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?

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!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! 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!

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

5 Things we have earmarked for NYC this Christmas!

Did you know? Did you see? We are heading to New York City this Christmas! Literally, this year! NYC! And encase you didn’t know, I AM SO F**KING EXCITED!!

It’s something me and hubby have discussed since last Christmas, and since returning from honeymoon, we just had to book! We wanted to head away and selfishly have time just us two to celebrate Christmas as a married couple. We had decided If we wanted to be abroad at Christmas, it had to be this year, or never at all. So it’s been booked. And despite having pure intentions to be away for Christmas day, we managed to get a great deal which will see us return just in time for Christmas with family too. Win win!

So, now it’s all booked and the date is on countdown, we have been discussing what we want to be doing whilst away. We have a NYC virgin ( my husband ) and an experienced explorer of the city ( me ) to account for. Of course we will be doing all the typical sightseeing hot spots, but there are a couple of other, very festive activities to sneak into our trip.

Watch an NBA game

This is something on our USA bucket list and hopefully one to be ticked off pretty sharpish. My husband is a massive basketball fan and I’m pretty keen too, so it would be utterly perfect to both watch a game in Madison Square Gardens. Thankfully we purchased our tickets just a couple of weeks ago, so ergo we are heading off on the Friday night of our stay! To say we are excited would be understated!

Ice Skate

I have never ice skated before so where better than New York City. It’s the perfect Christmas activity and hopefully, there will be flurries of snow fall to make it that much more magical. NYC has plenty of places to ice skate, including Rockefeller Centre and of course, Central park. We are not sure where we will be gracing the ice, but I’m feeling both if we can’t make up our mind.



See a Christmas Show

Since we are there for all of the festivities, we are also planning a Christmas show for an evening! We would love to see something on Broadway and only thought it right to see something festive. Currently there are a few, and we have already earmarked one – now to get the tickets!



Horse Drawn Carriage

Another thing I have never been lucky enough to do, however feel this is the perfect opportunity and time to do it! Christmas snow, glittering lights and the chill of December, perfect conditions for an evening in a carriage around Central park! I’ve had a quick scout of the web to book or general prices and to no avail, so I’m just hoping its something we can a – just do when we get there and b – won’t be too pricey.

Statue of Liberty

Yes, I have been around the statue of liberty, but have I actually been in it? OH NO! We will already be heading in that direction for Ellis Island, so why not do the whole hog! Man am I excited to see the view across to the skyline!

Of course, there are plenty of the NYC hot spots planned ( Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Empire State, Ground Zero, Freedom Tower, Grand Central Station,  Brooklyn Bridge, The Library, Central Park and more) but I am oh so excited for festive NYC and hopefully some snow fall!

Am I missing something?

Anything we should look out for, for Christmas?
