I've been in my new flat now for just over two months, and I wasn't prepared for how long it would take to feel like home. Turns out, consolidating two people's things takes king of a while, but I'm glad we didn't just give up and turn the spare room into a junk room. We've persevered though and it was worth it - it's now feeling comfy and cosy and, well, home.
What also surprised me was how much my tastes have changed over the last year. When I moved home, I put a lot of things in storage, and it was only when I unpacked them recently that I realised they just weren't me any more. It doesn't seem right to put Alice in Wonderland prints on the wall any more - a lot of my more cutesy things have gone straight to the charity shop. I think it's probably a combination of growing up a little, and also wanting this to be OUR flat, not just mine.
Most of the cute little bits in this post were kindly sent to me by Flamingo Gifts, who are a veritable goldmine of pretty, quirky homeware... that's still not too girlie for living with a boy.
oooo love seeing these snippets. Gorgeous xx
