Room to Breathe

Room to Breathe.

One of the plus points of moving to a new home is all the latest mod cons!  After living at Meadow Cottage for 7 years with bog standard fixtures and fittings…it really is a dream here…It actually feels like we have won the lottery!

I have a switch for everything! infact I thought I was putting a bathroom towel rail heater on for the first couple of weeks of moving here, every morning, only to realise it was a heater for my airing cupboard! What bliss! being able to air my washing off in a cupboard with a heater! (I know! it’s the little things aye!)

I used to drool through magazines and websites, looking at the latest bathrooms and kitchens, wishing I could have the same Kind of styles.  Oh don’t get me wrong…I know my Kitchen at the old house was popular in magazines, but it wasn’t really workable. There was no space on the worktops to move and cooking became a chore not a pleasure at all!

Now in my New Kitchen I can feel a few bakes and cakes coming on…I have not filled the it up at all…leaving plenty of space on the worktops to prepare and serve…I am not saying that it will not change over the months to come, but it is such a lovely place to prepare food in that I dont think it will…

As for all my vintage enamel…yes i still have it, but i think i am going to have to cull it down a bit this year.  Just moving in here, well I must have got rid of about 50 black sacks of unwantables to charity…which made me feel really good…I feel that all my brain fog was despatched away in those black sacks lol!

Living here at 2A is like a dream come true…Lights that work, toilets that flush, doors that lock, switches for everything, a modern kitchen sink and room to breathe is the best thing…

What do you love the most about your house?
