A little bit of weird: New Lamp in the Bedroom
So I don't know if you remember my post recently talking about 5 Ways to Make Your Dining Room Swoonworthy - and in that post, I said that every room needs something unexpected. Something a little weird like a little question mark that hovers over your head when you...
Framing Postcards as Art
Now please know I'm not going to patronise you with a proper how-to on this one. In fact, it's not really a how-to at all, it's just me sharing because ya know, I'm a blogger and therefore am naturally AN OVERSHARER*. *It's okay, I'm not going to tell you about any...

My new Serge Mouille MCL-R6 Inspired Bedroom Light Fixture
You may remember me talking about VOGA late last year - they are a company that produce replicated design classics in a really considered way. I spoke about my thoughts on mid-century designs that are legally replicated in a way that honours rather than 'steals' the...

Bedroom Updates: Collage Art and Habitat Frames
I'm pretty sure it'll come as no big surprise that I'm a fan of the ever popular gallery wall and the more eclectic, the better. With one quite large and in charge one in my dining room, I have to hold myself back from not creating more and more gallery walls...

Free for All Friday: Good News, Bad News and Decorating Fails
For a Friday, it's always good to be a bit random. So here's my random post of the week. I figured I'd start off with a random picture of a cat in glasses to buffer any negativity. via Did it work? Good, on to the stuff that's not so great... The Bad News: There is...
Easy Peasy Tutorial (and a decorating epiphany): How to Cover a Lampshade with Fabric
Amongst the projects for the bedroom I ticked off last week was getting new lampshades for the bedroom. The zebra shades with my new (old) gold bases was just a bit too 'bling bling' for the room but I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to go for. I bought some...

Free For All Friday: Admitting When You’re Wrong
I was hoping for 'Boho Glam'. What I ended up with was 'Circus'. Excuse the phone pic - it's even brighter in person. As much as I loved this quilt when I saw it on Urban Outfitters' website and as much as the colours work perfectly in the room, even I can see that...
Bedroom Wishlist: Chest of Drawers and Lighting Inspiration
I still haven't purchased those Ikea RAST chests of drawers as I spoke about in my last post but I'm hoping to do so soon. At the moment, I'm trying to save a few quid and not be so quick to spend money (sometimes easier said than done). Well, I'm happy to report...

Bedroom Updates: So What’s Keeping Me Awake with Excitement?
For those readers of mine that are not based in the UK, let me just tell you this: The weather, considering it's supposedly summer, has been pretty abysmal. It's been colder and rainier than it should be and so, I'm feeling a little ripped off. Aside from a...
