Domestic Goddess

Today I'm playing house wife. It wasn't exactly intended but I find it difficult to focus on important things when everything around me is a mess, focus in one area of my life tends to ripple and affect all the others. Around exam time it's a crucifying focus on revision etc that means I have a perfect bedroom, eat really healthily and exercise. But that's when the pressure is highest. Other times, my rooms a mess and take yesterday as an example the flatmates and I ate chinese food and watched films all night (Hook, Superbad and Knocked Up - all amazing choices if I do say so myself). But that's meant today I was still in the eugh I really can't be arsed mood. So I'm taking a leaf out of Tom's book and going to the library this evening having organised my life during the day. Washing towels, bedding, washing up pots AND for the first time in my life I've made a massive cottage pie! (It's also a thank you to Mia for girly-fying our humble abode). Anyway, I'm not the most skilled cook, and we have no potato peeler, so it's not been easy. But hey presto... maybe there's hope for me to live up to my Granny/Nana/Mum's cooking yet. Maybe. 

Speaking of being a domestic goddess though, and because I need an excuse to post these photos I've been collecting. Lately I've been thinking about what my dream kitchen will look like. Why on earth have I been thinking about that? Well if you haven't already seen it, watch Russell Howard's new DVD 'Right Here, Right Now'. The whole thing is on youtube, and it is chuffing hilarious, but honestly now let's not be pirates it's definitely worth buying. There's a bit in it when he mentions the joy of seeing the look on your girlfriend's face when you suggest buying kitchen ware that doesn't match. "There is a dream kitchen in my mind and you will not ruuuin it!"
Lollage. 


So I present to you just a snippit of my dream kitchen inspiration...

I'm not 100% sure about the pattern on this anthropologie chair but I do think every kitchen should have two comfy seats for having a cup o' tea and a catch up in.
