The Dream Shopping List For Plant Lovers.

Oh hi just me creating a wish list for no other reason other than to find all the cacti themed things I didn't know I needed in my life.

If like me you are obsessed with all things botanical then this is the shopping list for you. I mean sure, maybe also like me your boyfriend will cry if you bring more plant items into your home but hey, what does he know huh?

So here's my top 35 picks from all range of budgets (yup, should have checked the price of that Urban Outfitters rug before I added it to the list) from the high street and online.

Bedroom Wishlist | April 2018.

It's the last day of my wish list posts and today's comes in the form of your bedroom. One of the rooms you probably spend the least amount of time in awake but one you spend A LOT of time in during your life. It has to be calming, it has to be cosy and it has to be relaxing enough to send you to sleep - creating a bedroom really is a minefield.

Autumnal Homeware I've Got My Eye On.

I've put myself on a cheeky little spending ban because 1. I'm skint from booking weekends away and 2. I need money for those weekends away next month.

Where I Got My Furniture | Home Edit

I haven't forgotten about my promise (and your interest) to do more homeware, home renovations and content on my house. I am crowning September 'home month' and there'll be a new post about home ownership, decorating and general moving every week so that's fun.

Today though I thought I'd share some info on where we got our furniture. I did a blog post back when we moved on things we'd genuinely bought which you can read about here but it was more a list of little bits we'd got our hands on (or an Ikea catalogue if you want to look at it that way).

I'm going to do a post on my kitchen on it's own because it's the biggest room and required the most amount of work but for today, here's where I got my furniture;

10 Tips For Renovating On A Budget.

Last week I asked what type of home content you wanted to see on the old blog and the overwhelming answer I got was tips on where to find cheap accessories and tips on how to renovate/decorate on a budget.

So not one to disappoint, here I am with renovation on a budget.

I Hate To Ask You To Direct My Content But.....

.....I'm about to.

I'm all about those filler pieces of blog content at the moment - you know the types, the ones that are short, written quickly, you don't have a lot to take away from it but it's not utter horse shit (I hope). I can only apologise, I've had a busy week which has meant I haven't had time to take photos for the actual decent posts I have scheduled and I've got a family wedding this weekend so am scheduling this on Friday night so I don't have to think about it when I'm far too bleary eyed on Sunday. But back to the matter in hand....
