after seeing some wonderful posts of people showing off their homes on a beautifulmess it made me sad, for one i'm living with my mum, which i appreciate 100% but until i have some money i can't afford to move out and put my mark on somewhere! for now though, i can collect and show off things around my bedroom and cannot wait to display them somewhere special when me and the boy move in together! so for now heres a little look at the colourful things that brighten up my room..
this frame was a gift from my boyfriend on our first valentines day i think and the rabbit has underwent a little makeover when its 'furry' skin when i bought it (ages ago from paperchase ) was falling off, its actually a money box but i love him!
another animal but this one is glittery, this lovely flamingo is from paperchase and what some of my nail varnishes are sitting on is a gorgeous vintage plate cake stand which i got from a lovely art and craft fair the other week and it only cost me £5 from this lovely lady at dawn magpie creations
my lovely ukulele, it's made by a company called makala and i can actually play it, well some chords and only a few songs but one i have mastered is 'you always hurt the one you love'. it's a song from the film blue valentine and ryan gosling does a version and its so pretty and actually the reason why i wanted to get one. a lovely gift from my dad at christmas a few years ago!
lovely lovely vintage ring box, i got this from my friend skye and it came away with me all around america, thailand and australia..
my little wall display, so so easy to do but as i'm at my mum's house and i've already caused 7 holes in the wall i thought i'd stop. there were more of the pink frames with the blue paper but i replaced it for the lovely heart shaped frame off my nephew and i found the vinyl under my bed, it's by jack penaté i must have got it at a gig but its got a gorgeous floral sticker on the a side so i thought i'd display it! the paper inside these cheap wooden frames was just from a craft shop for about 50p per bigger than a4 square!
koala plate from australia, luckily i found it in one of those tacky souvenir shops but saw it and loved it! the religious frame was bought from a little stall outside the sagrada familia in barcelona, i'm not particulary religious but a big fan of religious iconography(with thanks to baz luhrman's romeo and juliet)
a small selection of dvd's to put on in the background for when i'm being crafty..think this image pretty much sums up my taste in films..the addition of harry potter is very new after only being a fan for 4 months or so..i told my friend skye who is the biggest harry potter fan i know that i had started reading and getting addicted to the books and she said i'm glad you finally get it-i never had any intention of reading or seeing the films and at uni whilst my two friends spoke about it was just so bored haha, i take it all back.
some of my lovely little books guarded by a pomeranian, another lovley little gift off my boyfriend when i was in my 'i want a fluffly pomeranian like boo phase!' now I'm much more in wantng a pug with a grown up mans name phase, jeff, bert, donald etc
another glittery statue money box, anyone would think i'm addicted, this one is off my friend chloe, my friends know my tastes very well! the wooden heart in the background is from typo, its an australian company and it cost me $5 australian dollars(about £3.50) they had all kinds of letters and symbols but i grabbed this just before we left as my suitcase was already bursting at the seams.
and that's all for now! i really do want to start collecting unique items to display in my future house and will post any pictures on here! there is a lime green glass bowl i've seen in a charity shop..watch this space!
