A place called Home

My new favourite thing is shopping for homewares. I've always loved it, but now that I feel at home, and really plan to stay a while, its taken on a whole new meaning.
First of all I unpacked a few wall hangings I've been given as gifts but never put anywhere ( no room, no hooks or just no ability to make a shared house mine) and actually put them up in the bathroom and loo (of all places) and they look fantastic. I've unpacked my pictures and put them around the living room, and finally I have the space to get more.
Today I was forced to get up early for the delivery of my mattress, and while waiting I hung my Marylin picture and "Desiderata", took down the xmas tree and started making room for my old bed in the spare room. Tomorrow my fab new leather bed arrives.....ooohhh!!!
Today i went into Howards Storage World. If you've never been, you must go as soon as possible. Anything you could want to organise your home in a gorgeous way , and even things you didn't know you wanted, are there, and today I finally made a purchase... a clear suction capped basket for the shower. Fabulous!! I can't wait to put it up. My bathroom is going to be so cool!

Perhaps its a tad pathetic to be such a homebody, but right now...I don't give a shit!! I'm as happy as a pig in mud! And oh so excited to show it off to my dad when he visits on Monday.

Life is good... but don't tell anyone I said that.
