DD's Room

 I managed to get a few photos of DD's room this morning before I ran out of the door. DD's room is the first we are planning to decorate, I've always wanted to give her a nice room to enjoy and it's wonderful that now I can!

DD has requested a Princess room. I've been collecting ideas on Pinterest for a while in preparation so I have a fair few good ideas to try in here. Job one is removing the paper boarder, and job two will be painting the walls.

 I'm planning to have the walls a candy floss shade of pink as its such a light room I want to keep that. The window sill, radiator, doors and woodwork will be a hot pink. Then I can add in a princess theme with curtains and accessories etc. I know how quickly DD can change her obsessions so if in a month time she likes Hello Kitty it would be easy to "redecorate" the room in her new craze.
 The carpets are pretty new so I don't to change them but I am going to look out for a nice rug idea.

 Feel free to follow me on Pinterest and see what I've already pinned as ideas, and feel free to add your own :)

Slow and steady wins the race

We're settling into our new pad quite happily at the moment.  A few small hiccups here and there as the tenants before us don't seem to have much consideration for others. But I won't winge because I'm to happy!!!
  All the dull day to day essentials are in place and we are well on track to being completely moved by Sunday evening. 
  My step towards self sufficiency today has been starting some tomato seeds. I picked up a kit in Wilkos on my way past this morning for 75p.
I will now be watching them like a hawk for signs of sprouting.
