Do you like White Bedrooms? I am always drawn to white interiors- the fresh, clean and crisp look of them. They look pretty too and very feminine. I tried to achieve a white guest bedroom in my home, but it was just too cold for me when I saw it in reality. It was lovely when the sun was shining but then when it was dull it felt cold and uninviting. For that reason I decided to add some pops of colour to liven it up and add some warmth. I know if you put different patterns, textiles and shades of white it works best but I just couldn't get it right. Then I thought it was because I have wooden doors, window boards and skirting boards so it wasn't fully the all white look. Even though I didn't go with the all white guest bedroom, it doesn't spot me from still loving white interiors and here are a few images of white bedrooms from the internet which I really like. I think they all are from Ideal Home. Do you like them? Have you a white room in your home?

I haven't posted much in the past few weeks but now that the Summer is over and the nights are getting longer, I will be posting more frequently. I haven't posted items I like in a long time so here goes. Below are a few items I like this week...

From top left: 

1. Paris scene t-shirt which I purchased from Next (nice for lounging around in)

2. Really loving the Pip Studio tile collection based on classic lace patterns

3. A good read from Lesley Pearse- lots of love and heartbreak, thanks to my sister in law for getting this for me (haven't it all read yet but I'm really enjoying it) and finally

4.  Bought this blue tile print dress from New Look, now that I see it, it looks really like the Pip Studio tiles :) Love the blue colours.

So there you have it, all the things that I like this week. Is there anything you are into this week?

Last weekend I visited Asda in Enniskillen and bought this lovely new king size duvet cover for just £14.00- such a bargain. It is really soft and suits our bedroom perfectly as it is light blue with cream furniture.

This weekend I took a look around Marks and Spencer and found the cutest home accessories! Check them out below, pretty patchwork stag's head, home sign and cute dog door stop. They are all floral fabric. Both Marks and Spencer and Next have lovely home accessories. I didn't buy any items for the house as I was on a mission to buy clothes. I will show you some images of all the Autumn clothes I bought in another post. The Autumn is really and truly upon us, the evenings are getting shorter and the weather is much cooler.  Hope you are all having a nice weekend.

I just spotted some of the new Cath Kidston Limited Edition Bird Print, it is so pretty! As you already know from reading my blog I love all things that take inspiration from the natural environment! My last post was on florals for those of you who may had a chance to see it! Cath Kidston's new Autumn range of fabrics features garden birds 'in warm, earthy autumnal tones of Cream and Olive, the hero print of the season is the latest in their rich history of bird prints'. It features the Robin, Blue Tit and Chaffinch so pop over to their website and have a look yourself! I love all things country and these cute bird prints are definitely some of my favourites.

Here are some of my favourite Cath Kidston Hanbags too!

Have you checked out Dunnes Stores online yet? Those of you from Ireland and the UK will be well aware of it, but for those of you further afield, it is an Irish retail chain based in Dublin Ireland. It also has stores in England, Scotland and Spain and you can now visit there online store. I love the new Carolyn Donnelly Eclectic Range from Dunnes, it is so in and so me too! Here are a few items in the range, from top left, set of four dinner forks €12.00, roman wall clock €65.00, lantern €12.00 and finally giant desk lamp €160.00.

 Here are a few extra inspiration images from Carolyn Donnelly's Eclectic Range. If you would like to see more visit Dunnes Stores online.

I am currently trying to pick some fabric for roman blinds in my guest bedroom which I posted about here. Have a look at the images of the prestigious textile collections below and let me know which you think I should pick. The guest room is painted white with white furniture so I hope to get the blinds made along with two cushions and maybe a bed runner? So have your pick and let me know what one you like?

I am still in the process of decorating our new home and you may have seen the photos of my guest bedroom which I painted white. I am trying to finish decorating and styling it and found these beautiful images above from the House to Home website. My guest bedroom has a metal frame bed, white walls and French style furniture. I would love some advise from you all on how to style it. I am uncertain what type of images/photos to hang on the walls. I am thinking of buying a roman blind for the window. Here are a few images of it below. I think a white duvet cover would look the nicest with a floral throw for the bed. The Cath Kidston duvet cover in the top right photo is a double bed size and too small for the King size bed. Any suggestions or images of how I could style this room?

Do you like wallpaper? Do you think it is a thing of the past? Well let me introduce you to Pip Studio wallpaper, it is so pretty, so vibrant and so on my wish list! How pretty would it look on one wall in a bedroom as a statement, so prehaps in an alcove. There are lots of styles and patterns to choose from, however I must admit they are very girly, lots of florals, pinks and pretty patterns- just the way we like it!

I went to IKEA last week and bought these pretty Rosali bed clothes for our bedrrom, the looks like CK but for half the price :) I thought they might be a bit hard but they are so warm and cosy- I love them :)

 

Last Sunday I had a lovely day out with my husband, he treated me to dinner out and we also went to a local Christmas Craft Fair. I bought a few things but couldn't leave this Amy Butler fabric handmade bag behind- Isn't it beautiful? I love all things blue and this pattern really stands out. Do you like Amy Butler fabric? I love the patterns. Here are a few more Amy Butler patterns below....

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...
