After so many of you visited yesterday for my adoption post (phew – a lot!) I guess an update is required. However, I am still digesting some of the contents of my file, plus a major discovery just by looking in the phonebook (!!) well I am still deciding what to do. So, please bear with me whilst I ruminate on my next step.

In the meantime, I wanted to show you a few pictures of our newly decorated living room. So excited to (nearly) have it finished – just the new sideboard and a couple of new cushions to come. Ignore the empty fish tank, it will be filled once the sideboard is in as it weighs a ton!

We had the flat painted whilst we were away on holiday and thanks to B’s dad we have a new leather sofa, so we all we had to do was put up the pictures (Bob in particular) and buy a new sofa (Sater from Ikea – £200 – bargain) as well as a new cat armchair (also from ikea – £80 – spoilt brats) as well as install new lights.

Our pictures are mostly from Etsy. The Edinburgh print is a commission from BirdAve, although this is a similar one, the Bob card is from Weisenheimers (we just framed it) and the big Bob is from Art.com (I think). We also have another Bob print in the post from Modprintables – the lyrics of our favourite Bob Dylan song and what I think will be either a reading at our wedding, or even the first dance! I think as a couple we need to curb our Bob obsession – quickly – before it gets out of hand!

The new sideboard is currently being refurbished by Trash Furnishings. It’s from Morris of Glasgow (1950s) and it is being updated. Hopefully I shall have it in the next few weeks.

I may put up some other flat photos soon…people love having a nosy don’t they…

Back soon with an adoption update!
