The lovely bit of your house

So, in my head I have a house straight out of a swanky interiors magazine, but in reality with 2 teenage boys, a full time job and a life, it's a very long way from that.
However, one little corner of the bathroom always gives me joy.
I thought it would be nice to post a picture of the tiny little bit of your house that gives you hope, even if like mine the rest of it is full of discarded trainers, laundry waiting to be put away and last night's left over pizza.

My happy hallway 💙💖💜💛

Love it!

I bought the house i grew up in (sentimental old fool that I am) and here in an alcove in the kitchen my mother always had a cute little Welsh dresser. Unfortunately I couldn't find one to fit so I had a kitchen fitter to put this in and I just love it! With all my cooking bits & pieces.

My other favorite place is the arbour,, it's bliss to sit with a coffee or a beer watching the fish and newts 🩷

@PinkPondQueen absolutely beautiful 😍

@Optimalise

It looks like a nice little sanctuary there. Glad you are healed/healing.

Deathraystare · 07/06/2023 07:40

It is lovely what you all have done. Nice to have one lovely spot at least.

I am in a housing association flat, just one room to myself, the rest shared. I am limited in what I can do because the room is so small and I need to finish tidying up! Still I am grateful I have somewhere to live in London that I would otherwise not be able to afford!!

I at least found some lovely duvet covers which look very nice!!

I have lots of favourite places in my home, it is my sanctuary and the place i bought after my divorce several years ago, this spot shows off my love of colour.

This is where I have a cup of tea and do my morning devotions, a coffee and a good book, a glass of wine and call my sister

Love it when the rain is pattering on the skylights or when the doors are wide open and sun pouring through

Gorgeous - such a good use of space. Inspiration for a weirdly shaped area under the stairs, where I need to add some storage that looks nice. The pond looks lovely too.

PinkPondQueen · 07/06/2023 10:34

Thank you 💖 good luck with the under stair storage project!

Two of my cat pics - the first cut out from a tee shirt when the rest wore out, the second an actual painting I got for 55 cents from an op shop.

But the loveliest bit of the house is wherever these two are.

I love your throw, it's a beautiful colour, and your cats. Did you make it yourself?

Thank you! Yes, I knitted it a few years ago. It’s various colourways of Noro Ito - world’s most expensive cat bed bedspread! 😄

I LOVE your cat art 😍😍😍

I love your chairs, your cushions, and your cat!

tallcypowder · 25/06/2023 08:06

The chairs were quite cheap at B and Q.

KittenCatt · 27/03/2024 19:24

My haven.

The previous owners ripped out the original fireplace of my house. Thankfully, I found one on FB marketplace for £50. ❤

This corner of my "project house". Lounge is the only room done and this is my view from the sofa of an evening...chills me out!

I loved this thread so very pleased to see it resurrected!

@KittenCatt I love this fireplace!

KittenCatt · 27/03/2024 20:22

@Butteredtoast55 Thank you. It has really transformed our lounge
