Letting Go And Moving On // Plus A Winner

As you all know, I'm moving house in a couple of weeks. Well, actually I'm moving country!

Not only is there a tight time schedule and a budget for the move, but we'll also be moving to a furnished apartment, as that's how most of them come in Jakarta. So, that means selling off most of our possessions except for our very favourite items. As much as I'd love to ship the lot, since this home has been a labour of love, put together over the past 4 years, it just isn't cost effective or even necessary with many items.

However, as much as I realise they are only material things and getting rid means I can get new when we're there, it's still tough to see it all go. I'm passionate about my home and the fact that it was a challenge to find so many of the things in it out here in Korea, just makes me love it even more. But, day by day, I'm learning to let go, reminding myself that it's not really the things in a house that make it a home. And when I feel like I can't possibly throw out/donate/sell one more thing, I console myself with Pinterest and plan how I'm going to style the next one. So, if you've been wondering where I'd got to for the last week, now you know - sorry for being MIA! I was either busy sorting out my house and all the arrangements for the move....or I was on Pinterest! I've mainly been thinking about the living room, which comes with a black sectional, here's a little of my favourite 'Pinspiration'

I'm torn between the bright, cheerful pops of color and the calm simplicity of the mainly monochrome rooms...
