When we moved into our newly renovated house, after 7 months living with my parents while the build was in progress, one of the first areas I wanted to get organised and ready were the kids' bedrooms. I knew that moving was enough of an upheaval and uncertain time for them, so I really wanted them to feel settled and happy in our new home from the get-go. Today I'm sharing how I set up both their bedrooms - decluttered, organised and decorated - over the course of 3 days...
Well friends, I'm excited to report that we have finally moved back into our newly renovated home! If you've been following along on our whole renovating journey, you'd know just how much work we've put in to get to this stage, and although we still have a lot of work ahead, it is amazing to officially be back in our home.
If you've had to move house numerous times or have been through the whole building/renovating process, you would know just how full-on it is - chaotic, fun, messy, stressful, exciting, exhausting, thrilling! It sends you through a real roller-coaster of emotions. Looking back over the whole time, I have to admit there are many things that we could have done more efficiently, that I would do differently if I had my time over. Today, I'm sharing my thoughts on the whole moving process - the ups, the downs, and the reality that might be of some help to those of you planning a move, build or renovation any time soon.
If you're searching for the perfect storage solution for a trouble-spot in your home, it might be time to start thinking 'outside the box'. When it comes to finding a cheap but effective storage solution, sometimes the perfect item or product is something you would never have considered for that particular space. Try looking around your home for existing items to repurpose and use as storage elsewhere. It'll save you money and give you the added benefit of organisation! Why not try one of these unusual but effective ideas to get things more organised in your home?
Do you have a whole lot of visual clutter around your TV unit? Is a pile of annoying cords collecting dust, and making the whole area look messy and cluttered? Today, I'm doing a mini-makeover of a TV unit and sharing some easy tips for how to organize cords behind a TV unit, in order to create a more organised and neat looking space.
Well friends, it's been exactly 6 months since our renovation started, and I think it's safe to say that we are nearly ready to move back into our new home. So exciting! It's been quite a while since I've given you all an update, so today I'll be showing you around our abode - both the exciting new parts, and the not-so-great mess in the rest of the house. Nothing good in life comes easy, right? So although we've got quite a lot of work still ahead of us, we've also got a beautiful new space that's ready for our little family to start enjoying. Are you ready to take a look around?
Earlier in the week, I shared the makeover we gave to my son's bedroom, including new paint, curtains, new bed and a furniture reconfiguration. But another area that we gave a mini-makeover to was our son's wardrobe. I love starting with a blank canvas, and thinking about what worked well in it's previous state, and what needs to be changed to make it function more effectively. A great closet system that suits your child's abilities and needs can really help foster independence, and keep things neat and organised.
