Finding A Space That Works For You.

It can be hard to create a space that works as both a bedroom and creative zone. Whether its somewhere to do your make up, to work or a cosy reading nook, there needs to be a divide between that and your sleep space (which can be hard to achieve in one room). I recently moved my bedroom around and I am finally starting to feel like it's the perfect mix. Today I wanted to show you my desk space. I have switched it up slightly, adding more golden and earthy tones in the form of decor. 

I have been picking up trinkets for a little while now, some you may have seen on Instagram and others are new. Most of the bits are from TK Maxx but I do have items from Primark, Laura Ashley, Ikea and local carboot sales too. It's important to pick things up along the way, rather than buying everything in one go. I just feel like everything seems a little bit more personal that way. Oh, and my plants. I can't live without those can I! My fiddle-leaf fig is from Lidl, believe it or not it was only £10.

So yeah, that is my current desk situation. It is forever changing so the next time you see it, it will probably be completely different. But for now it inspires me and for that, I love it.

Where is your work space?

New Homey Bits #2.

I have collected a few new pieces for my bedroom over the past couple of months. Honestly I don't know how I fit all of this stuff in my bedroom anymore. I think I could fill a castle with the things I have accumulated over the years. Anyway, onto the new stuff. I got that cushion you can see there (in the picture above) from Botany Bay for £5, cheap as chips eh? I also got a new plant (obis) can you believe this was only £4 form Tesco! For the plant AND the pot thats a bargain! I've just gotta keep it alive now, haha.

And finally, a little something from Ikea. I needed some extra room on my clothing rail for things that didn't really need to be hung up, like casual tops and leggings. I found this contraption that attaches to the clothing rail and you just fold your stuff up and pop it inside. I thought it was pretty handy and for £8.50, you can't go wrong.

I feel like I have picked up some good bargains recently!

Primark Candles.

So in my new homey bits post I included a little primark candle I received for my birthday. As well as the wild orchid candle, pictured above, I got gifted another 4... so I thought I would do a little first impressions!

Wild Orchid (grey) - If you like fresh/perfumey scents then you will probably like this one! It reminds me of a posh shop scent... you know what I mean? Like you walk into a expensive store and it has that really clean, perfumed smell. I know what I mean haha. 

White Tea & Peony (blue) - Again, this is a fresh scent but it smells a lot more sweeter and a little more feminine than Grey Orchid, which is quite masculine.

Pink Grapefruit (pink) - This one is fruity (obvs) but sickly too. If you are into sweeter scent rather than fresh ones I deffo recommend Pink Grapefruit.

Pineapple & Ginger (yellow) - To be honest this scent just smells of pineapple to me. You can slightly smell the ginger, but it just basically smells like pineapple juice. There isn't much more to say really, just pineapple juice.

Madagascan Vanilla (white) - This is just the basic really innet. Everyone knows the warming, homely scent of vanilla!

You can see the size of the jar in comparison to my hand in the first image. They are pretty dinky, but I noticed on the label that it says they burn for 16hrs. If they do that's pretty good as they are only £1! I'll be sure to keep you updated.

Have you ever tried Primark's candles?

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!
