Room Tour



This is a blog post that I've been meaning to write for the longest time, but once again life got in the way!

So I recently got my room done up and wanted to share with you how I've decorated it. I'm still living at home and my room was fine, but it had the same built-in, white, wardrobes that had been there for more than 20 years!

Unfortunately I've no pictures of the old wardrobe but they were very old fashioned, not really white anymore and just a bit of an eyesore. So a few months ago we ripped the whole thing out and freshened the place up.


The Clothes Rail


This was one thing I just had to have. I searched high and low for a decent one, something that didn't look too industrial but was also sturdy. I picked this up this one in IKEA (click for link) for €40 and it's perfect! It holds loads and has a handy shoe rack on the bottom too.

Storage


I of course needed more storage, and once again searched high and low for something that was good quality but also modern. I decided to go for a a chest of drawers and went this this classic, solid wood one from Harvey Norman. Considering I didn't spend much on the rail I splashed out a bit on this. It's still on sale for €799 but I paid €500 for it on a discount night.


Then all I needed to do was to add some finishing touches to the room. I picked up a few simple frames from Penneys and Sostrene Grene and decorated the chest of drawers with these and some mismatched candles.


Fabricport

I also had another press in the room that I bought years ago in TK Maxx which needed some life added to it. I received this colorful ceramic pineapple from an Irish company called Fabricport and knew it would look great in the room. Fabricport is a great website to go to if your looking to accessorise your home with modern pieces.


Fingers crossed I'll have my own home in 2017, and for when that day comes I already have a long wishlist of products from the Fabricport website.

And sure what else would you do with a ceramic pineapple.... ;)


I hope you like what I've done with my room and am looking forward to sharing similar posts when I have a home of my own!

My Black Friday Top Picks

Image
In a perfect world I'd have all the money and I'd be able to buy all the things (and there'd be no such thing as calories). Unfortunately that's not the case, but if it was this is what I'd be spending my money on, this Black Friday. Body Blur 50% off This fake tan, which gives the illusion of flawless skin, is loved by Pippa O'Connor and Waxperts Ellen and I just have to have it!!!  As fake tans go it's pretty pricey but today you can get it for half price on Simply Foxy Missguided 50% off I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of Missguided. But I've had my eye on these shoes for the longest time! The straps and studs make them quite trendy, very Valentino-esque, while the nude colour makes them wearable all year round. Oasis Dress 20% off (code HAPPY20) I saw this dress on a mannequin in Oasis and I swear to God, angels were singing down onto it as I stared. It is DIVINE!! It's perfect Christmas party dress that you can wear over and over aga

Make Up by Polish Hand & Foot Spa

Image
As you may have seen from my millions of pictures on Facebook & Instagram , I got my make up done! This is so exciting for me because it's something I never do! If I'm going to a salon it's usually for nails or a blow dry, I just never think to get my make up done! And why wouldn't I? I do my own make up decent enough.....but let's be honest it's never anything special. So I was only delighted when I was given the opportunity to have someone else do it for me! I was invited to Polish Hand & Foot Spa to get my make up done yesterday evening, and it was such a lovely treat!! First of all Polish Spa on Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin is a very chic salon run by Leanne and Emma. For me (and probably most other people) the interior of a salon really adds to the experience and Polish Spa did not disappoint. It was a really clean and fresh salon with pretty blue wallpaper and lovely white and grey antique furniture. Leanne Nugent the owner of Polish Spa and aka F
