I love being at home, I really do. In fact, I consider myself a “home buddy”. Nothing brings me greater joy than being at home with my family.
k
We bought our lovely house almost 4 years ago, and it’s been so fun to design the inside, as well as the outside of our home. My husband and I both love DIY projects. If you follow me on Snapchat (@WhatWouldVWear) you’ve probably seen some of my DIY projects, from refurbishing furniture to putting in new tile floors in our kitchen.
I prefer a clean and minimalistic approach when it comes to our home. I’m a total neat freak; I like my home organized and very clean. Anyhow, these pictures were taken after a long day of work. After work I like to relax with a hot cocoa, and a good book. Reading, by the way, is another passion of mine. I’m proud to say that my husband and I have our own, little library at home, and my son loves books, too! We couldn’t be happier that our son loves to read, well, we read to him, but you get the point. 🙂
On this note, I hope you will find some time to relax this weekend! Sending you all much love, and as always, thanks much for reading!

Am not a huge fan of reading but I will start soon. I am a neat freak too, my family thinks that I suffer from OCD. You have a beautiful home and this just makes me respect you more because you take your duty as a mum and a home maker very seriously just like your job. Have a lovely weekend darling!

Your home decor looks lovely Vanessa! I’m like you, I need things to be clean and organized. I just feel like I can’t get anything done when the house is messy. By the way I love those coffee mugs, very cool!

Well, you should see my home talking about minimalistic! Everything is white exept for the wooden floor. And it is very empty! Lol we love it like that! It is so relaxing to just read a while.
I have the same laptop cover from caseapp but haven’t got round to fitting it on yet lol. I know exactly what you mean, I love spending time at home too! Have a lovely weekend Vanessa!

Love it Vanessa! I’m moving today and one thing I’m excited about is decorating. I love being at home too, especially after a long hard day at work.
I’m going for the minimalistic approach. Can’t wait to start.
Thanks for sharing.

I’m also totally into the minimalist design and no clutter and tons of books—you and I would get along very well!;-) Have a fabulous weekend, xo!
You look so beautiful, as always, Vanessa! I, too, enjoy time spent relaxing, especially with my personality; I’m very type A and get stressed a bit easy, so it’s important for me to just lay and do nothing or unwind with a good book as well. I think it’s important for everyone to find the time to relax, in whatever way that may be, especially in this fast paced society we live in, day-to-day life can drain you! I love your laptop case and mug, that hot cocoa looks so yummy! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a lovely, relaxed weekend 🙂

Hi Vanessa, I wouldn’t have thought your were a ‘home buddy’ but I totally relate there is no greater joy than being at home with your loved ones!! That’s also awesome that you are a DIY’er, wish I had that talent but I’m not very good when it comes to DIY projects. You look naturally beautiful in these shots and love that cute mug. Thanks so much for your comment today on my new design that means a lot to me! Have a wonderful weekend doll:) xoxo

Stunning and such a cute post. I am a “neat freak” as well. It’s funny because in my fashion I love bold colours and vibrant patterns, but in my office space and home, I actually have more subtle colour even with patterns. I love open space and a very clean desk space.
