It’s been three weeks since we moved into our new home (although it feels like longer), and to say I’m really happy here doesn’t quite cover how I feel. Moving has made me realise something I thought I already knew: liking the space you live in is so incredibly important. It changes the way you prioritise your life and the way you interact with the people you share it with.
When we lived in our last flat, I was constantly out – either working, with friends or in London and when Josh and I were talking about getting a pet back then we thought it might force me to spend more time and put everything (relationships included) first. I feel like I’m stepping into slightly deep territory here but I looking back I wasn’t happy in that space for a long time (I say a long time… we were there for a little over 9 months), it might have had beautiful fire places and high ceilings, but it also had a lot of problems and just wasn’t right for us.
The second we had all of our things in place in our new flat it felt like home. It felt like a home that you could have friends round to, that you could have pets in (and can have pets in – wooo). Our landlords seem to be completely on our wave length and we can change anything we like. Most importantly they genuinely wanted us to be happy here which completely warms my heart. I false joked the other day to them that I was never leaving. I AM NEVER LEAVING.
Having a space to live in that is perfect for us has changed how we spend our time in it. It’s changed how we treat our possessions and ourselves. Although we plan on having pets now, it’s not this that will be keeping me grounded, it’s the fact that I love coming home (well, providing I don’t walk into spiderwebs on the way into the flat). I love cleaning (to the point where I think I’m turning into my mum) and I love spending time in a flat that I love. We’re paying more for this flat than our last, and although it’s still incredibly reasonably priced for what it is, we don’t mind as it’s a reflection of our hard work. The only thing I’m not loving? I’ve become that “no shoes on the carpet” person. DOH.
Glad you're happy in your new place, these little detail shots look so pretty! Do you get to decorate there?

It's great that you've already made your house a home! Home is the most amazing sanctuary and yours looks super cozy π

In Sweden we never ever even enter a house with shoes on (we leave them just inside the door in the hallway), so no shoes on the carpet seems really the only way to me! Haha π Anyway, it's lovely to hear that you're so happy with your new flat π I really look forward to seeing more photos of it!

Wonderful photos as always!

Completely understand how you feel about being unhappy in your old flat but not really realising it at the time! My boyfriend & I have just moved out of our first place together & I feel weirdly relieved to be outta that place, even though I thought I loved it!

You always have the most gorgeous looking flowers.
I had exactly the same as you! When last year my parents decided to renovate half of our house, including my room (yes, I'm living with my parents, but I'm 15) I was like: "No way! I don't want any changes". I was really scared and confused. And when I came back home from my grandparents' house (I was there for almost month), and saw my new room I realised how much I hated that old one.
Glad you're happy, too β₯
I know what you mean, I don't feel comfortable in a space unless I LOVE it. By the way, all your plants are so pretty!
I know what you mean.
Love these pictures so much:))
I'm glad you're happy in your new home. Lovely photos!

That's great that you have found such a place! I personally went through the same with a house where I lived – I left way before my tenancy ended because I couldn't stand the place. Also I found myself leaving at 8 in the morning packed with all my stuff for the day (that is two heavy bags) and not returning until 11pm or so…It must be such a relief to like the place you're in π xx
It is so important to be happy and comfortable in your own home as it is your personal space.
I think it should be the greatest joy to be looking forward to coming home after a long day out.

I'm glad you're happy in your new place! It's horrible living somewhere that doesn't feel right at all so it's great when you find a perfect new home that feels like home! Your photos are stunning π β₯
So lovely to hear how happy you are in the new place! It's really easy to forget or skim over how important places are in our happiness. I adore the photos too – pot plant envy right here!
Loving the place that we stay is very important. Home is where the heart is and comfort is important. I love bright lights and lots and lots of natural lights shining in =)
Beautiful photography, Suzie! I agree that loving where you live is so, so important. There's such a difference between a house and a home and I'm so happy that you've found the right place for you. Your living space should be somewhere you love to come back to at the end of the day – is there a flat tour video on the cards soon? Just a thought…

Glad you like where you live. I know exact what you mean in our last place there was damp and a whole host of other compromises and when I moved into our current place the relief and happiness was unbelievable.
I'm so glad you're happy, Suzie! I hope everything works out π

Really glad you're so happy in your new place! I think one thing that plays on people's minds when they move is wondering if it will be the same actually living there as it was looking at it, but it's great when you find somewhere you really love. And it's looking beautiful!
