My Ideal Home: Living Room

My Ideal Home: Living RoomQuirky, fun touches and pops of copper bring in the old trends of 2015 and put them smack bang into a funky fresh 2016!

What I love most about this is how the touches of bright yellow and teal just seem to work. Yellow and blue is a common combination, especially around summer time, but including darker pieces and copper is a little bit of a challenge. To combat this, I have added these pieces throughout the room and not clustered too many dark pieces together. My favourite piece here, is by far the orange bookcase. It compliments the copper bronze pieces and although this particular one is pretty expensive, you'd easily be able to copy it with a painted IKEA bookcase.

I hope you like my living room and maybe take some inspiration from it for your own space!

Update: Blogmas is OVER

Blogmas
Just to let you know that my blogmas is now over...

Completing a Christmas related post everyday is actually pretty hard and it needs to be planned.

I've learned that the hard way.

I'm not 100% happy with any if the posts that I have created for Blogmas and that's not what I want.
I know I said that the point of me completing Blogmas was so I could post everyday for a month, but forcing content for the sake of it... I'm not going to do that.

So, the new plan:

  • I am going to post more regularly 
  •  I am only going to produce and post content that I am happy with 
  •  I will post anything and everything whether that is just a little post about my nail varnish or a full on rant about wearing heels on cobble stones
  •  I am going to take part in more Twitter chats, comment on other people's blogs and make a few more blogging friends (send me your blogs!)
  •  I'm going to be more active on social media 

Ok, new plan in place... let's see how it goes!

Step 1... create a blogging plan.

My Christmas Wishlist

Blogmas
For anyone who is a little stuck for what to get me this Christmas, I thought I'd put together a little Christmas wishlist to give y'all a few ideas. I love all things girly and who would say no to a bunch of new accessories?!
Obviously, I love everything below, but in the comments, send me a link to your Christmas wishlist - I'd love to have a few ideas for loved ones myself!

Giving Up Blogmas?

Blogmas
So it's day 5 of blogmas, and so far, it's going ok...ish.

There's nothing planned in and all the posts are a bit hit and miss - yes, the content ain't great, but you know what - I am blogging - and that's a pretty big deal.
 
I thought about giving up with the whole blogmas thing today.
I thought: "It seems a little pointless."

Why should I give you mediocre content to read, content that isn't too exciting due to it revolving around my normal days and try and swing it so it has something, anything to do with Christmas?

And then it hit me.

I'm not only doing this for you (in the nicest way possible!) - none of this really started for readers. It has always been for me. A place on the internet to rant and rave, put my ideas down and have a little creative space. From this, I also remembered why I am doing blogmas - again, for me. To challenge myself and really get back into blogging, because you know what? - I bloody love it!

Once I start blogging more and getting the creative juices flowing (does that phrase freak anyone else out?!) I really hope to create some thought out posts that look good, have some depth and creativity in them, but for now, getting into the swing of regularly blogging is a pretty good start I think and if anyone else is thinking of starting a blog, hell! Go for it!

Maybe you'll take my approach and just ramble on the internet for five minutes a day - maybe people will like it, maybe no one will read it, but as long as you love it, keep on doing it.

So with that in mind, I think I will start enjoying blogmas that little bit more.
