Scout Finch

It’s a four-day long weekend and I’ve spent the time pottering around the house, eating many delicious goodies and going for long walks with the boys!

We’ve also spent the weekend catching up with our architect and putting together solid plans for the much-talked about home renovations.

I’m equally scared and excited by the prospect, which is hilarious given we’ve been talking non-stop about them for the past two years.

Finally, a house that we both love and not a property that we live in for investment or functional purposes. We’ve even lived in a house because it was perfect for the dog! Have I mentioned in the 10 years we’ve been together, we’ve lived in seven places?

A house that we want to live in built for us, even complete with a doggie haven: the thought of it makes me giddy.

Like everything else in my life, I have planned and researched this project to the last detail.

When I say “research”, I mean spent A LOT of time flipping through home and décor magazines and pinterest…all in the name of research.

I thought it would be a good chance to show my inspiration board behind the proposed renovations of our small three-bedroom cottage – hopefully we can make at least some of this a reality soon!

If you find this all rather boring and self-indulgent, a post about cool places I’ve scouted out is coming up very soon.
