unexpected, suprising.
2024 was pretty low on big purchases but there was a few we had on our list and they didn’t disappoint!
At the top of my list for 2024 and probably stay here, is a bit of a tech item, but it is a robot vacuum and in particular the dreame.
I was so unsure if I was going to like it, use it, if it was going to be noisy. All of these things that just kept coming up.
We did some really, really deep research and the tech today has absolutely blown me away. I cannot imagine life without it.
It gives me so much time back and I feel so organised knowing that part of the house cleaning is done.
After lots of research we found that the dreame would suit us best. The self cleaning, the self refilling, the mopping, the vacuuming, everything in this device ticked a lot of boxes for our needs and our home.
It has completely surprised me at the level that it cleans, the quietness. There's so many positives. I actually don't have any negatives.
We purchased it in may of 2024 didn't take long before I realised this is amazing and started raving about it to my friends. It is incredible.
ART
Next item is an oversized art piece that we purchased from Bali overseas when we're on holidays,it is in our dining space. It brings so much personality and light and happiness to that space.
We had it reframed once we came home and I cannot imagine our home without this art. It is absolutely beautiful.
We brought it back with us in a big tube (oversized baggage) and then had a friend reframe it for us, and he done an amazing job. The timber is gorgeous.
I absolutely just adore this piece of art. And now every time I walk past it, I look, and it just fills me with happiness and the memories of us finding it on holidays.
The art sits in our dining area and brings so much life to the space. I love styling bright flowers from the garden with it. It brings so much inspiration and happiness.
No 3. Is finding vintage and thrifted pieces that really, really speak to me our house and making it work and bring some character, history and uniqueness to our space. This is one of my favorite ones. It is a little jug. It has some really, really pretty brown tones. It has texture to it. I love the little shape of it. I sometimes just pop it on some books or sometimes I pop a flower in it or some greenery.
So that is my favourite finds, purchases of 2024. Do you have a wish list for 2025? We have been working on it and little by little we will find the right items.
