The weekend edition #1

Over the weekend we had some beautiful weather so thought we would make the most of it and go out for the day with Maisie our pup. Life gets so hectic with work and doing up the house at the moment so it was nice to take a day off to ourselves. Firstly we started off with some brunch, and it was delicious!



Of course this was mine - maple syrup and bacon pancakes!

We then took Maisie on a long walk in the countryside, it was so nice to get out in the fresh air and walk off brunch.

On our way back we came across the most beautiful gardens, we are just making a start on our new garden and this is major inspiration. We are planning to go for a country garden as we live right out in the country now. There will be a blog post to follow! This is the first of my weekend edition and I thought I would start doing these on a regular basis to show you what we get up to. I personally love seeing what other people do in their spare time and being nosy. Hope you are enjoying my blog posts, would love to hear your thoughts and what your favourite post has been so far :)

Living room transformation

As soon as we moved house we decided to start decorating the living room as we wanted at least one room where we could sit and feel like we were at home. We moved house in November so we didn't have much time to decorate before Christmas but soon after moving we arranged for a plasterer to come over and plaster over the ceilings and so the process began!



Just before we were about to decorate!

Once all the plaster was dry the next mission was painting the room - I was able to help more with this part, we chose a duck egg blue colour for the walls and decided on a feature wall with wall paper from Laura Ashley (my fave) We also painted the ceilings in a cream colour and added white coving, this meant the coving stood out more. Neither of us had done decorating like this before so I think we underestimated how long it would take!

The next step was to lay down the wood flooring which I absolutely love, we brought this whilst it was in the sale from homebase and it was a real bargain. My dad helped Rob with this as he had never done it before. My mum and I popped to the town and when we got back half of the room was done so it went down pretty quickly! The overall effect of the wood flooring was amazing and made such a difference to the room, we instantly loved it.

 

I will include some pictures now with the room completed, we are still waiting for a chair to arrive for the corner and I also plan on hanging up a big picture of our wedding day. Overall I am really happy with the room and it is so cozy in the evenings when we draw the curtains and put the candles on.

Of course I couldn't forget Maisie

.....Or Missy!
