Dressing room:
So the flat has a small box like room that is too small for a bedroom really. We decided it was goin to be my dressing room as I own a lottttttt of clothes/shoes/bags/crap and we didn't want to overcrowd our bedroom with my stuff!
The canvas wardrobes are from Sam's parents, I think they used to be in his sister's room when she lived at home. We have two of these in the flat. The big one in the dressing room and a small in the bedroom. They both fitted perfectly where we wanted them and the one n the dressing room is perfect for my shoe collection!
One thing I am currently needing is a dressing table, I have arranged to have one from someone I know for £20 but haven't been able to pick it up yet so have had to deal with what I have for now... the floor and all my stuff, everywhere! Although my makeup is being organised in takeaway tubs which btw is genius and has really helped me separate things well! The grey box to the left of the mirror was from B&M, I think it was like £4 for two!
Bedroom
The most important thing we needed straight away was a bed! Thankfully I had sorted this out a few weeks back as someone on Facebook I knew though friends contacted me knowing I was looking for furniture and offered her bed, mattress and tv stand for £50! I definitely accepted! The bed is seriously the most comfy thing! We both sleep so well on it!
The bedding is dreamy and not in my usual 'cheap budget' but when I walked into John Lewis I fell in love so had to go back and get it! It's really simple but it's not completely blank and boring. The bedding was £35. The fox cushions were from QD years ago and I think they were like 99p each or something! The unicorn and pug were from Sam, the raccoon was from the Christmas clearance at work, for like £4 maybe and the cushions were from Primark so they were not very expensive either
We don't have any shelves at all yet so we don't have many places to keep things except the set of drawers in the bedroom that hold Sam's clothes so at the moment quite a few things are on there including a cake stand with my lipsticks and perfumes. The cake stand was from Tiger and I have another one that is floral that was from Oxfam that holds my nail polishes in my dressing room.
One thing I will probably organise better when we have a bookshelf in the living room is my collection of Post Secret books. I have the whole collection and I loveeeeeeeee them so want them to be on show. The little fox that holds earrings was from Tiger.
I am really happy with the storage we have in the bedroom at the moment. The chest of drawers and wardrobe were from some people that were getting rid of stuff that Sam's parents know so picked them up for us! And the wardrobe from his parents too like the other one, so all free! I thought I would add the fairy lights to make it look prettier.
Living Room
The window sill in the living room with a photo of me and Sam and two prints that my sister got me for Christmas, there is another one somewhere that I need to get a frame for! The floral photo frame was from Sam's parents for Christmas :)
The view from the living room. It's so peaceful here! We are so close to where I used to live, like literally across the road but it's so quieter and peaceful!
The living room is really spacious for us! And I loveeeee it. We are using a temporary sofa at the moment from Sam's parents that was in their summer house but I love it and definitely want a corner sofa when we get our own.
These tables were from a lady on a Facebok selling site and were £20. They were exactly what I had been looking for and I LOVE them. I love the colours and the sizes and for the living room they re perfect. the copper and silver candles were from Newlook, the candle tray was from Tiger with random candleson it, some Yankees. All of the coasters were presents along with the flowers.
Ignore Sam, I couldn't be bothered to tell him to move :P All of the cushions were from Primark here. I plan to get more cushions but these will do for now, they brighten it up a bit. At some point next month we plan to get a dining table to go behind the sofa and a bookcase to go along the wall!
This is going to be our alcohol storage and was from a facebook selling site and think it was £15 or £20! it has wine racks and a little drawer that we have shot glasses and a bottle opener in! The big phot frame with pegs was from Primark. The Star Wars figures were all from me for Sam for his birthday and Christmas and the cards are our cards to each other for Christmas, birthdays and valentines day.
I hope you have enjoyed having a looking at what we have done so far. Next month there will be a lot of changes when we buy more stuff so I will definitely blog about what else we get!
