be bothered with them now. I'm just basking in joy that the important things are already taken cared of. It's such a relief! Now I can concentrate on the rest of the house that needs to be worked on (like our bedroom and the hallways) and, preparing for and enjoying this Christmas holiday.



I'm so in love with her room. Can you tell? It's so pretty and pink and girly. It has now become my happy room. I hope she doesn't turn out to be a boy because he would have to deal with a pink room and clothes until we move in to a new house and we get to buy him baby boy things. That would be quite a story to tell. Haha!

I have quite a few projects to tackle as soon as Christmas is over. There will be lots of sewing for baby blankets and fabric essentials for her cradle which was originally Mike's. In the meantime, I'm trying to finish this crochet granny square blanket for her room. I only have to make a few more squares and connect them, and I can move on to making one for the living room. It's going to be a fun and busy winter for me.

Spring has sprung!

*The plant is a Campanula. Don't know which variety though.

I can't resist not to take this picture as I sat in my corner earlier tonight. I know I changed our living room again for the nth time but I just wasn't satisfied with the old settings. Remember this? I did about four changes after that before I settled for this one. When we finally took apart the love seat, I went gaga moving the furnitures around trying to find the perfect spot for everything. Then I had a thought of switching the dining and sitting areas to see if it works, and I think it's perfect. It's still a work in progress but we are loving the space we have right now. And, oh, am I currently obsessed with white and oil cloths.

Since I switched from desktop to laptop, I no longer have the problem of being stuck with a permanent desk. I love the mobility and I noticed that I get more things done. My productivity has increased and it got me back into writing. I'm just really inspired and happy with the house right now. Though there's still a lot that needs to be done, it is becoming more homely and more us.
