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 ...

My Bathroom Nightime Product Routine

Before I share a blog post on my bathroom I thought I would share a post on my current product nightime routine. In the morning I do not have as much time so at night is when I like to properly care for my skin which is a dry skin type. The condition is sensitive this happened after having my two sons, my whole skincare range had to change after pregnancy. I like to use a cream cleanser that is very light in texture as if the cleanser is too thick in texture I do not feel clean. The foaming cleansers are good for the morning but I am a dry skin type so I don't really get on with these. Next I use a toner and you should not use a toner which contains alcohol as this is very ageing for the skin. So due to all this I am loving the Clarins cleanser and toner, the toner is Cammomile and very gentle toner even for very sensitive skin. The cleansing milk is light in texture and great for a dry and sensitive skin. It feels very soothing on the skin. I apply these with cotton wool, ...
