On a Bedroom Tart Up Mission

As from January I will be on a mission. Kieran’s bedroom has been made over TWICE since we moved in a year ago and Taylor recently got a new bed and a fabulous little chair and footstool set which he calls his Numberjacks chair (CBeebies has a lot to answer for). The only bedroom that has not been given any special attention is ours!

Our bedroom is the largest of the three being over 16ft x 14ft and also doubles as my office during the day. I have a beautiful white shaker style desk and filing cabinet which suits the room beautifully. I have two large sash windows that let the light in and…. an uncomfy bed that desperately needs replacing, including a new mattress, a Argos quick chuck together thing which resembles a wonky wardrobe (Roy’s wardrobe is outside the bedroom in a build in cupboard and I want that back for storage!), ONE bedside table and a set of drawers that have seen better days.

I am on a mission!

I want a new bed, something like this…..

Chantilly Double Bed

 

Bedding and the other linens such as matching curtains……

Some bedroom wardrobes that don’t look like the doors will fall off like mine do!

And a whole host of other bedroom (and home) items. Poor Roy, I haven’t fully explained how much of the house I’m planning on re-doing in the new year just yet. I’ve started to collect inspirational images on Pinterest and have many more to add. I’d love to see to see your top homes / interior design boards as I’m always looking for new ideas!

The Cheer You Up Post

Sometimes you just feel  naff. I’ve had two extremely busy and quite stressful weeks. This week was supposed to be a weekend off relaxing mixed with fun family activities. I woke up yesterday morning feeling like death warmed up with a case of the dreaded lurgy.
I am miffed. Due to said lurgy I have been up since 3.30am this morning and am in dire need of cheering up, hence this post. Here is a collection of things that make me smile or even laugh.

 

I just love autumn; the sights, the smells.... everything.

This, because for some childish reason I can get past the fact that this woman chose to wear a tampon on her wedding day.
