A New Addition

One's clan is about to expand by a little one. Its very exciting indeed.

One has been very restrained in indulging the excitement to date, however on the weekend, One figured that with 5 weeks till due date, it was time to get a little prepared...

This of course involved hitting up baby shops and buying pretty much everything that was unisex (little one is currently known as Neicnew in this ahouseofonesown).

Of course Fab Sister-in-law doesn't need more washing to do and so One through things through the wash. Result was confirmation of an obsession...


Seriously, the little socks, the singlets, the onesies! What is not to adore?

This is One obsessed Uncle-to-be signing off...

Another home and a brand new kitchen

There is nothing One loves more in the home than a kitchen. Sure there are good times relaxing on a fabulous couch, hours spent sleeping in a comfortable bed but nothing quite compares to what One can do with a fabulous kitchen. It is One's firmly held view that a visitor to a home should never leave hungry or thirsty or wanting in some other way.

When ahouseofonesown was first spied, One and the SO did not think there was much to do and indeed there hasn't been. A fresh paint job and some window furnishings and that is the extent of it.

However, the kitchen exhibited signs of neglect that simply needed to be freshened up.

In true P-T renovation styles, the SO and One hit the renovation bandwagon with gusto and came out with a simple plan. New appliances and bench tops. With a little help from our friends to work out exactly which bench top.

Now its part way through the week and a half implementation process and this is where we have landed:

Plus most excitingly, good friends are visiting at the moment so G&A will be here to celebrate the finished kitchen (touch wood) come Thursday!
