  • Hey guys, so welcome back, I hope you're all really well! I have a home video for you

  • today. I haven't done one of these for a while. I have a few new additions around the

  • place, nothing major as of yet but I have a few furniture pieces and a few little decor

  • things and I love watching home videos and I'm sure you guys do as well so, I'm going

  • to show you some of the little things I can pick up, also I'm gonna give you a few little

  • peeks around the house, where everything else is living, so. There are three rooms that

  • I've kinda been concentrating on recently, the lounge, the bedroom and the bathroom.

  • You guys will have probably seen some of my bathroom in my recent videos but I'm gonna

  • start off with my bedroom because I have a new bed coming soon which I'm really exited

  • about, I will show you guys that when it turns up, finally. It's been about six weeks in

  • the making. But I wanted a few new bits to accessorise it with, some new pillows and

  • things. I love buying pillows, who doesn't really? So I have a couple of new ones starting

  • with, this fluffy awesomeness. So this is from Oliver Bonas, probably the most I ever

  • spent on a fluffy cushion but I saw that Suzie had one of these and it's kind of different

  • because if you turn it over, it's round. I haven't come across any round fluffy cushions,

  • all the ones that I do have are square and this one's a little bit smaller too, I liked

  • that it was a bit kind of more compact. But I like this one, I love the colour it's a

  • very subtle kind of taupey pink, it's almost somewhere between lavender, lilac and pink.

  • It's currently sitting on my pink chair in the bedroom and I think those two colours

  • go together really nicely. On that chair as well I have another cushion, this one is a

  • similar colour actually if I hold the two up together you can see. This one is slightly

  • lighter but this one is still a really nice taupey, lilacy, pinky colour. This is actually

  • from H&M home, I think they do amazing cushions and just amazing everything else when it comes

  • to homeware but I do really like their cushions they're super affordable and it's a nice

  • size I think it fits really nicely again, on the pink velvet chair, it doesn't overpower

  • it and I think it looks really nice with the fluffy one. I love velvet anyway, I love velvet

  • everything. One day my dream is to have a pink velvet sofa, but we'll see, we'll see

  • about that. I've lived in this house for, getting on

  • two years now and theres a lot of big walls and kind of empty spaces and I really haven't

  • spent a lot of time thinking about prints and dressing them. But now is the time it

  • seems, as you can see this one, this massive print I've had since Christmas and I've

  • only just hung it but I absolutely love it, that one is also from Oliver Bonas if anybody

  • was wondering. So the two I have in the bedroom are from

  • Desenio, I think I'm saying that right, I'm probably not.

  • I went for the NAMASTAY in bed print which I thought was the perfect thing to actually

  • hang over my bed and its very simple, I went for a black frame with that one.

  • So the other print that I have which is a portrait style one, the other one I have landscape,

  • is a kind of take on Chanel, Coco Chanel, it says Coco and I think it says I don't

  • do fashion or I do fashion or something like that. But again I love the simplicity of it,

  • it's very minimal. So I love those prints, I have a couple more around the house as well

  • but those are definitely some of my favourites. And then the final thing in the bedroom which

  • is kind of new is a plant. I can't believe that I've actually brought, not one but

  • quite a few plants into my house recently, I'm not great with living things.

  • This one is called a Mother's Tongue though I believe and they are quite easy to take

  • care of, they don't need a lot of watering, they don't need a lot of maintenance they

  • just kind of sit there, and I really like it, it's a nice pop of green in the room.

  • I've also read that one is supposed to be really good for the air and just kind of refreshing

  • it and keeping it healthy. Which I think is nice to have in the bedroom.

  • I actually ordered that one online which I think is amazing, I was so pleased with how

  • it came, it was perfect, exactly what I wanted but I find it really hard to find the types

  • of plants that I like unless I'm kinda trawling around various different garden centres and

  • things like that. The planter that I have that one in is another H&M Home find. It's

  • a really pretty kind of, off pink colour, it's kind of quite earthy but it definitely

  • has a hint of pink in it and the paint is almost kind of slightly marbled on it, I really

  • like the effect of that. So those are all the new bits I have in the

  • bedroom and then if we move across the hall into the bathroom. This room I like to keep

  • very minimal, very muted, not a lot of colour in it. I find it just makes it much more calming

  • space and it's become the space that I really like to spend a lot of time in.

