Creative Home

All my creative energy is going in to our house at the moment. I've been working on the bedroom, but it's slow because my health isn't great, so baby steps. It's wonderful to decorate a room, and then get to enjoy it every day. It has always been my goal to make our home a refuge from the world, a place to replenish and relax, and it's beginning to feel like that for me. As always I love a bargain, and have made the most of sales and junk shop finds. The bed linnen and curtains were from Dunnelm sale and are really soft and cosy even though they look luxurious. I painted my pine chest of drawers and distressed it with Ranger distress ink!! So glad I have all this stuff ha ha! My fave find is the mirror, which I bought from the Katherine House Hospice charity warehouse in Stafford, it's well worth a visit if you get a chance. I paid £6 for this dark wood, tatty and uninteresting mirror, but I could see it had potential. I painted it and distressed it and now I LOVE it! Pictures to follow.
