Guest room make over

Hello all,
I hope you are enjoying a lovely Sunday afternoon, its the only day it hasn't rained here this week.

This year as one of my goals/to-do items I wanted to get on an decorate a few if not all rooms in the house. We moved in about 2 and a half years ago and the decor was in a pretty OK state and not a bad palette of colours that we chose to live with it plus we had no money for such a task lol

Now however... Still no money for the job but I have started the make over and I have tried to do it on a budget. I wanted to make a start quite early on this year so that it didn't fall to the back of the list and never end up getting done.

I have made my first start on our spare room. Here is a photo of what it looked like.

It's only a small box room and everything is a mess.

As you can see in the before picture I had been playing around with wall paper samples and to be honest this is quite tidy from the state it had been in, before this there was a larger desk and a dressing table in there.

I want this to become a functional spare bedroom and a nice place to be even if the space is small. I want people to be able to stop over (I say people but I really just mean my best friend after we've been on a night out lol) and also if my little boy is hard to settle then it will be nice to have a single bed to snuggle up in and get him to sleep.

I'll update you with the finished room soon :)

My Goals 2014

 

Hello all, hope you're having a good day.

Now I know we're into the second week of January and for anyone reading this you may be sick of reading all about peoples goals and life aspirations but really anytime is a good time to set some goals and things to achieve it makes us positive and productive (now I'm just spouting rubbish so I'll get on with it lol)

I set myself some to do list things last year when I started this blog and I have managed to achieve some of them.

I now have my hygiene certificate for my cake business, I have added more cakes to my portfolio and I obviously achieved all my Christmas plans.

Now for 2014 I would really like to achieve:

1. My weight loss goals
2. 2 areas of the house decorated
3. Build my cake business further and add to my cake portfolio
4. Complete my 30 by 30 list
5. Keep up with this blog

 

I think 5 year goals is quite enough to be going on with :) There will certainly be more things to achieve throughout the year but I think they will go on a separate to-do list.

I'll come back to review this I think possibly at 3 month intervals to keep my eye on the goals :)

Does anyone else make goals or resolutions for the year? Are they practical and achievable or do you fall at the first hurdle?

Talk soon x

To do lists...

 

Good morning :) I've decided it time to get organised...

My mind gets a bit muddled with all the things I'd like to achieve and I end up half doing things or over thinking them and never actually doing anything so I thought I'd write some things down.

 

So I've been thinking there are a few projects I want to achieve over the upcoming months. Some are achievable and some will spill over into next year but its good to have something to work towards plus with having this blog now it will be good to see it in writing and refer back to.

So I would like to achieve:

• A daily schedule for me and my little boy

• Home made Christmas baskets for presents

• Decorating various rooms in the house

• Reorganising rooms

• Get organised for Christmas

• Make more cakes for my portfolio

• Do my food hygiene course

• Get to my goal weight

• Sort out a 30 things by 30 list

• Do some autumn activities with my little boy

 

 These might not be anything mind blowing but they are things on my agenda. I may add more to it yet :)

If anyone is reading this do you have lists like this? And do you have any things you would like to accomplish before the end of the year or even the end of the week :) Please share with me as it may inspire other things for me to do, maybe something more adventurous...

Talk soon x
