I’ve been feeling a tad down in the dumps today, boo-hoo, living
away from home is tough at times, so I have decided to give my room a winter
(???) clean and organise all the home items I have bought as of late. I am
definitely of the ‘tidy room, tidy mind’ mindset and I find when my room is
organised and tidy, it makes me feel so much more positive and motivated.

BEDDING
I recently bought a bedding set which I have had my eye on
for a good while now! In fact, my sister has wanted it for a while too! It's from Morrison's of all places and was around £14 for a double duvet set, I believe. It ties
in with my duck egg blue wardrobes and I just love the Cath Kidston vibe, so
pretty and girly.
FAIRY LIGHTS
I am of the belief that fairy lights make everything cosy and homely, they really
transform a room. And you don’t have to shell out a huge amount on them either!
Bog standard battery operated lights will do, I got mine for a ridiculously
cheap price HERE on Amazon and I really love the way they gently glow, perfect
for cosy nights in with a glass of wine in hand and some good TV, gosh I sound
old.
LAMPS
On a similar note to fairy lights, lamps also transform a
room. This one caught my eye for a mere £18 in Wilkinsons, in the shape of a birdcage with a glass bird perched on top. It’s a real
statement piece and is a perfect mix of classy, pretty and vintage.
Another of my Wilkinsons purchases was this wooden lettering, adding to the bird theme I seem to have accidentally adopted.
PERSONALISED TOUCHES
Photo frames with pictures of loved ones inevitably add a
personal touch to any room and this week I finally got round to printing out
all those instagram selfies with my friends and family. Actual photographs have
such power and presence, it’s so rare for me to actually hold a photograph
these days, so these are pretty special to me. I went for a mixture of frame
designs, mainly wooden to add to the vintage, shabby chic look and to match the
wooden drawers; effortless yet effective. I also have two small canvases in my room which are in black and white of my friend Hollie and I, they were a gift for my 21st birthday, I love these!
CANDLES
I am a sucker for candles, Yankee, plain tea lights, cute candle
holders, anything. I am a huge fan of
Christmas scented candles in the winter, the cinnamon Yankee candle is my all
time favourite, I have various different candles dotted all around my room. I
also own fake flame candles which were also from Wilkinsons which can be popped
on with a switch on the bottom and glow just like a real candle, perfect for
the forgetful candle lover such as myself!
