| HOME | Cheap....Saturdays??

This is a bit of a random post as it isn't my usual Cheap Tuesdays, but if you follow me on Instagram you will know that I was pretty poorly this week so I haven't stuck to my usual schedule. Luckily I feel a lot better now and yesterday I made it my mission to go to Aldi after work and hunt down the much hyped about candle range that is supposed to be a total dupe of the Jo Malone candles. Sadly no such luck on that front! I will make it my mission this month to get my hands on one though!

Anyway, while I was in there I obviously had to scout through the range of homewares and DIY bits and bobs they always have in the middle of the store, and I came across this total beauty of a tea light holder. As you all know, I'm really feeling the geometric vibe at the moment, and it was only £4.99! Absolute bargain! If you are selective (and just happen to be in the store at the right time) then Aldi is great for finding really affordable accessories for your home. The only downside is that you have to be in the position to buy an item then and there if you see it, as these items sell FAST. I've previously seen something in store but decided to hold out, returned later on that week, and it has completely gone!

I'm so pleased to have found this little tea light holder. It is just what I wanted to add to my bedside table along with my Urban Outfitters marble candle. The two look beautiful together!

Congratulations to anyone that has actually managed to get their hands on one of the Aldi candles!

| DIY | DIY Rustic Shelf

We've always needed more storage space in the kitchen. We have around 4 cupboards which we use for our appliances, cups/glasses/plates/bowls, tinned food and cereals, and a cupboard designated for general items we have no where to keep such as vases, tins of paint, dusters etc. We had a largish amount of blank wall that I knew I wanted to do something with, but other things in the flat always took precedence. Thanks to Instagram and Pinterest, I noticed that a lot of people were making shelves out of old bits of wood or scaffolding boards. Purely by chance a while ago, my other half was given 2 scaffolding boards by someone who had no use for them. Finally during some much needed annual leave, I pestered my Dad to help me with my project! I couldn't decide what brackets I wanted. I didn't want modern style brackets as that isn't really the "vibe" I go for. I was torn between antique-style cast iron brackets from Amazon , or some white distresse...

| HOME | A Look Inside AmysAnnexe's Home

My friend has recently moved into her own place, so I decided to pop over and pick her brain about all things homes and interiors! Hi, I’m Amy (amysannexe on Instagram) and I’ve lived in my home for 3 months. I’m surrounded by fields and rolling countryside which I love as it’s very relaxing…the only downside is the creepy crawlies that decide to take up residence inside! I’ve got a lovely little garden where I can grow vegetables and lots of flowers. It’s so quiet and tranquil around where I live. Describe your interior style: I would describe my interior as country style with modern touches. I like to add grey and copper accessorises with neutral-coloured furniture. My style has changed over the last few years as I used to have quite a girlie interior with pastel pinks and duck egg blue. My style has definitely matured as I’ve got older. Where do you take your inspiration from? A lot of it comes from Instagram and Pinterest. My f...

| DIY | Homemade Bedside Lights

The new room is coming together really well. Everything I had envisioned for it has turned out exactly right! One thing that I’m most happy with is our brand new shelf/bedside lighting. This was all done for well under £100. I was lucky enough to already have the wooden scaffolding board for my old kitchen shelf. My dad helped me to distress it as it was a brand new piece of wood. Click here to read about that process. In the new room, our bed is pushed up against the chimney breast which obviously juts out a bit compared to the rest of the wall on that side. When considering the space we had I realised that a bedside table either side of the bed just wouldn’t work. This then raised the question…where do we put bedside lamps? I’ve seen a few pictures floating around the internet showing large filament Edison bulbs hanging from either the ceiling or the wall either side of a bed. I loved the look as I’m a big fan of Industrial-looking interiors. This seemed like a l...
