It's Not a Dead Muppet, I Swear

I wrote about my ideas for decorating the new house here.

Shortly after, by pure coincidence, I came across a rug which ticked several boxes - fun; girly; PINK! Plus it's oh so soft.

And totally the style Miss Morgan and I are going for in the new house.

It was quickly labelled a Dead Muppet by the Pippa, which is fine because Muppets are weird and scare me, so I'd much prefer it be dead and on my floor... Sorry kids.

Anyway, the Dead Muppet rug was one of the first things to be unpacked in the new house and I think it fits in quite nicely with our borrowed couch (Thanks Pip!), glass coffee table and sparkly cushions.

More pics of the new place to come as we unpacked a little more over the weekend - in between playing with Miss Emmy and eating chocolate..!

Reunited

Those of you who read my blog regularly (which to be honest is probably just my sister!) would know that after selling my house I moved to a sharehouse where my gorgeous puppy was not permitted to live. It was extremely difficult to make the choice to move when I knew she couldn't come with me and I experienced a huge amount of guilt throughout the five months I spent there, but I made the decision for many reasons, but perhaps selfishly because being with friends was what I needed at the time. 

Miss Emmy was temporarily adopted by my mum so I knew she was being looked after - and judging by the amount of weight she has gained during that time, I know she was definitely well fed - but I knew I could only take advantage of mum's offer to be a halfway home for Miss Emmy for a limited time. And, if I'm 100% truthful, Emmy is a huge part of my life and I missed her immensely.

So... over the weekend I've moved house again (yes.. that's now 3 moves in 6 months) and Miss Emmy and I are finally reunited.

The weekend was emotional - combined sadness over leaving Miss Pip; excitement over another new beginning which includes 'Morg's and Andie's Pink House of Fabulousness'; and ofcourse having Emmy back on a full-time basis (which means no more weekend visitation issues or awkward access visits).

And, Miss Emmy seems to have settled into our new house nicely and quickly claimed Morgan's bed as her own.

It was my first day back at work today since the move, and whilst Emmy was somewhat confused by being confined to the yard all day (since she's previously had a dog door and therefore access into the house at all times), I must admit - I do love coming home to such an enthusiastic greeting at the end of a long day.

All packed up and ready to go..

It was an exhausting day - all that exploring in the new backyard tired her out

Then she discovered Miss Morgan's bed

My vicious guard dog - keeping watch out my bedroom door
(and maybe napping on the job!)

Where is she? Oh, back on Morgan's bed!

This is her Happy Face

And now she's discovered another Comfy Spot - the fur rug beside my bed

Finding Comfort

This one's for the gorgeous Miss Morgan. 

Allow me to introduce you to one of my fabulous house mates who loves all things pink and sparkly (just like me).

Miss Morg's had a tough weekend, so I did what I do best - I baked. 

[And provided alcohol.]

There's nothing better than comfort food.

So Miss Morg's - just a few little tips from me to you - -

Harry Potter knows best

And retail therapy solves EVERYTHING

And finally... when in doubt -

Much love.

Home Inspiration : Living Spaces

Hoo-to-the-Ray

Miss Morg's and I have found a new place to live in and I am SUPER excited!

My mind has been spinning with decorating ideas and I can't wait to finally get my new furniture out of storage.

I turned to Pinterest to revisit some of my living room inspiration images. There's a definite trend towards white furniture with pink accents. No surprises there.

And luckily, Morg's and I seem to have very similar tastes, so I'm sure we'll be able to create a super cute environment which we both love.

In the meantime, these are some of the ideas floating around in my head - - -

White couch with pretty cushions = Eternal Love.

White Slip Covered Couches; Coloured Cushions

OR

A pink couch with more pink!

Or perhaps we could achieve something a little more sophisticated?

No.... This is probably more my style. Pink armchair, shag pile rug, white coffee table.

Yep - loving the colour popping

And, this piece is very similar to my very own mirrored drawers.
I love the cute vignette, complete with statement lamp.

And here I am loving the glass coffee table with stacked magazines. 

Coincidentally, I happen to have a glass coffee table in storage... 

And finally, what's a share house without a blackboard for quick notes scrawled to your housemate ?

I'm now on the hunt for a small board that we can mount on the wall..

Official move in date is less than 4 weeks away! Totes exciting!

A Family Re-United

Miss Morg's and I have just had confirmation that our rental application for a pet friendly home has been accepted. WOO HOO!

This is super exciting, because it means I will soon be re-united with a special friend of mine - Miss Emmy.

Miss Emmy

I can't wait! We are going to spend some time together at the dog park tomorrow in celebration.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your loved ones too.
