our first aussie house

This post has taken a long time coming, I'm sorry! Our house was only a few months old when we moved in and we owned hardly any (that's an understatement) furniture. We've now been in our little house for 6 months and it's slowly starting to feel more homely, so I thought I'd show you all around...


So where to begin? The heart of the home in my opinion is the kitchen


the selling point for me was the giant oven, hello 5 gas hobs! 

Our living area is all open plan and there's loads of room for activities...

These flower things are left over from my birthday, I spent most of the day making them whilst feeling sick and flicking between seasons of dexter. You can also see some birthday cards I was sent, some of which came all the way from Merry Old England! 

Being in a rental means minimal nails to hang things up, so I'm being all arty and propping things instead, if you've got eye sight to rival a hawk you'll notice my degree certificate. We also have a canvas which says 'there is no place like home' which is silly because who knows where home is right now. There's also my little shrine to my favourite littles, Dan's unused guitar and some birthday presents.


From the main lounge area you can go into our bedroom, which has a walk in wardrobe (very unphotogenic) and en suite bathroom.

Thumbs up for not having to wonder the house for a middle of the night wee.



Back down the hallway from the lounge leads to our bathroom, laundry room and the guest room..



and then the office / gym (I'm laughing as I write that we have a gym)

where the blogging doesn't happen as we don't have the internet...


the bike was my birthday present to me, from me...I've promised myself 30 minutes a day.


and in the garden...

my baby and a hammock which is normally filled with dan playing football manager

I've successfully taken over the dining table outside with my collection of pot plants, yay!


So that's pretty much our little aussie house, what do you think?
