House Update

A wee house update! (this is a little image heavy!)

I now have an official moving date - the 8th of October, just 5 days away. I feel absolutely no rush to pack which is kind of odd, I think I'm just sooo focused on actually movinggg!

• Bed & Mattress (very essential!)
• Duvet/pillow covers/bed sheets
• Bedside table
• Full length mirror
• Desk
• Something to keep all my make up/hair stuff in
• Curtains (half the windows in the house have no curtains!)
• Cutlery
• 2nd bedside lamp

I've also gotten a few more things that were on my list :) I went to Ikea today to pick up some essentials:

I got two of these for bedside tables - they're only £5 each!

And I picked up this desk for £21, it's 120x60cm so it's a great size and the plaster drawer unit I bought for all my girlie make up and hair things will fit underneath it so it can double as a dresser/desk.

I also got this duvet/pillow cover set on sale for £8.99!

One of my favourite mini-purchases, just 39p each! These little glass candle holder have a tall candlestick holder on one side and a tea light holder on the other. I only bought 2 but I wish I had bought some more!

Lastly, this is me and my boyfriends room, I have pictures of all the other rooms which I will do in another post. I'll also be taking lots of new pictures when we're moving in/moved in! Our room is 19x11ft, it's huge! And the entire left wall is fitted wardrobes :)

A Recap

Paris snaps!!
So much has happened over the past couple of weeks, here's a quick round up -

1. Firstly, I went to Paris, it was beautiful! I really want to go back and really take it in, the trip was a little overshadowed by my hike to get there (night train from Glasgow to be at London Euston for 7am) so I was really tired and my friend I was with wasn't enjoying it.
2. I want to learn French! It's a lovely language, I tried to grasp a few phrases which was fun :)
3. I'm a little annoyed that my pictures didn't come out better, I'm still trying to get good with my camera and it's even harder when you're not with a photography enthusiast who understands your wanting to muck about with settings.
4. In sad news, my best friend isn't coming down to live with us anymore, I'm super gutted :(
5. In bittersweet news - I NOW HAVE A HOUSE IN LONDON! It's perfect, we are literally neighbours with 4 of my guy friends, don't ask me how we managed that in London...it was pure luck (or fate!)!
6. Moving in next week :)
7. I'm getting gerbils!! It started off as cat, then a rabbit, then back to a cat, and for a while guinea pigs, but we're not sure how the landlord would feel and they cost more/require more time/attention, the list goes on! I had gerbils as a kid and they were great, they're sociable, easy to care for and generally don't bite :) (unlike hamsters!).
8. I'm now obsessed with gerbils and building an amazing home for them.
9. I'm getting on with my 2nd summer project concept. Although I'm low on time and haven't done my dissertation.
10. It's getting really cold and autumnal!
11. I've got an Alice In Wonderland related commission piece to do in the next couple of weeks :)
12. I'm also obsessed with furniture shopping.

I think that's everything! I'm sure I've missed out a lot but you get the jist of it - so busy. I will try to update more often, I've been using my Tumblr a lot recently because it feels quicker and more instant when I'm in a hurry.
