#WantItWednesday (05/08/16)

I have been on a bit of a home decor vibe the last couple of weeks. 
I have been painting, decorating and DIYing like a trouper and I love it! I have been dreaming about bookshelves and furniture and I am not sorry about it!

From Made.com
I am have been in need of lighting for ages. My flat is lovely (now after weeks of decoration) but I am sick of having the ceiling light on all the time... And then I found this.

I am complete and totally in love with this Copper lamp from Made.com. It is fun, cool and makes me feel like I am not in my flat in deepest darkest East London; but in an huge, spacious loft in the middle of Copenhagen.

This looks great modern furniture (aka IKEA, let's not pretend) and it's really, good value for it's design. I have decided that this beauty will be perfect next to my enormous floor mirror. Perfect for those #OOTD Instagram shots I should be taking.

Copper is one of my metals of the moment. I have a lot of accents in it throughout my home. To be honest, I want to gilt my flat in it.


I have searched high and low for the best pieces for the home. Have a look at my favourite pieces here:

So as you can see, it's taking over my life.
I am off to buy more copper.

Until Next Week!

#WantItWednesday (22/04/15)

So I may have been a little pre-occupied with getting my house in order of late. I have spent an obscene amount of time lusting after shelves, painting furniture and up-cycling like my life depended on it. I am desperate to have the perfect house and it has slightly taken over my life.

As the need for a perfect home is now a fully fledged obsession; I have spent more and  more of my weekends in Ikea, because I am not made of money and I have to make savings where I can and there are plenty of Pinterest Ikea hacks that make me feel like Martha Stewart on steroids. 

The last time I ventured in (last weekend, I won't pretend) I was on the hunt for a large photo frame to fit this 'London' print from Rifle Paper Co I have been lusting after for months. I left with several clip top jars, a vase and an amazing hallway table. 

The other piece of furniture I saw BLEW MY MIND. 
I have never wanted a piece of home-ware so much in my life

#WantItWednesday (25/03/15)

So, I may have gone on about this for months, but I have just moved into a shiny new home! I have had a few of my nearest and dearest round but am not yet ready to have a full on 'grown up' dinner party with courses and a cheeseboard! I have been putting it off; although my tea sets are second to none; my cookware needs a bit of work 
(I also need to finish putting my dining table together - Don't ask.) 
Enter Falcon and their delectable enamel sets.

#WantItWednesday (16/04/14)



I am not just obsessed with clothes and accessories. I am more than wild about homeware too. This is yet another beautiful addition to my eclectic and over crowded cupboard in the kitchen in my flatshare. 

I will of course, make room in my cupboard for this remarkable Carafe set from Bib & Sola.
Each Carafe & Glass is hand blown so no two look the same and come in a variety of colours. The rose (Pictured above) is my particular favourite with the white (right) a close second. 


These look best on an a diverse bedside table as a water carafe; or (as if I needed another excuse for wine) as wonderful centre piece for a relaxed Easter evening at home with friends on an elegant driftwood coffee table. 

Everyone should have a carafe in their home and this is a wonderful place to start your collection. You even get your green credentials with this too, as a proportion of the profits are donated charities. So raise a glass or two; I certainly will!

#WantItWednesday (23/10/2013)

For my first #WantItWednesday I am am talking about one life's greatest pastimes,
Tea. 
A wonderful British tradition which is receiving a deserved resurgence. 'Taking Tea' is the English pastime, one which I try to observe at least 50 times a day! Whether grabbing a quick cup in the morning or splashing out with finger sandwiches and cream cakes in the late afternoon, I am a firm believer that if tea is involved in any way it should be drunk in style, with your pinky presented! You can find no better presentation than the beautiful specimen I am lusting after below.
Blue Calico Teacup Only 187ml/1/3pt

The Beautiful & British Staffordshire ceramicists at Burleigh create tea accessories begging to be mixed and matched. Established in 1851 this traditional Staffordshire Pottery hand finishes all of their ceramics using the difficult (and hypnotic to watch) tissue printing method.

Burleigh Pottery  Blue Calico Tea Cup & Saucer £12.50

I want every pattern and colour-way in my home, in my office and at every tea party I attend... if anyone is out there you know exactly what I want on a Wednesday!
