Jon & I tend to be a bit nomadic you see – well I suppose its more me – I didn’t leave home until I was 25 and until then I’d always lived in that one house, my parents never moved.
But since moving out at 25, I’ve lived in a total of 5 different homes.
Jon & I have moved house 5 times in the space of 4 years – we’ve lived in 4 different cities during that time.
I don’t know what it is but I never feel settled – I guess there’s always been some factor involved that meant we needed to choose a house quickly, and so the places we’ve lived have never been perfect – there’s always been one factor or another that I didn’t like.
So I wanted this move to be to somewhere we would want to stay.
And we found it in this house.
I love this house – it’s big with loads & loads of storage space, it has an outdoor area for the children to play in, it has a garage, it was newly refurbished so we were the first to use the kitchen and bathroom which made it feel like a new house but with the added size benefits & character of an older house. It has a sea view. Its in a seaside town that I love. There are nice schools close by.
It was ideal.
And so, because I felt more settled here, I wanted to make it my “dream home” and decorate it just as I want it.
Most things are about 75% finished – the childrens rooms were priority and they’re done, the garden is done now too as of today, and the only other room we’ve finished is my bedroom.
My dream bedroom.
I love grey & white – I find it so relaxing so its the perfect colour scheme for my bedroom. It’s bright and airy, the huge bay window really makes it feel like an open space which I love.
I have plenty of storage in there for my ridiculous amount of clothes and “stuff”.
Jon upcycled the tattered old mahogany with cream inset & gold handles wardrobes to white wash with grey insets and diamante handles.
I have a dressing table area which is handy and it’s nice to have one little space in the house that’s just for me – free from little toy trains or kids books dotted about!
I’m looking forward to getting the rest of the house completed but for now I`m thoroughly enjoying my dream bedroom.
