I’m so sorry for my absence from the blog, I am currently in the middle of moving to Dublin! Luc, Heather and I moved in last night, and are right in the middle of completely re-doing the place….ripping all the carpets up, painting walls white, taking down curtains, fixing shutters and putting in furniture etc as it was completely unfurnished, which I love. Thanks to Andrew Clancy for the photos! (I, of course, neglected to take before photos but it was yellow walls and wine carpet galore…)
*It really is a work in progress, the mirror above the fire is still on it’s backing, another single divan bed/sofa thing will be going beside the fireplace, more rugs about the place etc etc etc..!
In one of the shots, you can see Mr.Pete Fagan hard at work, he started helping me on Tuesday morning and he’s still here, loading vans, pulling up nails, and eh…heading out for a few pints now. He’s a legend! Also, a huge thanks to my sister Roisin, brothers Eoin and Aran, Andrew Clancy, Laura Cunningham, Heather , Catherine and Danny Condren and Lucianne White for all of their help. Starbars.
This is my 16th move in the last ten years, the last being just six months ago. I think it’s safe to say I’m done. Feel free to remind me of this in about 8 months time, when I might be on the road again.

looks fab Blanaid! love the chandelier
Thanks Vanessa, that was there when we moved in! Thinking of painting it though….
And you have the fire going - homely already
Best wishes for you in your new home
It looks lovely! I really like the table/desk in the first photo & the raw wood floors.
Oh goodness, it looks beautiful, I can’t wait to see the shoot!
Love the vibe of the new place. I’ve clocked up 19 moves thus far so I can empathise with your pain!
Its going to be lush when you’re finished with it. Be sure to invite me to the housewarming party - oh and I will be staying overnight too!

Thank you so much Lorna!
Thank you Miss Milki, it’s on the way soon!
Thanks Alex, love your blog by the way…19! You’re a legend, in what space of time and to where etc? (I’m a curious thing)
Thank you Jacquie, next time you’re in Dublin, you’ve got a bed here! x
Blau, that’s so weird, we were saying the exact same thing earlier, fire lighting, wind howling, cosy throws on the sofa…heaven.

[...] It’s also particularly suitable for our new apartment, which some of you may remember, we tore asunder when we moved in…On taking the carpets up, we realised the floorboards were destroyed with paint and stain, but it looked kind of brilliant, so we left them as they are… See some of the images > here < [...]
