Like I
said, the updates are not quite done (they never really are). I have only been living in my home for nine
months and so while definitely livable, it’s still in the finishing phase. The
phase were I make it our home, with our personality stamped on top of a home
that fits our live. I say ours because this update is inspired by my adorable
daughter. She loves minimal clothing at home (I have no idea where she got that
from..) but yet will move the bathmat from basin to shower to loo to
back again. I realised recently I do exactly the same. Like mother, like daughter and
like daughter like mother. And then the littlest one pretty much jumps from the
shower to the mat to my arms because "it’s cold", "the floor is cold" and "I'm cold" or I’m tightly twisted around his cute little finger.. Either way, time for a fix.
I was
originally planning to velcro the mats together but I like the looser, more casual
effect and being able to easily change it up. Plus no sewing. Just simple light mats, but all with a different textural pattern and one stand-out mat in yellow
because it is such a happy, fun colour. Coincidentally it turns out that a few of the orchid pots from storage are yellow. I guess yellow is my happy colour. The mats spread out across the floor like
tetris blocks making cold winter feet a thing of the
past.
I moved my orchids to the windowsill because the humidity of
the bathroom is the perfect spot for these tropical beauties. I added in a few bits of green so there is more to
look at then just sprouts. The heat and greenery makes me feel like I’m finally on holiday in a lush, tropical locale. And if I squint while taking a hot
shower, it feels like I have a tropical outdoor shower in the middle of winter or at least a tropical greenhouse.
