little things that brighten up the place/make the house a home etc

[cheesesarnie]

were moving(did i mention that already?)and want some nice 'bits' to go in new home.cant afford furniture etc but am thinking cushions etc.
any other ideas?oh and a carpet runner(i neeed one)

I always think a nice vase of flowers brightens up the place...

yep flowers goodidea

A pint of Guinness looks good anywhere!

Books. I always feel that a room without books is somehow sterile and lifeless.

Potplants. Stephanotis is very good: easy to care for, with beatiful dark green leaves and wonderfully fragrant white flowers.

Colourful curtains or voiles. Ikea!

Lots of photos - cheap but nice frames in eg woolies, matalan, tk maxx.

what about some lovely bunting???

i have it all over the damn place

drape some fabric round the windows in the living room, i remember when i moved in to my house i had furniture and mats and all sorts of nic nacs but the room still felt really bare with out curtains so we improvised until i could afford nice curtains.

m & s have some lovely silver sequinned cushions, but they're probably not to all tastes
