Catch up Post

I am having computer problems atm so I can only use the internet intermittantly.

Here are some recent photos to keep you updated on my week:


finally got a 70s style sunburst clock for the flat, I still want a proper vintage one but I saw this on sale for £10 I couldnt say no!

I got another pair of Vans because I wear my blue ones so much. I havent seen anyone with the grey before.

Yummy Chicken sandwich (made with my own bread!)

This weeks Graze Box, the pistachios are my favourite.

I am looking forward to breakfast tomorrow :D

I have an exciting post for next time...well I think it is exciting!

Cushions

I love cushions, Im not one of those who will get carried away and pile up hundreds of throw pillows on the bed so they become an inconvenience when you need to get in but I am a believer in cushions brightening up a room and adding a bit of comfort and character.

Like this chair for instance its a neutral colour so it needs a bit of colour.

The Racoon (cover only) is from H&M home, the Stag cushion is from Primark

they are too big to both go on the chair but Ben was sitting on the sofa so I displayed them here for a quick photo.

I cannot wait for the January sales where I am hoping to pick up a sewing machine so I can start making my own cushion covers. They would make splendid gifts :]

House love

I love having a space of my own (with the bf of course).

We go a bit mental with buying things to fill it with, but personalising a space is what makes a rented flat a home right?

Ikea purchases:

VILMIE RUTA I love the geometric retro pattern and the colours go so well in our flat.


Cheeky thrift finds:

amazing french glass and jug set with cute sailboats which I found in a charity shop in Grove they cost me like £3.50 there are 5 glasses in total but they were in the sink ha.


Le Crueset pans absolute bargain at £4 from a second hand yard in Wantage.(they are my fave colour as well!!)

Ive tried to match the table cloth with the kitchen tiles, its not perfect but good enough for now!

Posters:
I put these posters in the living room because the colours in each matched the room the yellows match the walls and the blues in the star wars poster matched the sofa, it ties the room together.


Continuing that seventies theme with Star Wars the frames are from Ikea.

Vinatge Postcards

I love vintage postcards especially 1920/30s travel ones that they used to encourage the use of the trains and underground.

I have framed some for my living room :)



my next post will be all about packing and planning for my Amsterdam holiday on Sunday!!

a few pictures of the flat

So me and the Bf are steadily filling our home with lovely things, here are some of the latest additions:


I got the cushion :D


This painting we got from a carboot sale for 50p, madness! The frame alone must be worth that! It is beautiful and we put it in the bathroom. It makes me smile just looking at it.
Our lovely telephone, I feel like Audrey Hepburn everytime I use it!

I also watched The Lovely Bones recently, it was such a good film I really enjoyed it. Obviously it isnt a pleasant film, its really very sad. However the set design was incredible and the Salmon house is a dream come true! 1970s in all its bright floral splendor

Just look at those prints!!
