We had no choice but to do it all. There was no kitchen or indoor lavatory, the electrics got condemned the day we bought it and we had to take out every joist and floorboard downstairs due to damp! Meant there wasn’t much money left to make it high spec but we’ve got it comfortable and we like it! We can upgrade bits in time. I’m sure you’ll get there eventually.

A very nice and varied collection!!
Either really looked great, but I’m glad you went for the one that would have more use for you!! When I saw your question (several hours later) I thought that the taupe might steal use from your Coach Dreamer. And can I again say that I hope I have access to a Mulberry outlet!!
Ahhh - it was the leather that I remembered! So sorry I had the wrong style though!
I love this one, it’s a tad bigger than the PM - yes?
(It’s not like I carry a lot, but what I *do* carry - I need... plus if I can’t get Mr Cookie’s wallet in it - you know what he’ll call it!
)Love the Bal!
We´ve been here for 10 years, 5 of which we lived in a big trailer in front of the building. Somehow we have lost a bit of drive and got used to living in the upstairs of the house as it is- still really makeshift and no, there´s no "real" kitchen, only a multi functional room in which there is a big table from a school´s chemistry lab with a two plate cooker from the 60ies on it, a dishwasher, a washing machine..., but that´s my smallest concern as I hate cooking! What I miss are wardrobes- lots of them - and glass fronted cabinets!
All three of us are mad collectors and have far too many things, so we have been filling up the rooms, covering the brick walls with paintings and things, filled the rooms with found and given furniture and started to love it as it is. Money always seems to be going towards other things... the downstairs hasn´t been touched in a year and I seem to have filled most of it with prams that will have to go over to the storage house, before any kind of work is possible... I´m laughing about myself now! Imagine before I came here I lived in a nice house near Düsseldorf. Now I have got used to makeshift and actually are quite happy with how things are. It´s so simple, so easy, no worries about things being perfect, not too much house cleaning....
Hubby in contrary longs for finished rooms.
We will get there! One day- but don´t bet on this being soon.
For an instant, I owned that very SL Lou Lou, and then remember cross bodies are not really my thing.
I had a Bal in that same color, a small crossbody, don’t remember the name, which ended up the color of the handle stitches in yours, like extremely distressed denim. That was a serviceable bag.
Wow. I don’t know that I would be able to deal with all those prams, but your house sure sounds like fun!
For us it´s mostly fun. People who see it for the first time are usually torn between "cool" and "how can you live like this?"
I understand, I am torn, and I haven’t even seen it
Sounds like you’ve found a way of living that suits you and let’s you enjoy what you have. I’m an obsessive sorter so everything has to be done NOW! Probably the same reason I suddenly have to have new bags NOW!
It’s the mini but I can fit quite a lot. I don’t like the small since I can’t use crossbody
That´s something new learned today: the Antigona comes in lots of different sizes! I must admit I am not very knowledgable when it comes to bags. Not even about my passion, pre 2011 Dior bags. I enjoy the learning, though.
I bet your home is very charming and has lots of character.
