| LIFESTYLE | My Favourite Season: Autumn

Autumn has rolled around again, and this pleases me greatly. In homage to my favourite season, I’ve listed some of my reasons why I just love this time of year!

©       Those bright sunny mornings but with a chill in the air
©       Chunky knit jumpers and scarves
©       Autumnal colours such as mustard, burnt orange and burgundy
©       Seeing rows of trees all turning different shades of yellow, gold and red
©       Crunching through the mounting piles of fallen leaves on the ground
©       The excitement of seeing pumpkins start to appear in supermarkets
©       Pumpkin picking!
©       Baking fruit pies and crumbles
©       Starting to add cinnamon to drinks or puddings…because you can!
©       Digging out the dark berry-coloured lipsticks and wearing darker colours of nail polish
©       That precious hour in the afternoon when the sun is starting to set, casting a golden light over everything
©       Dusting off your winter coat and feeling a bit excited to be wearing it out again
©       Wearing thick woolly socks- all day, every day!
©       Autumn scented candles such as apple cinnamon, salted caramel and spiced pumpkin
©       Starbucks Pumpkin spiced lattes!
©       Getting out all your throws and blankets and making a nest in the middle of them on the sofa
©       Lighting every candle you have because it’s the time of year to start getting cosy
©       Making plans for bonfire night and stocking up on sparklers and marshmallows



Have I missed any out? I'd love to know what your favourite part of Autumn is!

| 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...
