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


Well.... Me!
I wanted to share some pictures of my home with you I thought it would be a bit different from my usual Blogs and iv'e noticed that a few of you also like shabby chic, french, retro styles like me.


If you like any of the above or have a taste for interior design read on my lovely's...... xx
(Includes lots of photos.x)



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)

This is a wooden heart shaped chalk board from the range that hangs in our hallway which hangs from the white hook frame which is also from the Range.

The wire heart candle holders were our table centers at our wedding so now i have 8 of them!!
They are from the Range.
The little china bird in from Wilkinsons


Here we have a cream wire heart that holds special photos of my family.
It hangs in our living room and is from the Range.

This is a lace effect metal plant pot from Ikea. I will admit to you girls that the plant also from Ikea
 is a fake! lol

The most important thing to me... Family.
From Home Bargains

Cream metal and glass candle holder, this was on our top table and looks great in our living room now.
Its from the Range.

Home made bunting i spent many nights making meters and meters of bunting for our wedding and now it hangs in our bedroom and living room with loads to spare! I made it using fabric from Dun elm.
(Can do a how to if requested)
Below is a little pic of it decorating our wedding reception.


Spotty china plant pot from Home Base with an Aloe Vera plant in it bought from my local village fate.
