Moving On Up

As I pack my belongings and possessions, ready for the drive to Holland, I have the mammoth task of sorting through a life time of memories. Throwing out old stuff can prove rather therapeutic and the process of sorting things into piles; 'charity shop' 'Ebay' 'Holland' 'attic' and basically organising my life,  gives the perfect opportunity to reassess what I need and want, and what can move on to find a new home.


I am ridiculously sentimental and letting go of the treasures I have collected over the years is quite difficult, so into storage they go! My dad has created a brilliant space in my parents loft, where many of my possessions will now live, until I eventually settle into a place of my own. Bags upon bags of charity shop stuff will make its way to the land of good will, hopefully bringing something useful to a new owner; one mans trash is another's treasure, and all that. And my Ebay account has never seen so much action.


As well as packing for my move to the Netherlands, I have given my bedroom at my parents house, to my brother, who has lived in the box room since forever. So once the dust settled with the organising stage, I moved into his old room and created a little space in the tiny cave that I will live in for the next few days, and of course return to upon visits home.


For record keeping sake, here are a few sneaky peaks of my bedroom, before it was packed into boxes and bags.

// My precious //

// I forgo my beautiful custom built, Mexican three door wardrobe… For now ; ) //

// And my ever evolving, always chaotic and frequently productive desk //

This is a fun little post that I will enjoy looking back on, as things continue to change and develop in my life. A new chapter has begun and many pages are turning, doors open and opportunities arise. As I forge my way ahead during this next stage, I will hold these simple images and plentiful memories close to my heart and use them as inspiration for homes to come. 

Do you have any tips for storage and organisation in a small or shared living space? If so, I am all ears!!
