Still feeling extremely tired ( and I may have aged 10 years!) but so happy to be here and finally feeling settled for the first time in a few years. The kids are loving it and even the dog and cat are feeling at home. Poor Charlie our king charles cav went from a small courtyard in our rental to 1/2 an acre so he is pretty much exhausted all day from running around!
We have already started on the front landscaping building a retaining wall along the front and this weekend hope to lay some turf as the dust is already driving me crazy! I think once the garden goes in the house will look so beautiful - she sure is a house that makes you take a second look and has lovely street presence
My new photography studio also opened late last week and is such a gorgeous space to work in - the natural light is just perfect so couldn't be happier. I am super booked until the end of the year so looking forward to working with all my clients in this space
I have had alot of people ask me on instagram and email me on the the colours used for the house so thought I would start on the outside and list them here for you. I just adore the finished result of our colour scheme - it worked so well
Over the next coming weeks I will be blogging and sharing with you the completed rooms in our home so stay tuned :)
