A yellow cushion

A yellow cushion. Thats' all I really want. And I can't bloody find one.

Admittedly, I'm very picky. But there seems to be a lack of yellow cushions on the market. Granted, I could click a few buttons and get one delivered to my door by tomorrow morning, but with things like curtains, cushions and duvet covers, I like to get a feel for them before I buy them. But I'm running out of options.

Our new bedroom is basically grey and white, with a hint of yellow in the curtains, and I managed to find a gorgeous yellow chunky knit throw (which was £30 when I bought it - damn it!) to put at the end of the bed. But it needs more. A yellow cushion.

I've been to Ikea, Dunelm, Range, Matalan, Wilkinson's, Sainsbury's and Tesco - most of the big shops I have locally. My next step will be the dreaded busy high street. I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Ah well, to give you an idea, this is the sort of thing I'm looking for. No wool effect one as it would be too "matchy-matchy" with the throw, no huge patterns as it wouldn't go with the flowery bedding and no words or writing...it's just not my thing! Really, I'm not that fussy...

If you find something, anything similar - pleeease let me know!

It's me again!

Well, it’s been a while since my last post – sorry. BT and Sky finally got together and installed the internet in our new home – so I can finally spend my evenings looking at wardrobes, washing machines and curtains – all sorts of exciting things!

We’ve been in our new home now for just over a month and even though it’s been stressful (John Lewis made a right mess of our fridge freezer order which took a month to arrive…count to ten…) and tiring (days and days of cleaning the new house and scrubbing the old rental so we could get our full deposit back) – we’re in. And that’s really all that matters at the moment.

It’s just so nice having our own place where we can do what we want, unlike living in a rental. The kitchen lino was horribly stained, so up it came – to reveal beautiful black tiles. The curtain rails had been put up wrong, so the Other Half’s dad took them down and sorted them out. It’s just so nice being responsible for it all. Until the boiler breaks or the windows need replacing…

Anyway, if you’re interested, here are a few pics of the house from day 1 – it’s still a work in progress, but you get the idea.

We' had a lot of stuff...

Such a classy way to celebrate our new home!

Some serious unpacking to be done...

...and some more!

Our dining room screaming out for a table...

...and our living room starting to take shape.

Our 'cosy' kitchen...

...and our 'low maintenance' garden.

The huge bathroom...

...and the spare room that's finally been cleared - sort of.

And last but not least, my favourite room at the moment - our bedroom - with my gorgeous new curtains from Dunelm.

Wish me luck with the rest of the painting, unpacking and stressing!
