It's the weekend again, the weeks seem to be flying by. Last weekend we visited Harvey Norman and I couldn't believe how much it has changed, they now have beautiful furniture at affordable prices and lovely home accessories. I bought a lovely towel in the home section. They have a stylish catalogue out now too. Below are just a few images from them. I know some people are really fed up with chevron but I still love it! I particularly like the grey and yellow in this image. This bedroom looks very country cottage but with a contemporary twist with the bedding.

Below is a lovely french style dining table and chairs with lovely accessories. I love this, however the white on the chairs wouldn't stay clean in my farming household.

And finally, how pretty is this bed? The bedding is Jigsaw from Harvey Norman. They also stock lots of Orla Kiely items.

I came across these wonderful bedroom images below on the House to Home website, what do you think? I love them all, some are country cottage style, others lovely pastel colours, some vibrant colours and lots of patchwork and pattern too. You could spend ages and ages on their website looking through all the interiors, so much inspiration.... Now all I have to do is decide what way I want my spare bedroom to look...

Some images of items you will find in my spare bedroom. I spent this afternoon cleaning floors, cleaning my new kitchen units, trying to order wedding invites and moving a few items to the new home. What have you been up to? I am finished with my job and starting my new job in January so that gives me a bit of time to start ticking items of my "to do" list. Tomorrow I want to try and move some furniture to the new house but it is so wet I may have to wait until the rain clears. 

Just another of my interior design idea pages that I prepared last year, this one focuses on a bedroom with hues of blue. Blue reminds me of the sky, the lakes and the ocean here at home in Ireland. I love blue, especially baby blue. This bedroom has an airy feel with hues of blue from the sky, lakes and ocean. It takes a crisp white palette and adds hints of blue. This creates a truly calming and relaxing retreat which soothes and brings tranquility into your life. Enjoy!

 

 {All things nice...}

If you like some built in wardrobes for storage here is a nice range from John Lewis. Isn't the wee fireplace cute adding some character to this room, to me it is pretty but somewhat claustrophobic with the units built all around the bed. The wallpaper on the chimney breast adds a bit of elegant to this room.

This room found on Channel 4 Homes website is so me! I love the simple colour palette of white and blue, the detail on the bed is really sophisticated and the mirror dressing table is very glamorous. Again this room has a girly chandelier- Love it! The different shades and patterns of floral blues tie the room together.

From Ideal Home, this bedroom is most like my bedroom at home only I have white windows and lighter pine wood furniture.

Another wonderful bedroom which I adore from Country Living, it is very eclectic and has a mix of colours which for me works really well, there is a mix of traditional and modern and of metal and wood but all ties so well together. I am not into positioning beds up against windows as it blocks light and for me never looks just right- I like to be able to see the window and light from my bed :)

As you may have realised I like my blue bedrooms. This is another room from Ideal Home I would never think of a blue and white bedroom with a hint of red but this modern folk bedroom is really pretty and stylish, don't you think??? I really like the floral patern on the bed linen and the red curtains! This bed is the same type of bed as mine only mine is in pine. I like enclosed lockers to keep my books and pens in however I really like these ones they are very simple and pretty and I'm sure they are cheaper too :)

This pale bedroom is very serene and relaxing and looks like an ideal place to relax. It is from Ideal Home. I can just see my wee tattered teddy sitting on the bed, but for some reason I  feel the need to add a hint of pink or blue, I think that's because colours create a sense of warmth and as the weather isn't that sunny or warm in Ireland I like to make a place feel warm. An all white palette is just too cold and clinical for me so I would pop a wee pink or blue fluffy cushion in the middle of this bed or a colourful crochet blanket at the bottom just like this one

  

Hope you enjoy looking at these beautiful bedrooms with me and get some inspiration from them, are there any bedrooms or styles  in particular that you like?
