Today is a special day and definitely needs markin Today is a special day and definitely needs marking on the IG ... a new chapter for us starts today as we have officially SOLD OUR HOUSE !!! It’s been a crazy year and why not add a bit more craziness to it by putting a house on the market and selling it within two weeks without a new house to go to ... 😆6 weeks of packing, storing things, cleaning and moving to our temporary home ... we are done for now, absolutely shattered and emotional .. there were a few (a lot of) tears as I walked through the house one last time .. lots of memories already were made there in the last 4,5 years but we will make new ones very soon!!! wish us luck for 2021 so that we can find our dream home and start our new adventure 🏡

Happy Sunday ! Today we were chilling watching som Happy Sunday ! Today we were chilling watching some movies in the morning as that’s what Sundays are for right .. but we are having a friend round tonight for Sunday roast so need to tidy up and cook a meal later on.. plus we are adding a few finishing touches to the house .. it’s weird thinking that every single room in the house is nearly completed.. 4 years of hard work ... this tv cabinet is one of my favourite projects as it makes the room look complete now and I keep adding things on and changing it .. What’s your favourite project in your house ??
