The past couple of weeks I haven’t touched a box. Once the essentials were out and everything was manageable I just kind of collapsed with exhaustion. So that means we’ve got furniture around the house that we haven’t quite found a home for, barely any paintings on the wall, let alone anything decorative around and oh yes, still loads of boxes. Hardly inspiring. Yesterday I was fed up, so played around with some of our things on the mantle in our bedroom. It probably won’t stay like that, but it’s nice for now.
So what do you think? It’s a vast difference from our last dark moody mantle which I loved, but I quite like the simplicity and texture of the painted stone. I can’t wait to hang a frame above. One of the things that I’m loving with our new home is the light. Yesterday was such a dark overcast day and I still managed to take a photo.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. As for me, I better get working so that I can see the back of those boxes…

That painting is great with the grey of the fireplace. Hope you’ve had a rested weekend. xx
You too Geraldine and a great start to the week x
I love it! The colour, texture and cute cut-away edges are perfect for placing your treasures – the ‘t’ is very cool. Beautiful dark floorboards too. Good luck with the unpacking – that’ll be me soon! x
Thanks Michelle. Yes I see, you must be so excited!!! Can’t wait to see the end result! M x
Oh Mel, this is lovely! I love the little niches on the side of the fire place.
It is so called in Hamburg at the moment, that I wish I had a fire place too!
