I am ready for it all...

Yes, I am ready for it all...and I mean, Fall. Fall is a great time, to enjoy our homes. This post is not about my usual things, not about decoration, or my new bought accessories, but it's about the comfort which our homes can give us. So, here are a few of my favourite things to do, when it gets chilly outside...

I am ready for my favourite tv shows, I want to curl up on the sofa and really enjoy them.







I am ready for a new throw on our sofa, to enjoy when it gets chilly. I am ready to order a book or preferably dvd of Nigella Lawson, she is so brilliant and makes me want to cook even more in our new kitchen.



I am ready for reading books and watching through my favourite coffee table books.


I am ready for hot chocolate and cookies.



I am ready for using our sauna, which I must say, came with the house we bought, so why not give it a try?

I hope you all enjoy your weekend and do take care!

More glimpses of my new home

Hi everybody, it's been a busy week but today is really great. I found a really beautiful lamp and I just knew I had to have it. Now we have a new home, I have to be careful what I buy, since it's easy to buy lots of things, and end up with lots of things all over!
The lamp foot is of stone and the shade is dark blue, it will be ready in about 2 weeks.
Then I got home and I found my new issue of 'Ariadne at Home' which I absolutely love...and the October issue is always so nice and thick, what a treat...



I also want to (finally) share some pictures of our new home with you all, I have been asked when I would post them, so I dedided to share a picture of the livingroom, kitchen and our son's bedroom with you. There still have to be done a ton of things, but for the moment we are happy and feel that we are on our way.
I have to admit to a very typically Solange-story, yesterday I was stuck in our bathroom, with my 2,5 year old son.... I was so happy my husband was home, since he couldn't open the lock from the outside, and I couldn't open in from the inside. The lock was broken and after 20 m5 minutes, my husband decided to saw the doorhandle off....and take the entire door out. You can imagine, we have now a door with a big hole in it.... well, a good reason for a new door! But you can imagine my hapiness, that I wasn't home alone, since I would have been stuck all day....sigh.






I hope you all enjoy your weekend, here it's sunny but fresh, perfect for going outside and doing works inside.

Take care, Solange xx!

lovely, lovely pictures

I just wanted to share some beautiful photos I found in a french magazine. I just love the atmosphere these pictures show and the colours are ravishing. Soon I will show you more of my new house, but I didn't want to keep these pics from you....
I am longing for our newly ordered curtains to arrive. It is so bold and cold without curtains, and I am happy my curtains are on their way. It does make your home so much nicer!





This weekend we will go on with our little chores and the endless projects we still have to finish, but the major things are done and I am enjoying to finally start moving things and decorating now. First I was just cleaning, now I can decorate.

Enjoy the pictures and I hope you are all doing fine with your homes. I do enjoy your blogs so much, and thanks for all the lovely feedback you all give.

take care,

Solange xx!

small changes

Another few days have passed and so much has happened. We were a full week in France, for family and a wedding to attend. Then we were back in our home and realized there was still so much work to do. But slowly things are taking shape and we are well on our way.
I have bought some lovely flowers this week, received a jar full of cookies (beautiful to look at, yummy to eat!) and a few magazines here and there make me feel quickly at home. Its strange how different your own things look in a new home, they are the same things yet they look so different, better, for that matter.




This week I will go back to work again, but my home will still be my project for quite some time, I have got countless ideas, from lamps to colours, new curtains, corners to decorate, well, a long list...

I wish everybody a wonderful weekend, and sorry for not passing by so much, it's been a bit busy!!

take care,

Solange xx!
