What’s making me giddy

This room.
Connected to this room.
And this lovely beast. And there’s a scullery a step away as well!
It’s been just about a week since we moved into our new house. This has been the smoothest move ever! We love our new home–it is a combination of all of the good things from each of the five homes we’ve lived in over the last four years (two of those homes were in Houston). My friend Kim asked me if all of our stuff fit in the new house (a valid concern!), and I am happy to say yes, everything fits perfectly. Roxi said that it seems as though this house was made for us.
Speaking of Roxi, she has been such an invaluable help this time–unpacking and organizing my studio and our junk room, helping with the kitchen, running errands with me, etc. What a gal! She told me it’s because we haven’t had Internet, LOL! In the comments last week, Kerri mentioned that it might be nice to be unplugged for a few days. Indeed it was. Funny how much work can be done without modern day distractions. Haha!
It has been so nice to move to a place where I don’t have to figure out every single detail (and try to translate every word). That can be so energy draining. At least this time I have a bit of a clue about stores, knowing a little about how to get around and how to navigate these English roads whilst driving on the left!
Oh, in case anyone is wondering, we give our new Nespresso machine 5/5 stars. It is AWESOME. You can see that someone was very excited to receive it last week :-)
Ja, Aledys, wij eten één of twee koekjes met koffie!

So I’m looking at my calendar…does two weeks from tomorrow work for you? :)
I want to marry that stove.
Okay, WOW!! That stove is fabulous!!
That room and stove look amazing!!! I bet you are so excited to start cooking!!!
The new place looks gorgeous. I think you’re a different person than when you last lived in England, for one thing, you speak a little Dutch!
FABULOUS!!
LOVE those windows! What a great house, even if the rest of it doesn’t measure up to these photos! 8-)
i think each time we find a new house, we know better what we want. so glad it’s been a smooth move for u.
Love it love it love it!!
Now THAT is a kitchen. Gorgeous. Looks like you have landed in Blissville.
I’m so envious of your wonderfully big kitchen. And that stove! SIX burners. I hope you will be staying a while. :)
