This weekend is moving day. I don’t know how it came up so damn fast. But it is nearly here. I can’t decide if I am excited, or dreading it, more excited at this point I think. Excited for a new canvas. I spent yesterday packing and driving over some of the breakables to our new abode. Apparently we have a lot  of breakables. And as a treat, I let myself do a little decor in the afternoon. Yes, that is completely a treat for me. So, I transfered the dot wall from our old home, and put up a new light shade, this one is from IKEA. But the dot wall?, seriously, it is the easiest way to change up a rental, You can see my DIY over HERE. In the next few weeks I will be showing you other handy ideas to change up your rental. I am pretttttty pumped. Okay, back to the boxes.

Until next time.

FOUND // Drawers

If you had realised already I am a major sucker for a bit of foraging, hunting and finding. I love a good op shop, thrift store, garage or yard sale. I get a bit giddy when I find a little diamond in the rough. It is something the husband and I do together, and equally love. Okay, Maybe me a little more than him. Either way, it is a favourite pass time of ours.

So here we start a new little feature. Found. I will post about our latests buys, finds and acquisitions.

These are the latest. Two huge drawer sets. We ventured to a second hand store looking for drawer handles and came back with these. Solid wood, Brass handles and label holders. Sheesh. Beautiful. I nearly died, I swear. I wouldn’t let Nathan leave their side while I went to talk to the store-man about delivery and such ( I mean our Sven is a beast, But not beastly enough for these puppies ) So $200 later ( I know. Steal ) , they were ours.

Welcome to the family, Let’s see what we can find to hang out with you.

Until next time.
