Shabby chic. Who lives in a house like this??

Well.... Me!

If you like any of the above or have a taste for interior design read on my lovely's...... xx

The 1st picture is of my bed which is a cream bed knobs and broom sticks type bed from Argos. The floral  bedding was a set from Matalan i just folded the bed sheet in half to make a floral throw at the foot of the bed. The pink blanket is From Ikea and the blue duvet cover is from Argos. My bed is crying out for some scatter cushions much to the annoyance of my husband lol! (men just don't appreciate a good scatter cushion)
