We've been living in our new home for a year now. It's took a long time to feel like home, but I feel we're getting somewhere now. Today I thought I'd show you some of my favourite little snippets of our new home - we still have a long way to go. We still need to hang some pictures up on the walls, buy some new furniture to fill rooms and add some personal touches to the place.
First little snippit is the bedroom:

Top is from Homebase, Below is Oliver Bonas |
When we moved into our flat we brought budget pieces from Ikea to get us started - to slowly update in the future when we had the budget.(Our coffee table was £8 ha)
So I've had a good mooch on the internet and have found some beautiful statement pieces of furniture that I'd love in the new house.
Oliver Bonas have some awesome retro looking pieces. I love the colored cupboards and different shaped drawers, Habitat from Homebase have some similar pieces but at a much more budget friendly cost! My next job is to convince the boyfriend that they'd look great in our living room!
Now that we have a decent sized hallway I'm on the lookout for a console table - somewhere to keep phones and important bits and pieces. There's this gorgeous option from Ikea - LIATORP for a decent price with a beautiful glass top and shelf design so that the top doesn't get cluttered, but everything can be visible at the same time. I really like the simple white design; it will make the room look light and airy and add a bit of life to the space.This is the only contender in the console table department at the moment.
The same range from Ikea do a gorgeous concept coffee table with the same glass top and drawers underneath. I love this, but don't think white will suit our dark sofa's. So I'm still on the hunt for either a new coffee table or side tables.

My Makeup Storage.
When I moved out last year with my boyfriend; the one thing I knew I wanted was a dressing table. Somewhere to do my hair and makeup in the morning, and somewhere bright and light.
When we went for our big Ikea shop; I spotted the 'Malm' Dresser in one of the displays and instantly fell in love with it. It was crisp and clean, and thankfully matched the bedroom furniture we'd picked out!
One the top is a glass top. This makes the dresser easy to clean, and also adds a nice element to the room. Then it has one large drawer the whole width of the dressing table. Inside I've seperated my makeup and haircare using drawer separators from Muji. I used to own the acrylic Muji drawers and use those as storage for my makeup, however the draw is to shallow to accommodate them, so I've had to find other uses for them for now!
On top of my dresser is a mirror from The Range which fits nicely with the room as all our furniture is white. I also have a mirrored plate with some pretty jars and my perfumes on. On the other side are all my hair appliances
Inside I have a box for:
- Base products - primers, BB creams and foundations.
- Lip products - lipsticks, lipbalms, tinted products and a lipscrub.
- Cheek products - Blushers, Highlights and Bronzers (My favourite drawer)
- Eye products - Eyeliners, eyeshadows and Masacras ( I need another thinner box to separate these more)
- Brushes - Makeup brushes and eyelash curlers.
Then there's all my hair products and brushes and another little organiser for my hair grips and bobbles.
I also slot in some skincare and makeup pallets and face masks in the front where there is space.
This is my favourite corner of our flat. What's your favourite corner of your home?
