KITTY AND WASHI TAPES

Hello everyone! this is Iani, my kitty... she looks a little disgruntled in this photo, probably because she has eaten the last of her favourite treats and now she will have to go a while without them; they are little heart shaped bits of duck breast and they are really posh, that's why we only buy them occasionally.

My boyfriend and I have recently moved to Florence (Italy) from London in order to work for my father's company here (I'm Italian and my boyfriend is English).

I already miss London loads and I find it really hard to adapt to the Italian lifestyle, even more than Sam  (bf) does.
However we are trying to make the most of it and I am trying to keep my "Britain cravings" under control thanks to the wonderful planet that is the Interwebs! 

In fact when I am in Italy I always feel really isolated from the rest of the world so that's why I've decided to start a blog.

One of the most exciting things in the near future is that we are about to move from my parents' house
to a one bedroom flat for the three of us (Iani, Sam, and I) !!!

I LOOOOVE DIY so I can't wait to have a place to decorate! even if it's rented there will be so much that can be done to transform this flat into our cosy little home :)

In my excitement for the new house prospect I have bought loads of Washi tapes, from Etsy and I can't wait for the thousands of uses I can find for it.

I am still waiting for some to come in the post but these ones I got from ChambyandCor and the are sooooooooooo cute! 

The first three are a bit simpler and I think will be great for decorating shelves and making patterns, while the other two are a bit more peculiar, especially the green ones with little white buildings, which is quite Christmas-y but I just could not leave it because it's too pretty...Oh well, the upside of washi tape is that you can apply it and remove it super easily.

I plan to take lots of pictures of the new house and record all of the DIY things we are going to do. We have never lived on our own and always house shared as we were at uni in London, that was really fun and I would not change it for the world but now I am very excited to get on with life and be able to actually live in a nice place ( London is great for everything but housing).
