Home Sweet Home

We did it!

We moved into our own home! And we absolutely love it!

It's been three weeks now since the big move and we're pretty much all settled in now. Well, I say settled in...there are still a couple of boxes left to unpack and it is a wee bit on the messy side but it's tidier than our old room and we know where everything is so we're settled in for us! We finally got the internet and phone line installed this week and came out of the stone ages as well which is great! (must remember to actually buy a phone!...retro under £15...suggestions welcome!)

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about moving here, it was a long way from the area of London I'm used to and I was very concerned about it being a studio flat and there being a lack of space. But I needn't have worried! The area is absolutely gorgeous! Lots of green areas, easy travel links and just lovely :) And...best of all...the flat is soooo much bigger than I remembered it!

It may be a studio but it has a separate kitchen and shower room and the main room iteself is heuuuuge! Plenty of room for the bed, 2 guitars the coffee table, a sofa (although we only have two armchairs at the moment), a dinner table with two chairs, a chest of drawers, two bedside cabinets and a mahhoooosive floor to ceiling wardrobe...AND there is still enough room for me to get the Wii Fit out!

We got this flat on a 6 month contract because of our worries about size and location, but we have completely and utterly fallen in love with it and hope to stay here a lot longer!

In other news I've been a busy bee Lou Lou's Luxuries wise! Have had a few custom orders come in this month plus a personal project to make the boyfriend's 5 year old niece a beautiful jewellery set present for her birthday :)

Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures of her present before I had to send it off but the little princess's dad has promised to take some for me so I'll be able to show it off soon :)

I'll be uploading those other custom order pictures soon as well so watch this space!!

Watch out everyone...Lou Lou's back!
