Apart from your family!

And where did you get it from?

It can be anything from a home appliance, a piece of furniture, the tiles in your bathroom or your patio lights. I'm looking for inspiration for our new home and I'd love to hear your thoughts about what's worked really well for you. Thanks!

Few things. A Queen Anne chair we bought with wedding present money - it's very glam

A dresser I have upcycled

My baby's changing table / chest of drawers (distressed white with oak top)

I love the paint colour in my living room (Little & Greene Celestial blue) its just so divine!

I also love the fact I have turned the spare room into my own dressing room with wardrobe, dressing table etc. My own take on a walk in wardrobe Grin

My kitchen table seats 8 and was a bargain from Homebase, it was reduced to clear when we moved into our new home,we couldn't believe our luck.
It actually cost more to buy the 8 slate placemats and coasters that go on the table. Our last house didn't have room for a kitchen table so have one that's seats 8 is just fab.

My bed; Vi Sprung mattress, goose down duvet & pillows & Egyptian Cotton.
Cost per use is pennies & it's so worth it.

Our projector. We have white walls in the sitting room and a big sofa bed opposite the fireplace with a projector above it. We all cuddle up in bed with a duvet plus popcorn to have cinema night.

Am with LilMiss - my Vi spring bed - which I am just about to go to.

Bliss.

Are you happy with your projector skaen? I'm wondering if the picture quality is the same as a TV screen....

The projector itself is very old now - nearly 10 years. It isn't as good as a hd film on hd TV but gives anything else a very good run for its money.

Well worth considering then. They've probably improved somewhat in ten years! Thanks

I've thought of another favourite that I have: a pulleymaid in the utility room. It actually makes washing fun!!

Happyhens · 02/11/2014 13:22

I have lots...I adore our spiral staircase, log burner, Rayburn, wood beams and just the quirkiness of this house. Suits us to the ground.
