our study...

I have a set amount of money put aside to fix up our home... So I did what any red blooded female would do, I went shopping!  And I had so much fun.

I don't have everything yet, some of it is on order.  I did manage to order a gorgeous Laura Ashley bed for my room and bought a new doona cover (on sale :-) ), a throw cushion and a couple of bits and pieces.  The bed arrives mid February so once it's all set up and done I will take some lovely photos to show you.

 

I did manage to buy these cute bits and pieces for the study for myself and the girls.  Becky and Chloe are in America at the moment so I hope to have it all set up by the time they get home (I have ALOT of work to do in 2 weeks...)  I bought the above from Kikki K and it was all on sale... makes it even nicer!  I couldn't resist the little giraffe tins and I bought 3 of each of the boxes and magazine racks and I am going to make little labels for myself, Beck and Chloe. 

The little mouse pad has a giraffe on it too!

I am really excited about getting it all together with some other bits and pieces and some shelving and making a really nice area for us to work in.  I Will show you when it's all together.

I also managed to get a portable hard drive for my laptop (also on sale!!) and it is now running so much faster.  I have downloaded everything onto it and my computer is like new again.

I haven't heard alot from Becky and Chloe.  Their dad's bag was pinched from the airport in LA when they arrived and it has his phone charger in it so communication has been very limited.  I am looking forward to hearing all about it when they get back.  I'm sure there will be lots of funny stories for them to tell me... there always is when those two get together.  They are truly becoming best friends and have so much fun together.  They share the same sense of humour and are always laughing and being cheeky.  I love it!

Till next time, take care,

Love Nel xo

Your study is looking lovely. I think it's really good to refresh everything and make it feel like just yours and the girls. I did a lot of clearing out and refreshing when George left. Laura Ashley do some great beds. My Mum and Dad run a small B&B and they have them in all of their bedrooms including their own. They're very comfortable as well as looking lovely.

Those look like they will be so much fun in your new room. The giraffes are way too cute. I get giddy when I think about organizing stuff!
