New Next Home Haul

Recently I have got some lovely new things for my home from Next Home Store here in England. I really like shopping at Next Home as its not too pricey and they suit my home style. I also find I can mix up there items with slightly more high end pieces. The only thing I find is often friends will have same pieces as they are not one off items like stores such as Home Sense but I am still happy with my items!

I love this bunch of artificial flowers in my hallway from Next they were only £6

Im a sucker for nice bedding I think because I love my bed and I have eczema so I like nice soft bedding. This was £20 for two pillows and king sheet, its grey and goes perfectly with my yelllow Laura Ashley bedding as seen underneath. You cannot beat yellow and grey! Its nice and bright and calming in the room.

This I have put in the dining room it was a great price at £16

This is a photo frame but I actually quite like it as it is this was £30

The above frame was £12 this was the last one in our local store but try online, its perfect for my two boys pictures to go in.

This is a hurricane candle lamp however I use it as a small vase in my kitchen in winter as it looks lovely with red christmas flowers. To protect it as it is not really a vase I put a small glass in there. Which I put the flowers into when I am not using it I think it still looks lovely in my lounge on display in my cabinet. £16

My Hallway

Hallway Design My Hallway was very dark when we brought this house two years ago there was no natural light. This was because the front door had no glass or window and the walls were dark in colour. I went for pale grey with a blue undertone this makes the grey paint warmer. Having tiles on the floor means it can be a little cold so I did not want a cool tone of grey. I was going to use Farrow and Balls Elephants Breathe but I found this to be very dark. Although other Farrow and Ball colours I love such as Pale Powder.ere also a dark colour. The first thing we did was change the door to one which has glass. It is enough to let the light in but still provides us with privacy. Then we painted the stairs white as they were a very dark brown instantly this made the room feel more modern and brighter. The door handles were all gold and looked very dated and did no longer matched the grey on the walls. So we got these iconic door handles which ...

How Painting Furniture Transformed My Home

By painting some items in the home you can really transform the way that they look and bring an old pice of furniture a new life! Above I have used Crown Antique Cream to change and transform this dresser. I first started painting my garden furniture as I wanted to brighten up the garden and the table and chairs were looking quite tired. We do not get much sun here in England so its nice to add some extra colour with this paint. I did two coats of this colour by Cuprinol in Coastal Mist. Im so happy with the colour it feels very beauty and has really made the furniture look more polished. You may need to sand the wood first I did not have too. Then I wanted to paint the metal chairs and table in the garden as they were green but I wanted them to go back to white. This involved lots of sanding down then two coats of this paint below by Hammerite which I find is the best for metal. A few weeks ago I was looking for a shoe cupboard to make are ...

Easter Decorations For The Home

Spring This time of year spring is one of my favourite times of the year, spring is when we know here in England that summertime is getting closer. No more dark nights and cold days but longer lighter days with warmer weather. My son was also born on the 14th of March this year so I now love this month even more than I did! Having children I now have two boys means that you start to embrace different times of the year like christmas and easter. Well as my eldest son is nearly three I wanted to this year decorate our home. It makes easter more exciting and another nice reason to celebrate. Also they can enjoy the easter egg hunt in the garden with my family. The best place I found for easter decorations for the home was TKMaxx it had an amazing selection where I live. They had done easter so well without looking tacky and they are the type of decorations you can put away and bring out the following year. Bunting is also a lovely addition in the home for spring. When spri...
