Freaking Out!

Why is it when you ask mover to be super delicate with something they do the opposite?




This is my Roche Bobois table laying long ways up on it's delicate French curved legs! Seriously!?!? I am so upset!

Furniture for Sale!

Only two weeks until we have to leave our beautiful flat and we just now found a new place to live.  Thank goodness!

The bad news, it's a much smaller FURNISHED flat and makes me feel like I have died and gone to Ikea Hell!   

I like Ikea, but to live in a flat where every single item is from Ikea down to the towels....it's just too much for me.  It's only for 6 months, it's only for 6 months, I can do this!

Any who, we don't really have room to store all my hords of furniture and must sells loads of items.  Please visit here if you need a sofa, table, baby furniture, etc:

Considering any and all offers!

Feeling Kinda Blue....

...about moving from our flat we have been in for the past 4 years.  We have to be out in 4 weeks and have had zero luck finding a new place to live for the moment.  Totally not stressed.  No really I am freaking out! Trying to find another awesome huge flat in Lausanne is like impossible.

So I went shopping, with the hubby's okay of course.  I saw this yellow rug at Ikea for my office!  Not sure if I will have an office at the next place we will call home, but rugs you can take with you anywhere.

 My youngest son loves this rug!  Would not stop laying on it.

My cure for feeling blue, is adding a little sunshine/yellow to your life/room.

Ikea Rug Frustration

Many, many moons ago I wrote about the Ikea Stockholm rug here.  I needed a huge and affordable rug to go under my big a** dinning table here in Swissyland. 

Affordable and Swissyland normally do not go together, but I found a large rug at Ikea (250 x 350cm) for only 399CHF!  Really good deal to me.

Is it the softest and most beautiful rug ever?   No, it's really rough actually. 

Is it large enough to cover all 9feet by 3 feet under my dinning table and then some? Yes. 

Will it keep the chairs from scratching the floor?  Yes.

Have I been trying to buy this rug since November 2010?  YES!!!

Ikea is teasing me.  Everytime they show it's in stock, I show up and they just sold the last 250 x 350 size rug.

Seriously does every household in VAUD have this rug in their home?  How can this rug be sold out every single month?

My poor wooded floors that will no longer be ours in 4 more weeks, I tried, I am sorry but you are kind of strached up now.

Oh Quinny Buzz, How I will miss you.....

I just sold my apple green Quinny Buzz I purchased five years ago in Amsterdam and I am feeling kind of sad.  Is this normal?  As I was showing the super cute new to be parents the stroller and all it's gadgets, I was thinking of seeing my kids as infants in the Dreami Cot and how cute they were....

I think the couple could feel I was sad and joked about sending me pictures.  At least the stroller is going to a good home.

Good bye Quinny Buzz, it was lovely while it lasted!

Sorry Charlie....

...for the major lack of posts.  We were moving to Minnesota this July and now we are staying in Switzerland.  My life is like a yo-yo, up and down and all around.

We terminated our current flat lease in Feb and now have to move out by July 31st.  It's not possible to get our lease extended either, our flat has been sold and has new owners moving into it August 2nd.

Where the heck are we going to find an equally awesome new place in Lausanne to live on such short notice?  Where are my kids suppose to go to school.  Ahhhhhhh!

Just a little busy at the moment.

Please excuse while I take a little break from home decor.

Cheers,

Moi Chaussures

Okay, so last fall I put all my spring/summer sandles in a garbage bag.  Next I placed this bag of shoe treasures by our front door for my hubby to place in our cave for safe keeping.  Oh I had some fabulous comfortable Born and BCBG wedge sandles in this bag that I had just brought back from the US from our holiday last summer. I had not even had a chance to wear most of them.

This same day we were also using these same black garbage bags to put unwanted clothing and shoes in to be donated.  Can you see where this is going?

Low and behold I have been searching for this bag of lovely shoes for over a month now since the weather has been so warm this spring in Lausanne.  I finally broke down and paid our babyitter to come by during the afternoon and watch the kids for FOUR hours while I tore our cave apart trying to find my bag of beautiful summer wedges.

The cave is now cleaned out, but still no bag of shoes to be found, BUT I did find an old bag of clothes that were suppose to be donated last fall. 

Now hubby is away on business and guess what he is bringing me back this weekend!

These COACH black wedges! Woo Hoo!

It is only one pair of shoes, but a fabulous comfortable pair and it matches one of my bags!  Always an upside to things!

I am keeping my eye out for someone wearing my 'accidentally donated' NEW wedge sandles around Lausanne!
