Scenes from the Humble House

by on December 21, 2011 in Daily Life

From top to bottom; You are my Happy, Striped Ballet Flats, Funny Flower in the Garden, Frankie Magazine and Little Blue Christmas Tree, Paper Lace Lantern, Christmas Wrap and Poppy on the Couch.

We’ve been very busy this week, but mostly busy doing good things. Things like wrapping presents, baking gingerbread and watching Home Alone. You know, the important stuff.

We hope you are having a wonderful week and aren’t getting too frazzled by all the preparations for Christmas. It’s so easy to get caught up in buying presents and fretting about things being just so, but it’s important to remember that those things aren’t what really matter. What matters most is spending time with those we love. Presents and food and decorations are nice, but love is much, much nicer.

Scenes from the Humble House

by on September 6, 2011 in Daily Life, Home

From top to bottom; Sleeping on the floor, mopping, the view from the kitchen window, thrifted cabinet, vintage squirrel salt and pepper shakers, ancient oven, painting, unpacked crockery, laundry on the line and one of many peanut butter on toast meals…

Our world is a little bit messy at the moment. We’ve spent the last fews days madly unpacking, hunting for “new” (old) furniture, to replace everything we left behind in Sydney, and cleaning. Oh, the cleaning! Somehow when we first came to look at this old house we failed to notice the grease-splattered kitchen wall, the mouldy bathroom ceiling and the 50 years worth of dust. Oh and don’t even get us started on the revolting state of that poor, old oven! We don’t think it’s ever been cleaned. Sadly the cute oven is beyond help and our landlord will be replacing it soon. In the meantime we are just refusing to make any food that requires baking…

It’s going to be a while before this house looks and feels quite like the home we want it to. There’s still a lot to do and we are rather restricted by our nonexistent budget, but at least now we know it’s (mostly) clean.

We hope you are all having a shiny, happy week! What have you been up to while we’ve been busy with moving stuff?

Sneaky Peeks from the New Humble House

by on September 2, 2011 in Daily Life, Home

Yesterday we moved our things into our new home, today the power has (hopefully!) been connected and tomorrow we will move in. The first of September is the first day of spring here in Australia, and we thought it was quite fitting that we were moving into our new place on the first day of the season. New house, new town, new season, new chapter. We celebrated with giant sticky buns and coffee in our tiny garden.

We are so in love with this little house. Though it’s grubby and rough around the edges, it’s got so much potential. And even though we can only make very small changes while renting, we can’t wait to make this house our home.
