In Your Room

I thought I'd share some pictures of my shiny new boudoir - it's finally done - whoop


I finally have a chimney breast wall like a blank canvas, perfect for all the 60's kid pictures and various wall art I've collected 



I had such a narrow space for a bedside table that I had to use my imagination a little.   After some frantic internet searching I discovered the Tam Tam stool.  I'd never heard of them before but apparently they were all the rage in the 60's after Bridgette Bardot was photographed sitting on one.   Read a little more here.  The other thing I like about them, apart from the fact that they look like oversized game counters, is that you can pick them up dirt cheap and they look great.  Fits right in with my 60's theme


Flamingo lights


I found this rather obscure film poster on Allposters.  The clip frame was picked up dirt cheap online.  Not a film I'd heard of before but it looks right up my street.




Best document storage ever


I bought this plain lightshade from Ikea and covered it with an old pillowcase using this tutorial.  I must admit I am rather proud of it for a first effort


Nail varnish and perfume stash against my teal and pink voiles


My curtains in all their glory.  I bought some giant vintage bedsheets on Ebay, wonder webbed them and got my mum to sew on some curtain tape.  Couldn't be bothered with lining them as we already have blackout blinds for when the babs is sharing our room




Close up of my new pink vanity mirror


...which magically opens up to store my jewellery and ephemera

And that would be my massive 34 week bump you can see in the reflection

Next up the nursery…

  9. You as adorable as your place! I love how clean and CUTE everything looks. Your Tom Tom night stand is so simple and bright. I think the lampshade stole my heart, what a great idea and you executed it perfectly. I think your space perfectly reflects you Lucy. I think the curtains are sweet too!

  13. You know what Lucy? I've just picked myself up off the floor. Yes, I'm completely and utterly gobsmacked at the gorgeousness of your bedroom. It really is so very, very beautiful, right down to the pink flamingo lights! At the moment I'm taking a wee break (read: procrastinating on the intawebz) from packing, as we move into another house on Monday week. The beauty of your hard work (which includes your beautiful Bebe Bump) has inspired me to carry on. In fact, I'm going to leave this tab open on the webz to give myself a kick up the arse every half an hour. Love the Redgraves and Michael York, so I'm sure that movie's a hoot, your lampshade DIY and curtains are SPECTACULAR and I adore the Tim Tam and your Bisley drawers. The colours are outta sight baby!!! xoxox
