I can happily say that a huge wave relief has swept through our household because we’ve finally found a lovely new home!
In the end our current place was sold on Friday and the new owner actually offered for us to live in it for a year before they moved. We were about to sign and then on that very same day, we found and were offered another house that ticked so many boxes. It’s weird how these things happen, six weeks of nothing and at the last moment we have choices.
The new house is nicely renovated, has loads of storage and luxurious central heating (not a standard over this side of the world). It also has a big sunny deck off the open plan living and the other bonus is that I still get to walk my eldest to school.
The only downside to the house is that we won’t be able to fit all of our furniture in because it’s lacking in wall space due to so many windows. Not that I will ever complain about too many windows! So decisions whether we sell some of the furniture or put them in storage…
I’m really looking forward to showing you our new pad! We’ll be moving at the end of the month so not a lot of time to pack.
Any tips on moving and getting organised?

Congratulations Mel, it must be so exciting. It’s wonderful to be in a position of choice and options. Can’t wait to see what you do to your new home. x
Thanks Catherine and Geraldine x
Yay!!! Knew it would turn out like this! Congrats on the new home, sounds wonderful and look forward to seeing pics on your blog of the redecorating. I agree pic above is a classic! The next few months will be a whirlwind for you all, but a good whirlwind. xx
Fantastic Mel! It must be fate! Cant wait to see pics-very exciting and of course, being able to walk to school still is worth its weight in gold ;-) xx
Thank you Caroline – yes I think so too and excited to redecorate:) Mel x
What a great news! I can imagine how good it feels to finally find something matching your needs. I remember well how we searched our apartment for over a year just because we had so many boxes it should tick and what a relief it was to finally find something what had many of the things we wished for :)
@Anu – hi! Yes if feels so good, it was a tough decision because we could have stayed, albeit for only a year.x
@Michelle, thanks! finally will need to have you around once we’re unpacked. When are you moving? Can’t wait to see your place!x
@Marie – thank you:) yes a huge relief, now I can “live” again. x
Yippee – what fantastic news Mel!! I can’t believe you ended up with the option of staying or moving to somewhere new – what an amazing outcome. I’m intrigued by all the windows – sounds fab – can’t wait to see it! Good luck with the move. We’ll be next x x
Oh Mel, what a relief ! Great news, I’m so happy you find a new home ! :)
