My Recent Homeware Haul

17th February 2017

I’ve recently been re doing bits to my house, so I thought I would do a post on all the recent homeware items I’ve been buying, me and my boyfriend have been in our house 2 years this August, and our plan was to do one room at a time, last year we had the front garden, main bathroom and en suite done and now this year we want to do our bedroom, living room, loft Dormer and our kitchen/dinning room extension. It’s a lot of work and I hate having a messy house, but its all worth it in the end just a tad bit stressful as you can imagine, I absolutely hate all the dust everywhere, I think that’s the worst bit about it!!

It brings me on to my post today which is all about my recent homeware bits I’ve been buying, I really wanted  a change in my bedroom and the first place I went to for inspo is pinterest, we all know how amazing pinterest is! they had so many gorgeous pictures of blush, grey and rose gold bedrooms that I fell in love and knew that was exactly what I wanted.

most of the bits I’m going to talk about that I got are for my bedroom as I’ve completely changed the colour scheme, flooring and wardrobes. So if you love Homeware posts I hope you enjoy this one.

Just to warn you this post Might be a little long I do apologise!

We had decided on this white wooden flooring over a year ago but only now getting around to ordering and laying it, it’s just a white wood with a grey grain, we did spend ages deciding on this and had about 100 floor samples to choose from. I love white flooring it makes everything look clean, bright and modern. A bonus is that I can take lots of my blog and IG pictures on this flooring now Ha ha!

My colour scheme I decided on was blush nude and grey, it’s so very “in” at the moment and literally all the shops are filled with these colours. I wanted something that would be modern, and would go with anything as I had gold and while bedding before, I also wanted something a little more manly looking for John as well, Although I would love to go for girly bed sets I cant anymore, although he does have to lump it sometimes LOL

I ordered this doubled sided blush and grey bedding set from ebay ( I would link it but it’s now sold out 🙁 sorry )

I’ve also been ordering loads of other spare bedding sets I got a blush set from H&M and also a marble bedding set from primark, so I can change it up regularly.

I have fallen in love with the cushion covers in H&M home literally H&M is nude and grey heaven, they have bedding, cushions, rugs the lot, I could have bought the whole shop. I got a bunch of all different covers so I could change them around depending on what bedding set I have on. If you’re looking for affordable cushion covers I highly recommend H&M home I’ve seen loads of nice ones that look identical to these but are so expensive I just couldn’t pay £30/40 for a cover no matter how much I loved it.

I’m sure you have all seen the gorgeous chunky throws and blankets all over IG and pinterest right? well I fell in love with them but again I couldn’t justify the price, although I would have loved a real one I had to be sensible. Don’t get me wrong I can understand why they are so expensive because of the wool and time it takes but I can’t pay £200-400 on a throw that’s just going to be at the end of my bed, so you can imagine how excited I was when I saw this in Dunelm, I literally live in Dunelm at the moment I’m there every week, they have gorgeous home ware and bedding and its so affordable too which is what we want right!!

This charcoal throw was only £45 and is such a bargain for how big and thick it is, it also comes in cream too and you can buy it here

Another Item I got in Dunelm was these sheepskin rugs, I love fluffy rugs they look so chic, I’ve got one in my beauty room although my dog Elliott loves rolling around on it and has made it go all clumpy, I’m convinced he thinks its his sibling! I picked up this rug in grey and nude and they where £34.99 each available to buy here

I also picked up these rope/knitted storage baskets from Dunelm ( I did say I love Dunelm) I put the smaller one next to Johns side of the bed and it hides all his crap he leaves lying around, I do love a storage basket and loved the fact these went with the style and theme of the room.

£7-8 purchase them from here

I Was looking everywhere for copper photo frames, I wanted something for my prints I had ordered and luckily found these.

copper photo frames £4.99- 6.99 are from Dunelm also and you can find them here

All prints are from Desenio, I was looking for prints that I could display that were affordable as some websites I found were a tad expensive, Desenio had 25% off too!! I wanted to be able to change them regularly as I get bored really quick, that was the idea of the picture ledge shelf too as it saves me putting loads of holes all over the wall. I hate filling in holes!

Shop the full range here

photo frame ledge shelf is from ikea here

Also picked up these beauty prints from Desenio for my beauty room. They had so many to choose from, I might actually have to order some more eeek!

I was searching everywhere for a copper Lamp, again I wanted something affordable, I didn’t want to spend £100 on a lamp lol no matter how nice it was. Luckily I was on pinterest and came across this one from Wilko so ordered it straight away and it was only £20!! I’ve gone for copper, and marble accessories as it goes lovely with grey.

Purchase from wilko here

Next up is some random bits I’ve picked up to display, I got the rose gold brass tray in the H&M home sale it was only £5 and then some little decorative items as well from H&M. Candle is from Primark.

I picked up these thanks to Oliva over at lustliving, seriously if you don’t follow her you must! she gives me all kind of home inspo and jealousy ha ha but no her style is amazing and she’s also so lovely too. she recently posted about these tins on IG and I loved them, it was exactly what I had been looking for, again more storage for my room as well as being pretty to look at I love the gold confetti detail.

These are from dotmaison but are currently sold out.

I got this end of bed chest/storage from EBay and added the rose gold handles, I really like how it’s turned out, I needed a new chest as my other one was broken and old. I just typed in white wood ottoman to find this one.

And lastly I just wanted to mention this DIY stool I will be making, If you have read my beauty room post from last year (Which you can read here) you will know I made my own sheepskin stool then, but I fancied something new and to go with my beauty room once its all been re done next week as im having the flooring done and a massive de clutter but I ordered my self some hairpin legs in gold, and I’ve got a sheepskin rug in nude and white that I’m going to use for the seat, I havent decided what colour I’m going to do yet. Again if you have seen Lustlivings Instagram she recently got one of those gorgeous stools and it’s absolutely stunning, ( I did say she gives me inspo and makes me drool over her interior) So I wanted to make myself one as I love doing things like this and I was so pleased how my other one came out. Pinterest also gives me lots of inspiration for DIY home interior ideas.

I hope you enjoyed this post, it was something a little bit different but Id love to do more homeware posts in the future as I’ve had loads of people ask me about the stuff I have been buying recently.

I’m so excited that we are having our loft room done next, It was already sort of done when we got the house but we want to make it bigger and have a proper loft dormer, it’s actually going to be my office and photo taking area, as all my lights and equipment has taken up so much room in my beauty room. so I cant wait to show you all that when it’s completed in March.

If you have any questions leave me a comment.

Thanks for reading! xo

    I love this post so much! I ordered grey sheepskin rugs online the other week but the retailer sold out and cancelled my order :(! I love the pink, grey and copper colour so much. Plus, Dunelm, Wilko are two of my fave homeware shops – you should also try The Range!

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
