Sweet Home – The First Ideas for Setting Up

I know the feeling of living out of boxes for months after a move, but since I was fortunate enough to be in a job-seeking phase while building this new life, I had time to unpack. Special thanks to my three cellar rooms, which gladly took in every box containing things not immediately needed.

I tried to avoid the usual mistake I always make: “I know this isn’t in the right place, but I’ll deal with it when I have time,” only to dodge it for years as if I had concreted its guard post forever. Well, I tried, but it didn’t always work out. Nevertheless, with just one week of organizing, a very lovable little inner world has taken shape—a place where both the boy and I happily come home to.

Welcome to our home!
…at the beginning of a new start, which looked something like this in the first days:

With my worn-out plants on the windowsill, so they’re out of the way while I calm the reigning chaos inside:

The first tough evening (which didn’t get the better of us!). I remember I was too afraid to use the gas stove after 14 years of cooking on a ceramic hob, so I prepared the pea cream soup for the blender in a steamer on the table 😅 (since then, I’ve made friends with every kitchen appliance, but the oven could tell some stories about me before we got everything straightened out):

The last time I looked like I’d been pulled out of a centrifuge was during my Krav Maga instructor training. It seems a move can easily be just as intense:

The first awakening after we cuddled together on the only assembled piece of furniture, listening to the sounds of the new home—and I thought: now we’re really here, I’ve already overcome the biggest challenge:

Az első reggel a teraszunkon ami itt virradt ránk és az első kávé, amit oly sok követett azóta de még mindig nem tudok betelni egyikkel sem 🙂

One of those busy working days that kept chasing each other in August…

…so that in the end, we can truly be where we are meant to be!
