So, it’s been a couple of months since the organization and moving post. I’m pretty pleased to say my kitchen is organised. It took a little bit of juggling (the microwave swapped position with the coffee machine two weeks in) but everything has it’s place and once the dishes are washed and put away, all by hand, it’s a tidy neat space. My lounge room is kind of/almost sorted. Being that we moved into a much smaller home I discovered that both TV cabinets I own are far too big for the corner space needed to house the TV. So the television is now sitting on the coffee table in the corner until I find the right corner TV cabinet. They don’t seem to be as popular these days and I don’t want to pay a fortune!
I still need to find some storage solutions for the second and third bedrooms but I’ve seen some shelving units and baskets in Kmart that will do the job nicely. Just need to put a little bit of cash away over the next couple of weeks to get them.
Other than that everything else I want to get for the place is really dressing it up. Bedside lamp bases, a rug, some pots planted up etc. I have bought a larger mirror for the bathroom, call me vain, but an A4 size mirror in the bathroom will never do! I’d like a cube storage unit like the Kallax shelving unit in my entry/hallway to furnish the space and give me some storage, but that will come. It’s a pretty cheap piece so I need to get on to that!
The biggest thing/area I need to focus on is outside. My carport, which is partially closed in has been left in a bit of a mess. Its currently storing a whole heap of boxes which I need to go through. I need to be ruthless in what’s going to stay and what’s going to go. Once I get that sorted, they’ll be enough space to to fit my car, instead of it sitting on the driveway! We have a lovely courtyard out the back which I’d like to get looking nice before the weather warms up. The landlord has left a big cantilever umbrella for us to use but it needs to be weighted down at the base before we can use it. I’ll let my property manager know but I don’t think the landlord will pay for them 😦
So really just an update of where the house is at. Quite a few things I’d like to get to finish it off, but we’ll get there. I’m going to post this without pics right now but I hope to have some added soon to show you how it’s looking. Don’t go expecting anything from House and Garden now 😉
In a further update, ready to get the storage I need from IKEA and wouldn’t you know it, they’re out of stock! Grrrrr! I’ll just have to wait till they get some more in but very frustrating!
Finally managed to buy the storage unit I needed for the front entrance of the house. I ended up getting the Expedit range as it’s being discontinued and was a bargain!
