Personal Touches

I love this house. It's changed so much since I first stepped into it. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that this would become my home, and David my guy. But that's exactly what happened, so quickly that sometimes I think we rushed into things... but like he says, if we hadn't rushed, we wouldn't be here. And I like here. It is my home.


Although I don't blog here anymore, I still love this space. I recently took down everything I had up and printed some of my scrap booking, and by recently I mean a few months ago. I'm very excited to try and find a big second-hand desk when we get to Perth for my craft room. I've told David I want a sewing machine for Christmas, but I have no idea which one I want.. so I think it's more a save and ponder item :p


I just love the way these photos came out, have I ever told you how hard it is to get photos of the kitties? I mean, I have a hundred gooduns, but probably a thousand outtakes. With the beeping of my SLR, it's a bit easy to grab their attention - I just need a faster lens. Another save and ponder :)


More photos in the kitchen. Nothing says 'home' to me more than fridge filled with family photos and fun magnets. Our first photo together, shots from Tasmania and Rottnest, takeaway menus and casino chip magnets from Las Vegas are some of our more notable additions. I still have a bunch of Garden State badges I want to convert into magnets... that can be my first (easy-peasy) project when we move in. It was the movie we watched the first night I came over to hang out... I watched most of it on the floor because I didn't know how close to get to this foreign older boy.


I just love love the colour scheme in the bathroom; green, brown and tan. I thought I was a genius for thinking it up, but later realised my beautician had the same set up in the room I get my eyebrows waxed in.. I must have remembered without remembering where I remembered. Ha. Regardless, I love to splash paint around and this is a prime example :) I like it.


Our movie collection is pretty neat. When I moved in we only had 2 doubles; Juno and The Butterfly Effect. The latter I brought over to watch that fated first night.. weird huh? It's not even that we have THAT different taste in movies (besides his fondness of Underworld like movies and Will Ferrell vs my obsession with Musicals and bad chick flicks *cough* Hilary Duff *cough*)... we just, I dunno completed each other. He owned the Matrix Trilogy, I had The Lord Of The Rings movies. He had Adam Sandler classic Mr Deeds, whereas I brought 50 First Dates to the table. Match made in heaven? Most likely.


This is the view from where I eat my breakfast and often, lunch, on the floor in the lounge. We have a dining table, I just like sitting cross legged. And love being close to the kitties :)


The ribbon and mini pegs used in this bunting-style photo display are from the marvellous Miss Tillie. I love photos more than anything... I also love colourful eclecticity (yep, that's now a word, you know what I mean). Nothing is better than displaying memories.


Ok, I lied. The only thing I love more than our photo displays in this house is this painting. It looks like a 5 year old could have done it, but it was the first piece of art David and I did together. Again, just paint splashed around on a canvas... but it hangs above our head when we sleep and reminds me of a time when things were simpler. Sometimes I think we both forget how in love we are... small towns play tricks with your minds I'm sure... but last night was a good night and I'm determined to make this weekend a memorable one :) Hopefully off to the gorges tomorrow!
