What a wild and crazy day! I’ve been so busy but couldn’t wait until this moment when I would sit down before my computer and talk to you. I really love connecting with you each day through this blog, it really keeps me going… Especially now as I’m living in a totally new country — I find I need my blog more than ever because the connections I make online give me so much positive energy and motivation to get things done.
So, how are you doing today? All is well in my corner, I’ve been a bit nutty with my schedule this week and tomorrow I will go to see a property I’ve had my eye on for a second viewing… and my husband is coming with me this time (he sends me out for the first rounds knowing how particular I am, so this makes it easier for him!). I can’t wait to hear what he thinks of what I’ve found… If he likes it I will be jumping up and down. If he doesn’t, well… I’ll move on to the next property and perhaps it will be even better. I always say, Thorsten knows best and 99.9% of the time, he does.
And though I’ve just moved here, since we are living in our vacation apartment which was never meant to be a place of full-time residence, I’m already feeling cramped and ready for my own home office space again so I want to move soon. Working at the dining room table is very demotivating as I’m not one who can easily focus like this and finding space to take photos is also a challenge. I do so much better locked away inside of a room alone! Plus I want my mommy! I am dying for her to come stay with us and she’ll need a bedroom because I’m hoping to host her for at least a month next Spring or Summer. Oh I can’t wait to have her see my world here… Our big appointment is tomorrow afternoon, so we shall see! But I tell you this… when we move I will not be going anyway after that for a long, long time. You know this feeling, right? You just burn out from packing, unpacking, packing, unpacking. After the next move, I’ll be done for about 100 years. :)
So what shall we talk about today? Well I want to first and foremost thank Carolin for interviewing me for her article, Zeig her Deine Zimmer: Wohn-Communitys und Home-Style Blogs, all about design blogs that appeared today in a German newspaper called Badische Zeitung. It was fun to have an interview with a journalist here, and I like how the article turned out. It was in the newspaper this morning and online too so it’s great exposure for decor8 in Germany, that’s for sure!
I’ll be back soon with some things to blog about… stay tuned! :)

Moving is supposed to be one of the most stressful things to do. I’ve moved five times in the last six years so I know how draining it can be! :) I hope you get a place that you like so good luck tomorrow.

Hi Holly! Best of luck on your search for a home! It must be very exciting. :-)

What an adventure for you. I hope this property is the perfect one for you…or if it’s not I hope the next one is.

Good luck with the property. I know what it is to want to share your new world with your mommy, patience it would come ^3^

Holly! I ADORE your blog. Even through all your busy-ness, thank you for posting such beautiful things. I really enjoy reading what you’ve written because you do it in such a way that makes me want to celebrate beauty rather than go out and buy a bunch of stuff. Your blog is such an uplifting and lovely place to visit, so THANK YOU!! and good luck with your up-and-coming adventures.

Hi Holly,
I think you got the wrong Nadine. I didn’t comment on your post today. That was a different Nadine.
Best,
Nadine

I so hope it works out for you, I will keep my fingers crossed!
