Getting there...

Slowly, but surely, life is getting back to normal around here.  I think I am pretty much fully recovered now, but have a dose of the 'doing too much, too soons', so am a little bit sore.  Thank you so much for all the well wishes!  Your comments were great pick-me-ups when I really needed them.

Of course, just about every room in the house is nearly done, so there are no awesome reveals to show, but here is a sneak peak of a few bits and pieces for you.

No photos in the bottom row yet.  Also need something for the top of the buffet.  
I love this spot, though - we'll get there!
Little Girl's Book Corner.  She also uses this spot for rocking out to her favourite song - 'Usher! Usher!'
Big Girl's workspace
Have a lovely week, everyone!

Reconnected

Well, we're back in the land of the blogging!  Our internet was connected very quickly, which certainly makes a lot of things easier (namely, work!).

We have moved in to the house, albeit with just concrete under our tootsies!  The carpet has been scheduled for installation on Wednesday, and the flooring should arrive on Friday.  Having said that, Carpet Call has not returned any of our calls nor e-mails since last Tuesday, so it remains to be seen whether or not laying/delivery will, indeed, occur.  Suffice to say, we won't be call, call, calling the 'experts in the trade' ever again.  Neither will any of our friends.

Anyhoo, all that rubbish aside, we have enjoyed the first few days in the house.  I love the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry particularly.  Ha, you can tell where I spend most of my time!!!  The Great Room is also feeling more spacious WITH the furniture in, which I love.

It has been crazy busy around here, with lots of projects on the go.  Here are a couple of teasers...

Big Girl's Room

Little Girl's Room.  We started off strong, but haven't made any progress in the last five days!!!!
Without a floor, we have been unable to unpack to much, let alone style ANYTHING at all, so these photos will have to do you for a while.

Hopefully, I'll be able to share some pics later in the week.  Have a great one!!

A gorgeous little girl's room

Yesterday, I came across this gorgeous wallpaper.

Laura Ashley - Summer Palace Duck Egg

Our little girl (3) fell in love with it, and it is now the 'jumping off point' for her new bedroom.  Here are a couple of photos with the wallpaper up against our wallpaper and a couple of accessories that she already has.




I'm feeling a bit excited, and scared, but I think it will look amazing!

In house news, the builder has erected the lovely green silt-catching material around the block.  Hopefully we can have a dry weekend and the plumbing and drainage can commence on Monday.  Positive, positive, positive!

Have a great weekend!
