Moving house.

First things first, the white floors are now beautiful. They re-did them and used a different product, and they have come out exactly as I had hoped, very white (with a greyish undertone) and glossy. They have totally changed the front of the house, it now feels airy and light, and more in keeping with the lofty living room out the back. I whipped around and took a few shots, as you can see, our bedroom gets lovely morning light. Maxime's little nursery is filled to the brim with books, art (including the Mo Money B.I.G poster - had to buy it for him given his nickname is Mo - will take a photo of it for the blog soon, it's in a lovely big white frame), and all of his toys. It is so nice to finally have a room for him (in our last flat he really was confined to a makeshift nursery /  our ex study), so to have a room that is totally dedicated to him is really nice.

Things I've learned about moving home:

1. It's best not to do it with a three-month-old.
2. Definitely get the floors sorted before you move in, or you will never do it.
3. Live in the home for a bit before you decide to make any major changes (I was going to paint the living room completely white, but now that I see how bright it is, I've changed my mind).
4. Invest in professional cleaning for wherever you have moved from (the last thing you want to deal with is your last home's mess).

Things I love about my home:

1. How warm and sunny it is.
2. That our neighbours on every side of the house are warm and friendly and SUPER nice.
3. That we have room in our kitchen for a table that looks out over the backyard.
4. Cooking on gas (how I managed with a two-burner electric stove top for the last six years I will never know).

Once I've completely unpacked I'll take some more photos. But I thought these quick ones would suffice for now. PS, as you can see, my new home still smells like my old one! Still LOVING Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, I have the whole collection now, I literally get inundated with mail from Jo Malone, perhaps I've inadvertently become one of their top customers. Oops.
