Who knew it would be so difficult to photograph a Who knew it would be so difficult to photograph a down stairs loo 🤦🏼‍♀️ so here’s the deal, it’s not completely finished just yet, as we still have a blind to grab, and it’s since become the store place for all painting supplies, but I just had to share the colour. It would appear by my insta grid I don’t like much colour, but I do and this is the first real ‘splash’ of brightness. 
Downstairs loo can be boring, soulless places, and well we didn’t want that!

Can’t wait to share all the details, but for now here’s a snippet!

The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day of The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day off for me, thanks to my company offering everyone a day off to celebrate a new financial year 🙌🏻 So I spent it tryinggggg to declutter and get those rooms sorted - will it be done before the next #transformationtuesday 🤔
Naturally I’m knackered today so it was a nice change to be bound to a laptop. Kick started the day with some classic High School Musical 😂 How’s your Tuesday been?

A little man and his love for his garden 🌿 Wasn A little man and his love for his garden 🌿 Wasn’t this weekend just lush? The sunshine, the blue skies, things finally look bright! 
We had a busy one, sorting through some of the junk we carried through the move, and finally get those must keep items stored in our loft space! I am a little gutted I’m not showing you a transformation of the two spare rooms, but it’s not long now, just a couple more boxes to sort and some things to sell and we will finally have a 3 bedroom house!

Rhodie thoroughly enjoyed his zoomies  round the garden, especially once we took the fence back so he had more room to run! Doesn’t he just look so happy. All he wanted was us all to be in the garden all day!

The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go! 
👈🏼 Swipe left to see the bland before!

And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

Wedding | Choosing your guest list

Another Wednesday, another wedding post.

I have just tipped under the 18month mark, and so the wedding guest list is being picked at, in time for sending Save The Dates.

I am behind schedule, however have no fear, I have plentyyy of time remaining. The guest list. This is when you realise you have far too many family, friends and acquaintances you need to invite, and before you know it, the magic number has been and gone and you’re considering not inviting your own sister just so you don’t upset someone else.

I will not deny, this is tricky, and mind fizzling. But there is a way to make it a little easier on yourself and hubby. Some tips follow.

Children or No Children? 

This is worth considering first. It’s another person to feed and fit into your day. Establish whether children are invited or not and apply for all. You’ll find it harder explaining why some are invited and others not if you don’t apply the same rule for everybody.
Remember, some parents like the prospect of a kid free zone.

Establish your bridal party

Bride, Groom, parents of the Bride, parents of the Groom, Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, flower girls, page boys. I think that’s it? This is your wedding. It wouldn’t happen without all of these. Of course you need to count them into any numbers, including yourself and hubby! 

Budget 

Have this front of mind. It can easily get out of hand if going over the number by one or two. That one or two extras can tip you over budget by hundreds of pounds in food, drink, favors and invites. Be realistic.

Be strict 

Don’t be afraid to say no. If you’re only inviting because someone says so, or it will make someone else happy,  say no. It’s your budget, your day and your wedding. You’ll only be annoyed when paying out for that person.

Can you imagine them not being involved? 

When choosing your guest list ask yourself this question every time. If you can’t imagine being without them on the day, then they should be on the guest list. If you’re inviting them for the sake of it, or feel like you should, add them to a maybe pile and send if you have space. There is no harm in having a backup guest list when others can’t make it, or you can afford to add a couple more. 

Remind yourself it’s your wedding. 

It can get a little touchy when discussing guest lists and who’s not made the cut. Don’t feel you have to justify. Weddings are an expense and no one should ever expect to be invited. Make sure you are surrounded by those who you cherish and ensure no one is sidelined for others who ‘have’ to be invited because someone else says so. 

How did you find creating your guest list? 
Have any tips I should have on here?
