We’ve been in constant DIY mode, to put it mildly.. 🥴 I started October off, dislocating my kneecap, that was insane and painful and totally unexpected! So I’m out of the DIY game for the moment, but D has been pushing forward, getting the living room ready for Christmas. The 17th of Nov, I’m going to an examination of my knee at a private hospital, the only reason I’m going to a private hospital, is due to the long wait list at the public hospitals and in Denmark we have a max 30 day wait to be examined. If it’s longer than 30 days, your entitled to go to a private hospital. I would have been waiting to be seen till next year, so I’m thankful for the 30 day max system! 😳
We’ve chosen to stain our windowsills white, they were mahogany and very dark.. Our style is Scandinavian, light and modern – which does not really go with mahogany at all. So they got sanded down, stained white and the result is amazing.
D ended up having to spray paint the radiators, they were yellow and just plain old looking, but the finished result is awesome and fits the living room much better! We chose a matte white for the radiators, normally they are glossy, but I’m really pleased that we chose the matte white, it looks great.
We ended up celebrating Halloween, since I’m home full time with my knee, I needed some cheering up and D managed to put up decorations – although I helped carve the pumpkins! Mine is the little one, D’s is a masterpiece as always lol, he is way too good at carving pumpkins, seriously! It’s not fair, I’ve only carved pumpkins for like three years, in Denmark Halloween is a newly adopted thing, so I’m not used to pumpkin carvings at all, but hey I made a fair attempt! 🥴
The sealing got a once over too! We painted it with “Trip Trap” paint where you can see the wood through the paint, which was just what we wanted! We have a theme I guess? 😂 Our floor is white stained too, windowsills and now the sealing.. Not bad, I adore it!
D carved out shelves for our square hole in the dining room, it looks amazing so far, and yes, you probably guessed that we are staining these shelves white too.. 😅 They are mahogany, and will fit in will with the windowsills.
COLOR you guys! We needed some color, so we had a curtain company stop by, take some measurements and we ended up loving this greyish green color, and we are getting this color everywhere in the living room. I think we really needed a color, and the grey-green will fit our furniture so well and also let in the natural light and create a cozy atmosphere in the living room and dining room.
At the very end of October, my roses started to blossom and also my fuchsia is in full flower! It’s beautiful, but also a little strange.. The weather has been extremely mild in Denmark, considering that it’s autumn. This is our first winter in the house, I can’t wait to experience it! It’s all so unreal, I still can’t believe all of this is ours, I’m so happy and I can’t wait to get to experience all of the years seasons here, in our house. ❤️
I hope everyone is staying safe, this year for Halloween we gave the kids gloves, so they could still have candy, and all the candy we had, was wrapped. England is closing down again, I’m worried about my bonus babies and their family, D’s family and the friends we have in England.
I hope everyone is staying safe, social distancing and no matter where you are from, whatever country, I hope you are safe and that your government is doing their best to keep you safe. I hope that 2021 will be a much better year, but I’m worried about the future and for our future generation. How will life be, with this pandemic, and how bad will it actually get, before it gets better? So many questions..
I’ll see you guys online x
Life as Mia
