Making Changes! (Homeware Haul)

Hello All,  Hope your all well? I've had a busy few weeks sorting out my house, 3 years ago my mum passed away and when she died the house became mine but until recently I haven't felt quite ready to change it, After family telling me it was time It got me thinking that maybe a change wouldn't be so bad, So off I went onto Amazon and Moonpig to pick out pictures and make some too for my new look! I didn't know where to begin or what style I wanted so I stuck with a theme... scenic pictures (I was keeping my mums Artwork up so made sense) so I choose pictures with some nice scenic views and as sometimes I don't feel that motivated to do things I bought a canvas of a quote I really liked and I put it next to where I edit and write blogs so when i'm feeling defeated I can look at it and (Hopefully) It gives me the boost I need. I also kept up two pictures of my mum that I really liked, It was very very hard taking down all her pictures It felt like I was loosing her all over again I know that probably sounds really stupid or makes absolute no sense! By keeping the two pictures really did help.



On one wall I have two canvas pictures of My Jack Russell's I wasn't sure what to put there at first so when I went on moonpig I decided on those pictures as a picture of me would just be to weird 😆 On that wall there is also a picture of New York that I LOVE, My mum had bought it when I was a teen and I was obsessed with New York then and as soon as I saw the picture I feel in love even more with that stunning City, There is also a quote on this wall that I got when I went down to England and I went to York in Yorkshire.





When you come into the living room to your left is a picture I got at a local art gallery that has sadly closed recently,  Logan and I went there last year as Logan wanted to some art work for his room and he ended picking the most expensive one they had. The Picture I choose I loved straight away, I just loved the colours, The beach, The whole thing! I just never knew where I wanted it until recently, I was upstairs one night and I thought i'd take it down and see what it looked like once it was up, There was the first picture up and my mums first picture down! It was the start of a new journey.






Then I got a bit carried away (I always do when I start a project)  Over on the sofa I changed the cushions to a Dog theme (I got the cushions two years ago in Dingwall, Scotland) I added two hearts that my Brother and Sister in-Law gave me for my birthday this year (One heart is supposed to me, The other my boyfriend haha according to my sis in-law) Above the sofa I added this amazing Waterfall picture I just love! That I found on Amazon. Next to it one of my mums Oil Paintings. 






Further along this wall we come to the quote I spoke about earlier, Next to it a picture of My mum and next to that one of Charlie Chaplin, Those that have read my blog since the beginning and or watch my vlogs  know how big of a Chaplin fan I am, So there just had to be a picture of him up! 



In the future I want to maybe sort out the curtains and get new ones and paint this room too I was thinking a lavender colour think it would brighten up this room a little bit, Then after I'm gonna tackle the dining room and the kitchen, Only thing I've done to the kitchen is tidy it up a little. 

In the hallway when you come in there was a bit of a disaster zone, It was where cardboard boxes got kept until bin day and dog cans were there, It was just beyond it! So one day I got busy and tackled it and sorted it out, I hurt my back moving the big chest of drawers over then I carried a huge table from upstairs down stairs and putting it under the stairs for shoes and things to be placed on to look tidier. 



All In all I'm happy with the progress the house is going through it's getting there  and I can't wait to do more and i'll keep you all updated on how it looks 😊
