Bathroom Decoration Complete pt2

As I said in the first Bathroom Decorating post I was waiting on my floor, well today it came! On Monday night I had to rip up the old lino floor, it was a challenge to say the least... It took me the best part of an hour and I was all red faced and hot and sweaty but after I got the last piece up - I felt amazing!

Today after the floor fitters left I couldn't wait to take some snaps, my bathroom finally felt complete!

I found these two little succulents when I was browsing Homebase for some indoor plants to put in some macrame planters I bought. I couldn't leave without them, they were £5 each and fit in perfectly with my new bathroom!

My new vinyl is from Carpet Right, I got it in one of their regular sales and their fitters were on time and super fast! It is so soft and bouncy and I literally cannot wait to go have a bath in my new bathroom right now!

Feeling Thankful

This is a weird kind of year for me where it's not soon enough to think about Christmas and everyone around me seems to be super in the mood for it. I'm working Boxing Day this year so that means I'll be travelling back from Devon on Christmas Day and spending Christmas Night and Boxing Day on my own (apart from cleaning the cats) so maybe that's why I feel totally out of the loop.

The Americans have Thanksgiving (and the creepy Black Friday that us UK folk have seem to gone bonkers for in the past 2 years) which is this week, it seems to be like a little pre-holiday which I think would be amazing to get you in the festive mood. I was given an idea by Ocean about sharing some home-based things that I am thankful for, so here they are: 

My Home:

I haven't shared much of my house on here, I'm not sure why, I think it just doesn't photograph how I really feel about certain rooms. My living room and dining room are my fave, the feel is so cozy and I just don't think any pictures could capture how it really looks. Maybe I will do a few pics of close up things I love one day soon. The first picture in this post is in my dining room and shows my bookcase which is a highlight for me as books (or more specifically all of the books I own) are just something I love to pick up and browse through and  I'm forever collecting books on topics I am interested in. 

The second picture is where I am sat right now, I have a spare room which has a cute little day bed in and a desk which I can actually sit at and enjoy using. It is also currently housing Spirit although he is finding his feet around the house. 

I think the next stage for my house is going to be doing up my bedroom and giving my bathroom a teeny makeover to make it feel more cozy for bathtimes.

The Cats:

In my opinion my house would not be a home without the cats. At first it was just me and Prince but I felt like I couldn't give him attention all the time. In the flat it was easy, there were two of us and also it was so small and he went out alot but here he likes to go out for a bit and then come back home and play with all his toys. 

Now Spirit is back with us I'm really hoping they tolerate each other enough to possibly play with each other and knacker each other out while I'm working all day and snoozy when I'm back. Prince will always be my number 1 boy but now Spirit is here I do have to think about him too. Right now I alternate nights of who sleeps in my room and they are both super snuggly cats but currently both want the same spot on the bed!

Obviously things like family, health and working a job I love I am totally thankful for too but my little home is my place where I can do whatever I want and I love it! Bed at 8pm? Sure! Netflix and stuffing my face with Quavers? You betcha! Leaving the dishes overnight? I 100% am!

What are you feeling most thankful for?

September Round-Up

Autumn is in full swing now and I love it!

Here is a roundup of my September and what's to come in October: 

My boss-eyed buddy has been sitting in the bath with me again. I love his little face so much!

I love this ugly fish transfer tattoo (I almost wish he was real) which I was sent along with a few other cool designs from Fickle Tattoos.

A few new home additions.
The butterfly/moth ceramic coasters (I mentioned them here) from my Auntie, A cactus letter holder from my Mumma and a cute little trinket box c/o Casey English.

I re-did my pink and purple hair.

I was asked if I had any festive baking tips for Rodda's to feature on their packaging leading upto Christmas. I gave them a tip and they decided to use it! I got this amazing package as a thankyou and my tip is in-stores now! I really hope I find it on the shelves!
The pack included clotted cream and Cornish butter but obviously they went right to the fridge.

I got a pin-board for a bargainous £3 in WHSmiths. I added some mermaid looking sequins and some cute patterned fabric as a border to jolly it up a bit.  

October is right here and it is my faveourite month! I will be decorating the house in a Halloween theme and also have lots of Halloween DIY's and outfit posts at the ready!

Hope September has been awesome for you!

Garden Tour.

Howdy!

Today I thought I'd show you around my garden as you may have caught the sneak peak in my last outfit post :)

I really love our garden, there is SO much wildlife about! I used to be deathly afraid of spiders and bugs but I really don't know what has happened but I am actually embracing the amount of creepy crawlies that are living in our garden! I've also found 2 toads and got to pick one of them up. There are lots of cats, a dog that lives above us who plays outside and also squirrels!

Prince isn't allowed out without his harness for the first 2 weeks, ALL the cats keeps coming to the window to suss him out and he's going crazy!

We have 2 benches, a BBQ, washing line and a greenhouse! Plus 2 planters and 2 big spaces to grow flowers.

This leads down to the people above us' garden.

There is a tree fulled of pink and purple flowers that Bee's LOVE! They get super full and fall on the floor where they act all drowsy for a while then fly off :D

So that is out garden! I can't wait to share the rest of the house with you but it's taking longer than expected to find a home for everything we own! We are in desperate need of a tall (rather than wide) bookshelf but can't afford/find one that isn't one of those IKEA Billy ones :/ - do you have any ideas?

Hope you had a great 3-day weekend! I spent mine with friends and just chilling out on the sofa while Ross made us a roast dinner :D
