The Door of Two Tales… Past and Present

“An old house that had lived its life long ago and so was very quiet and wise and a little mysterious”
L.M. Montgomery, Emily's Quest

That’s how I felt about our house when I first viewed it, I instantly wondered about who lived there before and what tales it had to tell. Every time we do up a room or take down a wall we find something about it’s past, it may sound strange but I believe it wants us to know where it came from.

I always think a door can tell a lot about the house you are about to enter! As the old saying goes first impressions last! This is our side door and the entrance to the heart of our home our kitchen, so when people come through it I want it to look warm and inviting! See how I achieved this look in a few easy steps:)

I agree 100%, your home should mirror who you are as a person, your style, your personality and your aura. I always try to keep this in mind when starting to design a new room. 

PINK MAKES THE BOYS WINK

When we moved into our home, the first room we designed was our Bedroom. At the moment this is where we do all our dreaming but ultimately it will be a guest room for when family and friends come to stay. (So, don't laugh too much that my husband Seamus sleeps in a pink room lol)

Hello Mr Goose,

There is a lot of work that needs to be done inside our home, so I have decided to try and make the outside look as good as it can be. Somewhere deep down it makes me feel a little better about the mammoth job we have taken on!

I agonised for a few weeks whether or not I should I keep our door red or change the colour. I then remembered it was the red door that made me fall in love with the house in the first place. So red it will was!! 

To start my blog I thought I would introduce our first and most likely forever home! <3
It's a huge project to undertake but thankfully we are young, fit, healthy and probably most importantly I'm a gal with big #DREAMS. So, here's hoping we have the patience and foresight to see this project through. :)
