    Guys…am I getting old? I’m writing a blog post on plants…
    In all seriousness though, Spring seems to have kicked me up the butt and now I’ve found myself seeking out those little green shoots that are echoing in the new season.

    Hello, room tour! I feel like this post has been a long time coming since it’s been almost three months since I, y’know, moved and all that. So far my home decor stuff has generally been confined to my bedroom at the moment, as downstairs is pretty communal I haven’t personally ventured into buying much for the house in general yet. I’ve got the biggest double in the house and since I shifted loads of the original furniture away from the walls I discovered that I have a tonne of space to fill up!

    So this is just a mini glimpse into what I’ve done so far – let’s ignore the fact that the rest of my room was too messy for me to want to tidy up and photograph for the post ok?…I’m trying to keep the lines clean and light. So there’s a lot of monochrome happening and smaller trinkets alongside the bare walls.

    My favourite part of my room so far is my (kinda-sorta) feature wall I found the string of fairylights with pegs in Primark and figured they’d be a p e r f e c t way to showcase my favourite postcards and my Strand tote (which I’ve decided is too nice to actually use, but pretty enough to display ^_^), especially as our estate agent has a thing against blue-tack, but not nails…weirdly. As expected there are quite a few little tributes to NYC around including my awesome Broadway pillow my sister got me for my leaving present.

    Now I’m a bit more settled in and that Spring is just around the corner I am so up for getting some greenery in as well as some cosier blankets and more pillows (having a double bed has been life changing guys!)

    Just in case you didn’t know I’m moving this weekend! And as a method of procrastination from actually packing up my clothes/room/life, I’ve picked out a little wish list of home decor bits for my new digs.

    Most of this wish list is comprised of soft furnishings, to make my bedroom as cosy as possible and to take advantage of the fact I have a double bed now ^_^ H&M home is killing it when it comes to home decor at the moment, I could’ve added their entire spring Home collection if I’m honest.

    I’m also looking for small organisational bits, a bookshelf (there isn’t one in the room at the moment, so my books are shelf-less until I get one!), and little home-y touches like lights. I may have to wean myself off candles but I am excited to try out The Body Shop’s reed diffusers.
