I love it when a plan comes together

I’ve been feeling really grown up lately, not only because of unidentified aches and pains and a stack of bills, but because we are really getting somewhere with our home decor, we figured we would be living in our little cottage for at least another two years so we might as well make it as cosy as possible. So little by little we have been buying and incorporating things and it’s finally starting to show 🙂

We bought a new bed, our old one was a loaner from my mom’s guest room so now it’s official we are on our way to being proper grown ups hehe. I’m not a fan of buying beds though because I can’t tell the difference between  one base set and another in the shop anyway and don’t like giving away loads of money if I can’t physically see where the money went. (damn these things are expensive-ja ja lifetime/quality/pillow top/no turn/blah blah-still can’t see it though) But one night on new bed and I was sold 🙂

What was my point? oh yes, our redecoration is coming together nicely, Rob bought me these two prints, which he knew I would love, and I do, so it is seriously inspiring our tv-room decor (I know I said it’s really his room-but no harm in helping)

We are now in the process of finding a sleeper couch for that room, something like this, wish us luck – can’t wait to share finished product  🙂

And so we made a Friday out of it

So just for the heck of it, Rob and I joined two of our close friends (Robyn and Ryan) for a “night on the town” on a Tuesday night nogal (see I’m not that old).
We went for cocktails at Finezz straight after work where I had two rose water mojitos (two for the price of one-hehe), those are too yummy for words, seriously! think I found my new favourite drink.
Then it was off to to Bain Street Grill for their Tuesday burger night, Rob believes their burgers have spoilt all other burgers for him (he’s dramatic like that – that’s why we’re a perfect match) I believe I should have skipped the burger and had two lindt brownies instead 🙂

Here are some pics from last night: (they are a bit dark, because I just used my bb)

Finezz cocktails rock sox

Rob trying to ignore my photo taking habits

Bain Street Grill has a little fireplace, how cute is that

They also have quaint decor

THE BURGER!

Could not leave Lindt brownie on my plate long enough for a pic, oops

Tuesdays are Shoesdays: comfort all the way

What is your, “I’m going nowhere or I just want to relax shoe”? Mine are my black uggs, I’m not wearing them at the moment, even though I kinda wish I was.
I used to hate the very idea of uggs untill I fit on a pair of my sister’s and found out they are so darn comfortable! It’s like mac and cheese for your feet because; you know it’s not the most fancy thing you could get in to, but sometimes nothing else would work 🙂
