My first week here.. sore feet and all!

I am now in our new place for 7 days. We JUST got our 2.5 seater sofa from the storage unit.

My desk, finally unveiled - see below for more goss on it!

We're 70% unpacked. I am 170% exhausted. :)

The worst thing about this move, or moving from a 440sq feet area to someplace else/bigger... is that there was no available floor space for packed boxes! So we have had to do this the ultra slow and ultra INefficient way.

This place is SUCH a blank slate!

There are a few downsides to this space, the biggest 2 being I'm ALLERGIC to it! (It was owner occupied prior to this and he had a dog, a cat and a bird inside.) Also, 60% of the house is tiled So my feet get exhausted to the point of pain every night.

Our simple entryway. My "dining table" now, as its proper use, a hall table!

But this place is still our home.

And it's a super BLANK SLATE! :)

Oh and I have to show and tell!! My new desk is a $50 buy from St Vinnies in Katoomba, NSW. Without the glass. I'd always loved the detail of the faux bamboo furniture, having grown up with a few. :)



It's actually a dining table, but oh well :) I'm too precious about it to share it with others who don't care as much about the piece!

I paid $150 for a new glass top, painted it a wonderful pale blue high gloss, let it cure for 6 months...

And now, you'd have to pay upwards of $700 for one in a designer store! :)
