Our New Home Tour Part 2 (Upstairs)

The other week I wrote a post kicking off a mini tour of our new home and showing the downstairs in all its (dingy) glory, and the potential that it has. This week is the turn of the upstairs, and so ...

  • I wish this was a ‘before and after’ post but nope 😂 10 days in we are more organised (although you wouldn’t think it), but weirdly despite some slight longing for the old kitchen, and it being quite grim decor-wise, here already feels like home ☺️ I can’t put my finger on why but it does. Our last home was lovely, but we have so much space here and it just has ‘something’ feeling-wise that the other one didn’t... which is handy because we can’t afford to move pretty much ever again 😂 whilst it will be a while before we can do ‘big jobs’ I actually don’t care as I love it so much 😍 the year of stress, house viewings, worry about losing it and never thinking we would get it were all worthwhile in the end... always go with your gut feeling guys! If it feels right it probably is 💛 #beforeandafter #houserenovation #kitchenremodel #serialrenovator #wearecrazy #londonhome
  • We are in!!!! ⭐️Thanks to everyone for your lovely messages last post & sorry I haven’t replied yet but it’s all been very chaotic and tiring although actual moving day was a breeze, we were very lucky 🙌🏻 I can’t describe it but it feels like home already even though it’s smells very ‘doggy’ 😬 and the decor in every single room leaves a lot to be desired but I can’t wait to get stuck in. The internet has landed so managed to get some work done today and feel back in the real world 😂 having trouble locating our clothes etc as we currently have no drawers or wardrobes in our room (they were built in at our last place) so Adam has trotted off to Ikea tonight to buy the former! First stop renovation-wise will be kids’ rooms and then it’s working out what the hell to do next- very overwhelming but so, so exciting! #housemove #wherearemyknickers . . . . . #homesandinteriors #howyouhome #pocketofmyhome #interiors #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #myhometrend #cornersofmyhome #postitfortheaesthetic #interiordesign #designsponge #instahome #interiorsinsp #currentdesignsituation #howiboho #myeclecticmix #interiorwarrior #atmine #realinstahome #interior4all #nesttoimpress #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #interiormagisinet #styleitdark #styleithappy #myinteriorvibe
  • Bye bye house 👋🏻 can’t believe we’ve actually made it to this point and it’s really happening 😵 you’d think I’d be sad because we made it such a lovely house and Arlo was born here etc etc, but no, I’m clearly dead inside as I’m just excited now 😆 #movingday #ihavenoideawhereanythingis #boxesboxesboxes #iwillmissyoubeautifulkitchen #untiligetmyhandsonthenextone
  • Swipe across for current reality ➡️➡️➡️😂 last day in our house- funny how once all your stuff is packed up it doesn’t feel like home anymore? I can no longer locate anything useful and the big two can have free access to screens today as all toys etc are packed! #byebyehouse #housemove #whereismyunderwear #downthepubforlunch
  • #ad We are currently in the midst of packing hell right now with the big move happening on Tuesday, stuff is everywhere in the kitchen- out of the cupboards, on the floor, everywhere is a little crazy right now 🤪which isn’t always ideal of course with a toddler. I don’t do many IG ads actually, but when @bitrexglobal got in touch to see I’d be interested in working with them I thought the timing was very apt! Bitrex is the bitterest substance in the world & is added to household products to prevent child poisoning, something that I wish I’d known about a few weeks ago when Arlo picked up some floor cleaner that had been left within his reach in the kitchen, and subsequently drank some. Thankfully on this particular occasion it was a non-toxic plant-based cleaner and he was fine but it could’ve been a lot worse. It’s been our only incident like this in 8 years of parenting but unfortunately accidents happen! It’s made me look out for the logo on future household products (swipe across to see it) that we buy as not all of them include it, & I’m actually so grateful for Bitrex getting in touch as I had no idea such an addition existed. It tastes disgusting so children spit it out right away! Whilst cleaning products should be locked away, Bitrex is there for those moments when safety precautions fail. #KidsCanBe #Bitrex #toddlers #safetyfirst #toddlersofinstagram
  • We have exchanged!!!! 🥳 Almost a year ago to the day I went to view a house ‘just to have a nose’ and Adam thought I was a complete lunatic as we’d only been in our current house 18 months, now a year on we have finally reached this point 🙌🏻 we are so excited to move into our ‘forever home’ and it just feels so ‘right’ for our family of 5 and we are lucky to be able to have more space (and I can’t wait to get my hands on it 😁) Feeling relieved, thankful, exhausted, excited... being on the 28th May! Now to pack... 🤪 . . . . . #myinteriorstyletoday #homelove #stopandstaredecor #howwedwell #myspaceanddecor #spotthenewtrend #mycreativeinterior #dailydecordetail #postitfortheaesthetic #decorcrushing #rockinginteriors #interiormilk #mycuratedaesthetic #spotlightonmyhome #movinghouse #property #packing
  • Happy 7th Birthday to our little firecracker, Sasha! 🥳 you came into the world at speed and you haven’t stopped! You’re super-smart, funny, caring with a very grown up sense of humour 😊you’ve been planning your birthday since, well, your last birthday 😂 which makes me slightly terrified if you ever get married #bridezilla 😂 looking forward to pizza and cake with you tonight 🎂🍕 have the best day! #7yearsold #birthdaygirl
  • Completely unrelated photo as don’t think any image fits this crazy week- all going well we’re exchanging on our new house TOMORROW 😱and our move has been brought forward from the week in June that we were expecting to less than 3 weeks time 😱we haven’t packed a thing as haven’t wanted to tempt fate, so whilst removal guys are packing up the kitchen beforehand, I don’t know where to start on everything else 🤪with every move we’ve done we seem to have gained a child, so that definitely seems to complicate things 😂 need to order skip, get boxes, pay removal people, work out what can be packed now and what needs to be accessible... wish us luck! The poor Smeg will have to be stored in the new house garage for a bit as doesn’t fit in the current kitchen layout... we will meet again old friend, we will meet again 😢😆 . . . . . #myinteriorstyletoday #homelove #stopandstaredecor #howwedwell #myspaceanddecor #spotthenewtrend #mycreativeinterior #dailydecordetail #postitfortheaesthetic #decorcrushing #rockinginteriors #interiormilk #mycuratedaesthetic #spotlightonmyhome #kitchendecor #smegfridge #howdenskitchen #kitchenrenovation #housemove