  • So the biggest change for me and one that I'm so happy that I made, was to get a big

  • set of chest of draws in there, now I know not everybody has a lot of space

  • in the bathroom, I'm quite luck to have a large bathroom which I think used to be

  • a bedroom before it was converted. I used to have quite a lot of shelves with

  • lots of things out, I have a lot of beauty products doing what I do

  • so they was just scattered everywhere and they made everything look so untidy and disorganised.

  • So everything now lives inside the draws and I will be showing you kind of what exactly

  • is inside there in my clear out series, the next one of those is coming up on Friday so

  • keep an eye out for that. But basically all my skincare lives in there,

  • anything else that I need in the bathroom; body stuff, hair stuff, it's just so, so handy,

  • so I love that. I think it's a really beautiful chest of draws too, it's just from IKEA, it's

  • from the Hemnes range. I have a few bits from that range dotted around the place but those

  • chest of draws I think are gorgeous. And on top of that I wanted to keep things very minimal

  • again, nothing too cluttered, not many products or anything out. So I have three things. Oh

  • I have them here I can show you. My favourite of the three definitely has to

  • be this mirror. This I actually got in Next. I was so pleased with myself when I found

  • this. Oh you can see my collection of alcohol reflecting

  • from the bar cart. So this style of mirror, the marble stand

  • with the kind of twisty round mirror at the top, I'd seen quite a lot on Pinterest and

  • places like that. So I found this online, originally this was

  • silver the frame I actually spray painted gold, it was kind of simple actually I just

  • put some masking tape around it, popped the mirror out of the base and then put everything

  • back together again. Highly recommend having some spray paint in

  • the house because it can instantly change the look of something and I think this looks

  • really nice now that it's gold, it kinda fits the theme of the rest of the bathroom.

  • Also this base is not real marble, it's plastic but the marble effect is really, really good.

  • Some faux marble items can look kind of just really, really fake and cheap but I think

  • this one is nice. I also have another marble piece on there,

  • this one is actually real marble and you can see it doesn't look that much different

  • to the mirror. This is another piece from Oliver Bonas.

  • So it's got a little gold handle on the top and it's just a plain box, it's pretty big

  • you can fit a lot in here but I keep my jewellery and my hair bands, earrings, all the kind

  • of stuff that I wear on a daily basis I just throw in here and then I can go back in the

  • morning and put them on again. So I love how this looks and I think really

  • kind of finishes off the whole table as well. So another thing that I think H&M Home are

  • really, really great for are baskets. They do so many different kinds of these, different

  • shapes, different colours, I have quite a few. So I got this one, which is in this kind

  • of matte gold effect which matches the mirror and then the little pot, just to finish off

  • the top of the chest of draws. I was planning on putting maybe like bath bombs and products

  • and things like that in here and I might still do that if I have any, but for now it's housing

  • another planter and another plant that I have in the bathroom. That planter is also from

  • H&M, it's a very simple kind of honey comb effect. But I kind of like the way it looks

  • inside this little basket, I might end up moving it but I think these are just so useful

  • for anything really. And then the last room that I've been adding

  • a few new bits to is the lounge, this one's probably the more dramatic one because I have

  • a big piece of new furniture in here. One that I'm just so, so happy with I think

  • it is my favourite find I've ever made in Homesense. It's a pink and gold velvet chair.

  • It's really soft velvet, it's scalloped at the back, it has amazing gold legs. It's just

  • everything I've always wanted in a chair. It's quite big as well so it's super cosy,

  • if I sit on it I can really tuck my legs up and just get very comfortable. And I have

  • a big sofa I the lounge but I've kinda been missing having an arm chair or just another

  • chair for people to sit in there when they come round.

  • So I think that one is perfect for that it's sitting in the corner right now, I might move

  • it around in the future but I really like it where it is now, it's kind of become my

  • little reading nook. I sit there quite a lot. I've seen similar chairs to it online from

  • places like Jonathan Adler and West Elm which are so expensive, usually over a thousand

  • pounds, and this one I got for under two hundred which I think is so good so, it definitely

  • pays to pop into Homesense as often as you can if you have one nearby.

