Since my last blog I have been whiling away hours creating moods and themes for each of the rooms in my new flat. It is hugely moreish, but also really helpful as my plans for each room are starting to take shape.
The lounge in particular, I have been agonising over for a while but I think I have cracked it with these beautiful Ritchie sofas from Made.com (A.K.A Mecca!) and an amazing coloured "bubble rug" courtesy of my parents.
I am planning on using the multi-coloured rug to create a fun and funky feel and then use the sofas to define the two key tones in the room - grey and pink. I absolutely love this suite - the coloured buttons add a real element of fun and the fabric looks pretty hard-wearing which will be good with the cats.
I had a little bit more interiors-porn today too, in the form of ReStore - a beautiful little shop in Dartington, Totnes that specialises in upcycling donated pieces. I found myself looking for a real life Pin It button for these little beauties...
Needless to say, I will certainly be coming back when I have done the space planning for my flat.
So far, I am trying to fight the temptation to buy anything for my new place. I am scared to jinx it and so keep telling myself to wait until I have exchanged. However, I have started a rather sad spreadsheet which has links and costs for all the items I would like, so that I can budget and digitally stash the bits and pieces I am after. Organisational winning! :)
I did invest in one little gem today as it is not strictly speaking for my new flat. I bought a wonderful little book called Sew La Tea Do by Pip Lincolne. I have had my eye on it for a while as I have read great reviews. It includes a collection of patterns for some ace projects, including a tunic dress, cushions and bean bag and a wrap skirt. Really excited to get started on them!
