The Darling Den – Better pictures of it all!
On Saturday, we went back to our new house to get some measurements and so my sister could see first hand the area that we will be working with. My sister and I have a fair amount in common and one of those our huge love of interior designs (We both wish we could do a course in it!). While I was there, I took some pictures of all of my area, and thought i’d show them here as they show off my area better. Above is the door that leads into my parents section of the house. My area has it’s own double sliding doors that lead out to…

Holding on and letting go.
It will be weird to say goodbye to a house that feels like part of the family, I moved in to it when I was around 5, I don’t have many memories from before this house. This is the house I lived in all through my school years. The front yard was where Kylie and I would twirl around and round in circles and then colapse to the ground on. The first pool is where Kylie and I would go on adventures involving mermaids and underground doors leading to places that only held burgers. That pool had to be replaced because our dog King loved the water so much, he…

The Darling Den – My Bedroom!
The power of dodgy photoshop! Above is a little mock up of how I DREAM my bedroom shall look. This is what the listing picture looks like. My main colours will be white, black and silver. I’ve been debating between pink or aqua accent colours. The far wall will be a feature black & white striped wall, with a super huge photo of Frodo and I. The rest will be white. I’m going to see about silver paint to do the trimmings. I’m not sure what will be happening with the carpet. I need to figure out curtains too & bedspreads. I have one doona cover and it’s bugging me, but…

New house & a poll!
I’ve mentioned in passing that we are moving, the ‘we’ being my parents and I. It’s a bit of a mixed reaction, I am very excited about the move and the fact that the place we are moving to will give me my indipendence with a sort-of granny flat. Sad though, because the house we are moving from is the house I grew up in. I’ve lived here since I was around 4, it has a lot of memories. It is, however WAY to be, it’s tri-level, with a pool, and the stairs are bit too much for my parents as they are getting older. This is the house we…

Inside my room – The Rest!
I figured I should finish off my room tour! I’ve been back around 8 months and I think this is as clean as it will ever be. Can you believe I still have about 10 full boxes still! Yeah, going from having your own home to one (very large) room is not easy! I’ve made do, and I’m just happy to have a roof over my head. I’m lucky to have great parents who let me move back home at 25! So, my room is the ‘rumpus room’ of the house. It’s large, brick walled and has a VERY high ceiling. It has a set of stairs to get down…
