revamped bedroom :D !

Hello everyone
So as promised im writing about my newly decorated bedroom, the theme was vintage/shabby chic and I absolutely love it so im just gonna get straight into it and start showing you hehehe
This is dressing table I've owned for about 3 years from eBay we got a very good deal on it and I've loved it ever since having it and am so pleased on how well it fits in with my theme!

Closer image on the top part the mirror and the three drawers underneath are separate so you can move it around to where you prefer 

The beautiful wooden white heart looks so beautiful next to the mint wall and I thought it was the ideal place to put it :)

On the top of my dresser I have 3 pots two that are ones I have kept from Christmas presents which are the black and white ones - in the black one I keep all my eyeshadow/liner brushes and in the white all my face brushes, I have a mint one at the back which you may or may not be able to spot that was actually white and pink striped if I can remember rightly it was a stationary pot from wilkinsons but with the left over paint from my mint feature wall I decided to paint it and keep all my hair brushes and combs in!

On top of the drawers I keep all my makeup collection in is where I place my obsession with candles :/ and my tv, at the moment I have a skittles candle in strawberry which is amazing, a red jelly candle all the way from Hungary which was a beautiful present from my friend katie I also have two other little candles on there from katie that were part of my Christmas present and also some basic vanilla tea lights. I don't understand why I have such an obsession with candles I just love the atmosphere they bring when lit and I also enjoy the smell, an ideal place to put candles is on the side of a bath tub while having a relaxing soak as it makes it seem so much more relaxing!

And this is where my own craft work starts ...

These two boxes were bright colours and one was a very shiny gold I really needed the boxes to store things in and therefore didn't want to throw them away even though they didn't match my vintage look but then became Pinterest, I went to my local shop and brought some floral and vintage looking wrapping paper but instead wrapped the boxes in them and now they match perfectly ..

And I still have the storage two fantastic outcomes :D 

This is my "photo corner" as I like to call it I have three photo frames I have collected over time (and as you can see one doesn't contain a photo :( sadly this is because the title you can not see is friends and I don't have a photo with all my friends on yet but this is defiantly something that needs to happen) I also have two oldish cameras which I thought would be a little nice extra to add to my "photo corner" ;)

My bedding is the incomplete part of the room as I can not find ANY mint vintage looking bedding ANYWHERE at the moment but I am still on the hunt!!
Owl cushion - home bargains 


This is part of my photo canvas which you will see a little down there but I wanted to explain where the peacock feather came from - so in the school holidays we went to powis castle in welsh pool and in the gardens were 3 peacocks and also an extremely cute baby peacock and I was so glad to see that in the gift shop they sold the peacock feathers and couldn't resist :D 

Hehe just a couple of teddy bears that chill on my bed all day long :D the bigger white one is actually a hot water bottle disguised as a teddy hehe!


This is my desk as you can see not very organised and never will be :/ this is where I seem to blog and do homework and even do my nails sometimes


The two butterflies on my bedroom door are handmade if you search how to make origami butterflies they are super easy and at one stage my bedroom was coverd in these! The name thingy is actually a place name from a wedding I seem to create a collection of these for some reason but some people do put a lot of time and effort in to doing each individual one so it seems a stupid idea for them to just go in the bin 


And here it is another handmade craft item in my room I can't actually take the credit for this and nor can Pinterest because it was actually my mummy's idea but I think it adds such a homely feel to the room :)

So there it is my new and much improved room still a few bits that need work but I hope you have gained some ideas from this post sorry that it ended up a little long :/ 
Thanks 
Cheerio!x :D
