Home

Some photos I've taken around the apartment. I still have quite a bit to go before it looks presentable though!

I love Moomins! I got all these mugs as gifts from my relatives when I went to Finland a few years back.

When I received my package from Little Paper Lane, I peeled off the washi tape on the package and put it on my wall. It looked pretty cute so I kept adding more tape and then added some instax photos. I think I'll keep adding to the collage, it's just above the dining table so it creates a nice focal point.

Home Sweet Home

It's been a while since my last post because I've been busy...moving house!! Mr A. and I had been looking for a place since the end of last year. At first we were looking to rent but the rent prices in our desired suburbs were so high even though the apartments themselves were nothing special and many didn't have their own laundry space. On a whim we looked at buying and found that the mortgage repayment and rent were pretty much the same. In February we fell in love with an apartment and it was ours by March! For the past month we've been settling in and slowly finding places for everything. Last time I moved house it was in 1996 and I was 11. Moving is so stressful! But we made it and it feels so good to have our own space.
