Have an excellent weekend.


Have an excellent weekend. What are you up to?

I can't believe we've already been in our new house for almost a week! It's still being painted and there is so much left to be done, but I am yearning for a weekend to just unpack and unwind! We've got to go over to our old flat tomorrow for the final check-out and end-of-tenancy cleaning (bleurgh), so once that's all over, I think we'll both feel a huge sense of relief. I can't wait to show you more photos (if you'd like to see!) as we go along.

Anyway, that's all very boring!

Have you heard of Bloom & Wild? They deliver fresh flowers to your (or your friend's!) door ... flatpacked, so they fit perfectly through the letterbox! It's ingenious. We received some beautiful peonies as a housewarming present from our friends the other day (as well as a giant, glorious bouquet from John's dad) and I couldn't wait to put them in the new Habitat vases I bought.

I hope your weekend is filled with sunshine and the occasional gut-busting laugh! (Because, obviously, those are the best kinds of laughs.)

  1. That flower idea is so great, Fredrik got some for his graduation and the delivery person just left them outside the main entrance to our building and we almost missed them!

    1. ARGH! That's so frustrating! Glad you found them, though. Yep - I think I might be using this delivery service more often!

    1. Thanks so much, Suze! Yes, the painters and plasterers were there for 2 weeks ... we'd wanted to get a good chunk of it done before we moved in. :) It's made the world of difference! From horrible magonlia and yellow to clean white, barely-there-grey and the palest of blues.

  8. Looking forward to the house tour Jaime; choosing colours is super stressful, I leave that all to G to work out while I eat cake ;-) xx
