Home Goals 2012

Over at the Nester, there's a link party on for 2012 home goals. This is totally new for me. Before about June / July last year I was about as interested in home decorating and improvement as I am in strip mining (that is to say, not at all). Now I'm into the groove, and going to get to work!

1. Emma's bedroom.

I've started a few projects here, but nothing is finished. For my sweet, all singing all dancing three year old I want vintage girly girl. I ask her what she wants, she wants pink. Here's a little of what's inspiring me...

  burlap letter; doily table runner; dandelions; book shelves; suitcase table;

union jack pillow; chenille pillow; quilt; dresser; spray painted kitsch.

2. The Entry
Right now the entry into our home is a nothing space. Literally nothing. There is nothing there at all. So I'd like to do something there - it's the first space people see when they walk in the house and I'd like it to say something about the people who live here!

Here's some thoughts on the matter...

entry; mirror; table; letter

wood; entry; painted rug; suitcase; entry.

After this, well, things start to get a little crazy. 'Cause actually every room in our house looks like it's barely breathing. But I am reminded via the link party to stop apologising for my house. So I won't. These are my priorities to start the year rolling. Here we go!
