We are slowly erasing the Ikea feeling in the house and the newest buy are these 4 white Eames chairs. I have dreamt of having them for a long time and when A's colleague wanted to sell his, we couldn't resist. Now they are waiting for a nice table that can make them justice.

The fireplace is in the house and after having received the last piece, we could install it where it is supposed to be. Now we have to dress it and install the missing part of the chimney, then we can sit in front of the fire and enjoy the heat with a cup of hot chocolate!

The stairs have lost their sides and have been painted white. We are both surprised how much bigger the room feels now! Next step is to construct a box for putting wood under the stairs and putting up shelves.

I am so happy that the bathroom downstairs is ready! There are just a few details such as hanging up the mirror and put up lamps left.

The wall outside is finally ready for this time. They also made stairs so that we can access the higher part of the garden. In spring we'll probably dress it so that it will look good.

The terrace is finally done and we have been able to sit outside and eat quite a few times thanks to the beautiful october weather we have had. Now this season is probably over though and I am already looking forward to decorate and furnish the terrace next year!

When my parents were here, my mother made a lot of curtains, almost for the whole house! We are very happy with them all and now we can close for curious looks from outside in the evening!

Last weekend they started to build the continuation of the wall that was already there. At the moment it looks like a real mess but they advanced a lot during a day and a half! Next weekend the work will continue and soon it will look nice and proper!

The sidewalk also looks proper now! And we have a somewhat acceptable mailbox. Now it is accessible and you can see who lives here as opposed to before when it was 1,5 meter up and no names were visible.

My parents where visiting for three weeks recently and during that time they helped us with soo many things! My dad almost finished all the remaining stuff to do in the kitchen for example. He put a facade on the dishwasher as well as on the fridge and the freezer. He also put the white "floor boards" that you can see between the floor and the cupboards, finished the table top and aligned all the cupboards. The only thing not done now is the installation of the kitchen fan because we are still waiting for some pieces that where missing from Ikea.

It took a few weeks instead of a few days but finally the toilet part in the downstairs bathroom feels somewhat finished. There is only a lamp in the ceiling missing but that is peanuts compared to what it looked before. So as promised, here are a few photos of the new toilet corner.

Here is a little sneak peak of what will hang on our bathroom wall downstairs. I am planning to decorate the toilet corner in the next few days. Until then, I will only give you this little detail:)

When I unpacked boxes this weekend I found a whole bunch of pillows that I had forgotten that I have, what a nice surprise! Now our couch is invaded with all of these and it is starting to feel more cosy in our little home.

It is so long to decorate a room and our office is far from being done, but it has progressed quite a lot. The table is in place and a part of the storage (with the doors missing) is put up. At least it doesn't look like a hurricane past anymore, like it did last week.

Finally we have gotten to make something out of the little walk in closet we have. Saturday we installed the wooden floor and yesterday we put up shelves. Now I have put all these things that we want to hide, from suitcases to towels and bed sheets.
