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

styling to sell

the bathroom

preparations to sell the house... i am quite sad about it. it feels somehow very wrong.

yet i have no choice but to accept it and focus on my future, my kids and my new life to come.

while at work on satureday, the man and i used all of sunday to fix some final things, paint a little here and there, get the yard under control ;-) clean and organize.

norwegian national holiday today...we walked in the parade with our son and his kindergarden, ate icecream and sausage. now he is napping and afterwards its off to coffee and cake at my (ex-) family in-law.

showing you my plans for styling the house to sell.

on thursday the photographer is coming here, yesterday its worth was estimated.

almost all things in the picture are bought at Ikea, soap from lucky duck.

i didn`t want to spend a lot of money on the styling...

the livingroom

the hallway

the bedroom

the girl`s room

the kitchen

was at Ikea last night and bought almost everything. i didn`t buy everything exactly as in the pictures, some things we had from before, some were replaced by something better ;-)

making the collages i tried to have in mind what each and every room lacked, what i was missing there.

even the laundry room, that didn`t get its own collage. it will have a pile of green towels and a plant:-)

of course i will show you the professional pictures (and compare them to my own;-))...later...

what do you think?

love
