Carry on Beautiful!

I’ve been spending a lot of time talking and thinking about my new home despite the fact that we  won’t be moving for a few months at least. Because of this, i decided its about time i started to appreciate the home i have right now, and all the things in it, since I’m really incredibly lucky to even have that. So, here are a few of my favourite things about my home.

In the first picture you see one of the two metal bookcases i recently bought from Ikea, which i love because i have a fair few ‘classic’ or vintage pieces and that adds something a bit more modern and industrial feeling to balance it out a bit. The little box you can see is one of those ones that lights up like the front of an old cinema which i adore.

Next up you can see my ‘music corner’ where i have covered the entire wall in Beatles posters and store all my records. I’m a big fan of listening to music on vinyl so this is one of my favourite area’s in the whole flat. On top of that most of the posters i got around the age of 13 so its a bit of a throw back to my teenage bedroom.

Finally, my couch. Oh, how i love this couch. I bought it recently off eBay and had an issue with the person advertising it as being less than 10 miles away from where i live only for them to tell me, after i had payed the £40 for it that it was in fact over a 4 hours drive away. Luckily enough for me i found a lovely woman who happened to be driving from where it was to see her family literally two streets over from me so she delivered it for me. Its a vintage, red velvet chesterfield two seater and its just amazing. Its incredibly comfortable and as you can see, its beautiful.
