Show me your favourite thing in your house

THis is mine, my first ever piece of art! It's currently packed away ready for the house move. I also have a canvas that is incredibly outed but I laugh every time I see it :)

This blanket

Name change as I have two that will out me if you've ever been to my house.

This is one. My In Omnia Paratus poster. I love pop culture artwork, but it has to be subtle. Something that stands alone, and if you know, you'll get it straight away. I saw this on Etsy and coveted it for months. My husband loved it too (also a fan) and bought it for me. I try not to think how much it cost (we had it shipped from the US). Worth every penny.

My other thing is our hall floor. The old floor was bland and boring, and whilst there was nothing wrong with it, it was just meh. So we put these tiles in. We get lots of compliments.

I also love my Dunelm curtains as seen in the poster photo. We have ridiculously high ceilings in our bedroom and they drop from ceiling to skirting (I didn't want them on the floor). We have two windows so they look fabulous.

@SpyApp cockapoo?

@AnneJeanne that's absolutely gorgeous! Where is it from?

christmasnamechange19 I completely need that in my house!!

My beautiful floor lamp that I lusted after for ages and saved hard for

Am loving all of your possessions. It's a lovely thread.

My treadle sewing machine. Originally my great granny's. Still works.

@christmasnamechange19 adore the tiles!!

Having a window by the stairs.

I am aware that I am pathetic but has to be my little britain stuff, This is all I can have out, as I don't have the room lol. the rest of it is in storage, been collecting it all for years.

This is my top favourite piece as I fell totally in love with her on seeing her in a gallery window in Barnard Castle - it's by an artist called Marie Prett.

@SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock I fought (and lost) to get that chair!

We have a green one 😑

@SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock I have that chair !

My coffee table I got from a guy who hand makes all his stuff. I love it!!

Haha, so many Ikea chairs! I call mine the 'sunshine chair'.

@IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece

I don't know if she did another one. Etsy is the place to go.

@RedWine123 Thanks

@Chelsea26 I love that domino table!

@coffeeaddict8 Your painting is beautiful.

Can I have another favourite thing? Basically my whole living room. But specifically my 1930s tub chairs bought at auction, our fireplace, and mg travelling trunk, which is completely filled with my yarn.

We went to the auction room to look at something else, and these were so striking that they just stood out. Showed them to DH who really liked them too. They were a steal at £60 for the pair.

The trunk is from an Antiques shop next door to where I used to work and it was just outside on the street with random chairs and stuff one day as I walked past. It was a bargain at £20. I opted to carry it home rather than go and get my car. I regretted that within two minutes. It weighs an absolute ton.

Love my living room. It's evolved naturally since we bought the house as we've bought different things and updated it. It's done now though.

An orchid given to me by DPs auntie when I was discharged from hospital after having DD. It was flowering and really made me grateful to be home. It's coming up to two years old and flowers every few weeks. It probably needs repotting or something because it's tripled in size but I'm too scared to do anything to it.

My cat and my bed.

My fire first thing I bought when I moved in 6 years ago

I also like this drawing of a baby hare. It’s the only thing I’ve ever drawn that I’m actually proud of. It’s framed and on the wall now, but I don’t tell anyone I drew it.

@Pinkarsedfly That's gorgeous!! We have a similar drawing that we bought because we liked it so much.
