It feels like for
everything I have accomplished this year; there is a load of things I still
have yet to do, especially within my Apartment.
Both Bathroom and
Kitchen have yet to be renovated, plus I have yet to stumble upon a great sofa
plus my Living room is still entertainment centre free.
With 80 days until
2020 (I cant believe it either), I had decided to pick four tasks which will
take my Home closer to realising my dreams and which need to be completed
before the New Year.
Of course with only 60 days
to go, it would be seem impossible to plan and complete a bathroom or kitchen
renovation with my current work schedule; however, I think the mentioned tasks
are more realistic to complete within the time.
I’m favouring
towards a more modern Scandinavian feel, boasting lighter walls to
emphasize the light, married with a neutral-heavy colour palette.
I want to somehow
inject my personality into the space with statement pieces of furniture,
ornaments and soft furnishings with some highlights of feminine colours, along
with natural textures such as wood and stone.
I want to also
compliment those pieces with fluffy rugs and soft window treatments to display
and emphasize the contrast of elegantly minimalist and a homely yet feminine
aesthetic, resulting in a functional and uncluttered yet homely and cosy
environment.
Entertainment
Centre
My Kitchen and
living room is open plan and roomy. I am conscious not to take up space with
too much furniture which in the past has resulted in many items not having a
having a place to live, leaving the room with an unorganized feel.
I feel confident
that having a built-in entertainment system with various shelves cupboards and
perhaps drawers will provide a home for my bits and pieces without taking up too
much floor space.
I am 100% sold on
the idea I have yet to take the plunge, however, there are reasons for my
procrastination as follows:
*Choice: the
more I look for inspiration, the more I change my mind, between Pinterest,
Instagram and google the possibilities are endless!
*Contractor:
as I don’t have a man in the house I am some what intimidated at the aspect of
selecting the right carpenter nor do I know where to find on, although I do
have a few recommendations from friends, so it’s time to get on it.
When I moved into
my new Home, I didn’t put much thought into my living room sofa other than I
wanted them to be grey, then when Very had a black Friday sale, voila I had sofas,
don’t get me wrong they look okay but are not particularly conducive now to a
comfortable chilling experience for me, which is why I only use my living room
when I have guests over.

Ideally, I would
like something big soft and comfortable what I can snuggle into with a cup of
tea and my laptop on a Sunday afternoon
Preferably on a
chaise or a corner sofa in grey of course
On a few occasions
I have ventured out to sofa stores and seen a few contenders but still, have
yet to commit to a decision.

Paint Job
Every now and then
I wake up inspired to wield a brush or a roller and attempt to perform DIY in
the flat and while I am proud of myself for making an effort and always suffer
afterwards (Thanks Lupus) I think it’s time to get a professional to work magic
on my walls and white works.
my colour of choice isDulux Matt Emulsion Paint For Walls And Ceilings in Polished Pebble
Radiator Covers
After years of the
previous owners hanging clothes to dry on the radiators they are in an awful
state and after an unsuccessful attempt to paint them, I think the best option
is to hide them away behind some stylish radiator covers, so that’s not the
biggest job to do.
I found these amazing AVC Designs Kensington Radiator Covers in various sizes on Amazon
guess its time to get my tape measure out
Get started in 2020
To-do list.
I refuse to let
another year go by with my bathroom and kitchen in the state that they and
while it is unlikely that I will physically get anything done I can still
gather all the relevant measurements, information and costings together in
order to jump on it in 2020.
