A crisis of eclectic proportions

Well, I hate to start this post on a downer, but I've officially moved into Struggle Street!

I had a pretty good vision for this house and how I was going to put everything together.  However, since being here, I'm just not feeling it.  Don't get me wrong, I love the house and it really does feel like home, I'm just having difficulty pulling it all in and making it work.

I'm not in the mood for spending too much money inside, as we are working hard outside on a pool, deck and landscaping.  Plus, we have plenty of everything 'decorative' and really don't NEED to buy anything more.

I've heard a lot of people get a dose of the blues when they move into their long awaited new homes, and I think that's all this is.  I just need to muck in and make it happen!!!

So, having said that, Big Girl's netball team has a bye this weekend and we don't need to be anywhere on Sunday, I'm going to get hard to work.  If you see me anywhere but at home, soccer or Bunnings this weekend, remind me of my commitment to my house and send me back there.

I (sort of, kind of) promise that there'll be proper photos next week.

Well, we're back in the land of the blogging!  Our internet was connected very quickly, which certainly makes a lot of things easier (namely, work!).

We have moved in to the house, albeit with just concrete under our tootsies!  The carpet has been scheduled for installation on Wednesday, and the flooring should arrive on Friday.  Having said that, Carpet Call has not returned any of our calls nor e-mails since last Tuesday, so it remains to be seen whether or not laying/delivery will, indeed, occur.  Suffice to say, we won't be call, call, calling the 'experts in the trade' ever again.  Neither will any of our friends.

Anyhoo, all that rubbish aside, we have enjoyed the first few days in the house.  I love the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry particularly.  Ha, you can tell where I spend most of my time!!!  The Great Room is also feeling more spacious WITH the furniture in, which I love.

It has been crazy busy around here, with lots of projects on the go.  Here are a couple of teasers...

Big Girl's Room

Little Girl's Room.  We started off strong, but haven't made any progress in the last five days!!!!

Without a floor, we have been unable to unpack to much, let alone style ANYTHING at all, so these photos will have to do you for a while.

Hopefully, I'll be able to share some pics later in the week.  Have a great one!!
