Moving Tales

So we have moved in to our new house and we finally have internet again! Not just any internet either - we have NBN. The last 2 and a bit weeks without the internet were ok, but I have to say I really missed blogging the most.

After a stressful time packing and discovering exactly how much we own, moving day was suddenly upon us. It looked like this:

 Upon arrival, for at least a week afterward it looked like this:

I unpacked most of the boxes very quickly. There are still a few remaining but the important things we need are unpacked.

My new house has lots of storage. Including a cupboard under the stairs that everyone keeps comparing to Harry Potter. You walk to the end of the cupboard and turn left and it keeps going. It's also a great place to hide and forget about boxes.

Ever since I was a small child I've wanted a buffet and hutch. I think it comes from a rural upbringing and regularly seeing them in country homes. So now that I had space for one I could finally fulfill that wish. I found this stunning one second hand and I absolutely adore it:

Now that the boxes are clear let me show you pictures of our new home:

We couldn't resist using nails in the wall to hang pictures, and I think it gives it a much nicer homier feel. Our dining room and living room are North facing so we are already enjoying breakfast in the sun and it really warms up the house nicely.

It's so peaceful and in such a beautiful location. We have a family of ducks in the nearby pond and so many walking trails yet to be explored. I recently declared to David that I think when you buy a home your workplace should instantly give you 1 month off work (paid of course) just so you can enjoy your new home properly :)
