Home Sweet Home

We have just returned home after 4 days away over the Easter break.  It was lovely to get away as a family and being in different surroundings was refreshing and invigorating. We stayed at my Brother and Sister in Law's place in Auckland. They have a beautiful home set in a secluded bush setting, which we were lucky enough to have use of for the weekend. The views over the bush and city beyond are just stunning.

I've come home with renewed enthusiasm for our home and garden. I will admit I have been struggling to find the motivation to work on my household projects on a daily basis. It seems what I really needed was a break from the daily grind and to come back with a fresh perspective.

Home always feels sweet when you have been away from it.  I want to use this momentum and get some ZB and LB (zero budget and low budget) makeovers underway to inject some life back into our space. I've got my sights set on the lounge/dining/kitchen space. It will mean I need to get super creative, but I'm feeling pretty good about it :-)