  • So let's go back to pillows, or should I say cushions? I think these are more like cushions

  • than pillows. I wanted some more kind of, more earthy looking,

  • rustic prints and colours. My words are failing me, but I went for three different ones and

  • the first of which is this. This is kind of a, it's almost like blue polkadot actually

  • although it looks a bit more black, or grey if you're further away.

  • But, I love polkadot cushions. So this one is a cushion cover from H&M.

  • So I have one of these that kind of sits in the middle of the sofa, and then I have two

  • of these ones they're kind of, very canvasy feeling they feel a little bit rougher. They're

  • still super comfortable, really soft and squishy but they have this, black design on them.

  • Again I think they're really simple but they still have that kind of vibe. Someone please

  • tell me the world I'm looking for to describe this type of decor style. But I really like

  • these ones so I have two of those. And then the final two are this, I wanna say

  • this is pink although it is very browny, earthly again. It has a hint of pink and I thought

  • they tied together really nicely so I have two of these. These are from Urban Outfitters

  • and they're a little bit different, they're not as soft as the H&M ones, they're kind

  • of slightly harder. I think the three of those together, the three different patterns look

  • really great on the sofa, I also just have and old grey throw which I think is from Primark

  • actually. One of the best things I've ever bought in Primark that throw. So that kind

  • of just sits on the back of the sofa and ties everything together.

  • So I have a plant as well in the lounge, there is a plant in literally every single room

  • now. This one is probably my favourite one though, it's a Cheese plant, which is called..

  • There is a more technical name for it which I think begins with 'M'. I think it's a Monstera plant?

  • Monstera plant?

  • They're the super kind of classic fern leaf shape which I have on a lot of different things,

  • I have some faux leaves here and even this little gold thing up here is in the shape

  • of one of the Monstera leaves. I ordered this one online along with the one

  • in my bedroom. It's doing okay, it's probably the one that I need to give a little bit more

  • love and attention to, it sits in a corner at the moment so I think that might be the

  • reason it's not as healthy as it could be but, I still think it looks great. And I have

  • that in a kind of white, origami style planter. And then the whole plant and everything sits

  • on top of a little gold three legged table which I actually found in Sainsbury's for

  • about fifteen pounds. I was shocked when I saw that, I think Sainsbury's do some really

  • good homeware stuff so it's always worth looking at their homey bits while you're there.

  • So last thing I have to show you are these coasters.

  • I love a coaster, I think they are so underrated and I don't often use coasters for putting

  • glasses on, I think they're so great to have candles on top of, vases. Any little ornaments

  • and knick knacks and things like that, I just like to put coasters underneath them.

  • These are, I think they're kind of like a marble effect, they're white stone, but the

  • edges they have this copper paint on them. I'm not massively into copper anymore I think

  • it was definitely a trend that, at the time I loved and I was all about but kind of over

  • they years it's not held up as much as I thought it would so I've been replacing a lot of the

  • copper things in my house with just gold which I think is a lot more classic.

  • But I did love these, I think they're really pretty and they're a bit more subtle than

  • bright copper all over coasters. Yeah, so these two I actually use for candle

  • holders. I have a candle sitting on a shelf on this one and a candle sitting on my shoe

  • cupboard on this one. I think they look so pretty that way and they

  • did come in set of four so, I have the other two somewhere around the house. I think one

  • of them is being used as a proper coaster but, most of the time I use these for other

  • things. So those were all my new home additions, I

  • hope you liked this video, give it a thumbs up if you so like these kind of more homey

  • style, homeware haul type of videos and I will definitely have a look at that and make

  • some more if you do like them. I'm thinking about maybe doing a few room

  • tours soon so again, tell me below in the comments if you wanna see those and which

  • room in particular you would like to see me to do first.

  • So that is it from me today, thank you guys all so much for watching and I will see you

  • soon. Bye!

Hey guys, so welcome back, I hope you're all really well! I have a home video for you
