Home Decor - Nursery Chevron Wall

Today's post is just a quickie to show you some pics of our beautiful chevron wall my hubby has painted in our nursery.  

I saw pics on Pinterest and showed them to him one evening.  I said "Don't worry, I'm not expecting you to do this but how cool does it look".  To my surprise he replied that if it was what I wanted then he would do it.  Fast forward a couple of weeks and hey presto!

I am so pleased with how it has come out.  I will be doing a YouTube video Nursery Tour a bit closer to the due date when the nursery is complete but for now, this is a glimpse!

Real Tree Cat Tree Cattree Indoor Home Installation

Today's big reveal is a little something myself and husband spent some more time working on.

About a year or so ago we made our cat a cat tree, the original post can be found by clicking here.  Anyway, in that post I think I mentioned we had also obtained a real tree that we were going to turn into a cat tree once we had the time and means to do so.  We spent time de-barking it last summer and then it just sat in the garden for almost a year.

Well, Sunday we pulled our fingers out and decided to finally do something about the cat tree.  The reason why? We were putting up our Christmas tree and we didn't want the cat to climb that! Haha.

So, we grabbed our sisal rope, some snap hooks and brackets and set to work!

I have uploaded a video to my YouTube channel showing the process which you can watching by clicking here.

What do you think?!  I know not everyone would want a tree in their home but I love it, it is almost like a funky art installation as well as serving a purpose as a cat tree.  It also has a couple of platforms on it so that he can survey his land from up high.  You can tell who rules the roost can't you?!

Sorry about the unfinished plastering / walls in the background, we had an accident, they will be fixed soon!

Let me know what you think in the comments below, I would love to know :0)

Early Christmas present idea for the gaming geeks

Hey guys

I just wanted to quickly tell you about this amazing Tetris light I recently bought a friend of mine for his birthday.  

The most amazing thing about this, you can stack the blocks in any combination you like and they will light up, so long as the blue one is at the bottom.  It is soooo much fun and looks really effective too.  I just love it and secretly want one for Christmas for myself!

I am sure we all know a gaming geek or two that would just love this light and I really was so impressed with it I just had to share it.

The Tetris lamp was £24.99 from Argos.  It is available at Debenhams also but at £34.99 so I would definitely say shop at Argos!

Home Decor: Glitter Flowers In A Vase

Hey guys

This is just a very quick post to show you an idea I have used for home decor that I thought I would share with you in case any of you might love it as much as I do.

The colours of the flowers used match the colour theme of the room and it just really helps to add some elegance to the room, and I love it when the glitter catches the light of our spotlights.

I hope you like these photos and this idea.  Do you have anything like this in your home?

Muji Acrylic Makeup Storage Setup

Hey sparkles

Today, I wanted to show you my currently Muji Acrylic Makeup Storage setup.  I did a post on my original setup which you can find by clicking here but I have since added a larger two drawer unit and a tall 3 pot desk pot from Muji.

I am now very happy with my setup at the moment although when are we truly satisfied with the amount of makeup we own eh?!  I realise my makeup collection is very much a "beginners collection" but times are tight! For now though, I still have some space to use up so it should last me a little while.

Does anyone have the answer on how to clean acrylic storage pieces properly? I tried wiping mine with a wet tissue the other day as they had got a little bit dusty, but it still left a rough kinda texture on my Muji.

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Lush Bath Bomb Haul! - Christmas present

Hey sparkles

Guess what? I got some Lush Bath Bombs for Christmas! Guess what else? Somehow, I had never used one before!! This caused much excitement for me!

The picture above shows the set of 4 bath bombs which I received: Space Girl bath ballistic; Mini Comforter bubble bar; Think Pink bath ballistic; Creamy Candy bath bubble bar.

I have used two of the Lush bath bombs so far and they had completely different effects in my bath:




Space Girl Bath Ballistic



Think Pink Bath Ballistic
 

The Space Girl bath bomb was a beautiful smelling bath, I cant say I really noticed my skin feeling fresher or softer though.  It didn't leave any unwanted pink residue around the bath.

The Think Pink bath ballistic on the other hand was a gorgeous bubble bath and definitely made my skin feel smoother and moisturised.  I felt it the day after and even the day after that.

I cannot wait to use the last two and I shall be sure to record what happens when I do! :0)

Do you use Lush bath bombs? If so, which one is your favourite?
