Week 9 - Favourite spots around my home

What a fun topic for this week's listmania - happy spots around our homes. I took the opportunity to take some snaps of my house. I took a quick roam around my house and took photos when I felt the desire!

My bedroom
I put my bed and my chair. I put the chair in my room for reading - but it's usually covered in clothes, books, baby dolls etc! But it's still nice when I do manage to read in it. Otherwise I love reading in my bed. It's so comfy and I love being propped up with my pillows. We recently painted a feature room in each of our bedrooms - we choose this green colour (Savannah has pink and Hunter has orange). I love that it's not so white - used to be so much white!!

 

Outdoor table
When we bought our new house the first thing we did was purchase a pergola for this outdoor area. We have put a fan at the top which means we can sit here all year around. We eat dinner here most nights. It's great family time. It's a bit messy at the moment, but it's well used. I also sit out here on nice days and read my book or have breakfast on the weekends.


Treadmill
I love that I have a treadmill at home so I can go for a run when I'm the only adult home. It makes it easier to exercise without leaving the kids.

Artwork
I set up this artwork nook during the Simplify Your Life challenges. My kids love craft and are always creating something at school and childcare. The aim was to give them 2 spots each and I regular change which pieces are on display.


Coffee machine
I have the Nespresso U. I love it. I can make a cup of coffee in less than a minute before I head out the door for work each morning. I've only had this since November but it's saved me $4.20 each day on bought coffee.

Thermomix
What home isn't complete without a thermomix??  I love the thermomix - makes cooking a breeze and we can make so much food from scratch - preservative, additive and colour free!!


Lounge room chair
This is the chair I'm currently sitting in.It has recline and is so comfy. This is my chair of choice for laptop work and TV time!

 What are your happy spots in your house?

    1. Thanks Lisa - that colour was my choice (green is my favourite colour). The 'be your own kind of beautiful' stickers are a new addition which I think just adds something to the room.

    1. I love the colour! The coffee machine and thermomix clutter my bench a little but I wouldn't be without them.
