When I first started this blog in 2011 I was still in my 20’s and at that time was mostly concentrating on trying out and reviewing high-end make-up and skin care products. As the years passed I have become more interested in healthy living and lifestyle issues but most recently after moving home I became the proud owner of my own apartment for the very first time. I managed to save my down-payment with some help from The Smart Person’s Guide To Saving Money and can’t quite believe I am now a home-owner.

Naturally, I want to furnish and accessorise it with the best items I can afford so I have been setting to work trying to find my own home style with the help of my favourite home interiors blog and house and home guides; and the help of the Interiors company By Design.

A surprising source of inspiration too has been my grandmother who went super-contemporary when she opted for live-in care and had a young carer come to live in her home. It’s now all crisp white bed linen, pale wood floors and Phillipe Starck chairs. Not a trinket or frill in sight now she has homecare – good for her!

Now just some decisions to be made… Is it going to be sleek and contemporary with large white porcelain tiles on the floor and the clean lines of a modern sofa from Natuzzi or shall I go for a more natural feel with wooden flooring and a big squidgy sofa from Loaf? I’m enjoying just dreaming…

So I hope you will enjoy this shift in focus and my new life journey as a home owner – I am excited by all the possibilities even my small apartment can offer even though it is really small and lacks storage (I might have to find a self storage unit to store all my out of season stuff). Becoming a home owner has opened up a whole new world for me so come along for the ride.
