The Perfect Home For A Crosley Turntable.

Interiors and décor are my thing. I love swapping my bedroom around I actually work in a home furnishings kinda store. My dad is letting me decorate the living room soon, which I am super excited about too! But that's another blog post. My most recent project was finding a home for my Crosley turntable...I have had it for a year and until now its never really had a home. Of course I looked for the record player stands and found some nice ones like this one here but they were super expensive. So, I just placed it on a pile of Elle magazines and lived with the eyesore. Then on Instagram I saw someone using the IKEA Bekvam Step Stool as a side table. I had a light bulb moment and knew my record player would fit nicely on top. So what did I do? I went and bought it didn't I! Along with a new duvet cover and some plants I didn't need (I cant resist!). I got home put it altogether and hey presto! My record player had the perfect home. I store my vinyl's underneath and obvs added some planty bits to the stools step. 

I think this is a good space saving home for a record player as the 'proper' stands can be hefty and quite large. I also saved a lot of money...the stool was only £14! Barg!

Let me know what you think about this idea!

How To Style House Plants.

Everybody is loving plants, cacti & succulents at the moment, I am not going to lie...I have kind of been obsessing over them too! I have like 16 different little species (all in individual pots) in my tiny room and I have been trying to figure out different ways to style them. I've come up with 3 simple ways and so I thought I would share!

Stack, stack & stack

Stacking plants on book, trays or anything you can get your hands on is a good way to add height and different levels, whether it is on a desk, table or shelf. I got this tree plant from Ikea for £1 and the pot for 50p. If you're looking for some cheap greenery Ikea is definitely the way forward, but I am sure everyone knows that!

Pair them up

I was getting bored of my little cacti being in individual pots so I decided to pot a few together. I added some pebbles to the bottom of the pot for drainage, added some soil and popped the cacti in, topping them up with a bit more soil. This is a good way to save some room for more cacti, yay! And they look cute together!

Hang em

I love the harnesses you can get to hang plants but they can be pretty expensive, so I 
made my own! I did a post on it ageeeees ago, I'll link it here. Again this is a good way to 
save some room. 

I think the next kind I want are the little air plants, they are really unique. If you have anymore ideas on how to style cacti and plants, let me know. I am always looking for different ways to style them in my room.
