Home Tour Part 3: My hiding place...

Those of you who have followed our little home tour so far, will know that I've been on a bit of a mission to tackle one room at a time, changing things up a bit, re-organising and having a good old clear out in order to share our 'Home Sweet Home' with you. Today, it's the turn of the master bedroom. This has been the hardest room so far to photograph. I don't know why. Perhaps I find it a little difficult to share my most intimate space with you! This is my hiding place, my retreat. It's where I recharge my batteries, dream sweet dreams, and where my girlie side really come to the foreground. Poor hubby has never (well, almost never!) complained about sleeping in a pink, lace enveloped paradise of femininity! He has threatened to stick some surfing posters on the walls, but so far it's been empty threats! Phew...

Please forgive me if there is a bit of repetition here from a previous post! I did share a little furniture move-around with you a while back, and it might creep in here again. But, I thought I'd be thorough with the new tour! I'm not going to do as much waffling on as in the previous instalments of our home tour. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

A place of rest...

 

A place to read...

 

 

     

A place to reflect...

Somewhere to write...

 

 

It's where my shoes live...an 'oh so happy place'!



 

It's where I play dress up, figuring out my own style, or lack there of!

 

 



 



A place for happy memories...

My veil from our wedding day still hangs happily in a corner of our room!

 

 

The princess (and her pea!) have finally found a home to rest!

 

 

 

 A place for favourite things...

Some thrifted treasures...

Our retreat...

 

So, a quick look into our 'Home Sweet Home'! I hope you enjoyed having a nosey-around! Until next time!

 

Blessings, Tania ♥♥♥



 

 

Friday Fairy Tales

When I was a little girl, we lived in a tiny town in South Africa, called Zeerust. Back then life was simple. We used to walk to school barefoot, fish for tadpoles in the river, and explore the graveyard whilst making up ghost stories to terrify each other! As it was such a small town, the local library was a stone's throw away from our house. I'll never forget my first trip to the library. It smelled of glue and paper, was serene and quiet, but the best discovery was through it's back windows. Whilst choosing my books, I spotted a crystal clear, blue swimming pool. As it turned out, it was the public pool, and was free to use for all the residents. You can imagine my delight! Every afternoon from then on, was spent either in the pool, or next to it with a good book. This is when I fell in love with Ladybird books. I would read the same fairytales over and over again, and one of my favourites by far was 'The Princess and the Pea'.

I used to love the idea of sleeping on so many mattresses. And I didn't like peas then! The idea of squashing one under all those layers appealed to me in a big way!

I've been wanting to make an applique collage of this quirky tale for some time now, and last night I stayed up until 3:15am doing just that!

Do you have a favourite fairytale that has had a special little nook in your heart since childhood. Do tell us about it! Childhood is so precious. I would love to hear a little about your fond memories!

Happy Friday!
