one year `House of Nicole`

i can`t believe that this year has gone so fast! actually i blogged for the first time on 31.05.2010.
a lot of things have happened.
thank you, my readers, thank you so much! it is good to know that you like my blog!

when i started this blog my plans where a little different. i thought you would get to see the complete remodelig of the house we currently live in.
well, it didn`t go all the way to the end.

than i wanted to show you the new house that i was supposed to buy with my husband.
we`ll see what happens.

since last may a lot of things have happened: i started a new job as a kitchen designer/-saleswoman
(love it), i took some short trips to germany and denmark, some trips in norway, my kids have gotten bigger and - suddenly - i find myself singel.

my plans for the next year will include the selling of our house, me and my kids moving to a cosy little flat (wish me luck!) and a lot of things i can`t tell you yet!

probably i will be busy with making the new place cosy and a little stylish, find a new peace in my life, and other than that i also plan to show you a lot more of what i am doing at work.

here some collages of the current house:

have a good week and i hope of course that you will follow my blog throughout the second year also!!!

love

news

hei there

after three tough weekends with remodeling and finishing i have a weekend òff`.

the sad new is that my husband and i are going to separate. we have decided to sell our home.

thats not fun, especially not now where most of it is remodeled.

i will move into a smaller apartment and probably rent for a while.

am a little afraid of what the apartment is gonna look like and if i will be able to style it a little bit at least.

what am i going to blog about?

well, i`ll probably find something:)

finally most of the snow is gone and we\re getting prepared for easter. am so looking foreward to my dad coming to visit us!

i am trying not to be sentimental about selling the house, it just makes it harder.

after easter we`ll have a major organizing and throwing away session.

i kind of like that, i like organizing and good systems, i don`t like clutter.

the good thing is the warm weather and sunshine, that is really lifting my spirits.

here some pictures of the kitchen:

has any of you experienced a separation, divorce or selling their home to move into a rental?

flowers, tiles and summerparties

looking out of the window, kind of grey today...

i rented a watersaw to finally cut the tiles for the kitchen.

with new hope my man started, but:

not all that easy. this time the saw cut askew. both vertical and horizontal.

god lord, this is some ....fed up with this project.

am gonna ask the guys at work to borrow another saw or if the just can do it for me.

the whole point was to learn how to do it myself. oh well.

germany rocked in soccer!!! i`m so proud:D

we`re still in the game.

after the thing with the watersaw i took the train to moss, where my job had a summerparty.

i really had a good time and am not even that wasted today. we were

under a tent, where the rain was pooring down right beside us. one of the guys from work has a band that played the whole evening and as i said, it was fun. fun and loud;)

from tomorrow hubby has vacation and i will return the freakin watersaw.

have a beautiful day!

hei hei

still enjoying the weather*smile

yesterday my boss told me that i am supposed to decorate my section at work. my job will be to go shopping and decorate...he didn`t have to ask me twice;)

so that i will do next week...looking forward!

we have been to summerparties at my daughters school and my sons kindergarden.

both were actually really nice with sunshine, barbeque and singing...we even had to dance!

i found a house that i want to look at, it`s in the area that we want to live in. they show it on monday, but i am actually at work than. we`ll see.

have a beautiful day!
