Homeware Wishlist: Bedding




I have been loving Pinterest and searching the internet for bedroom inspiration just lately, and have come up with a little list of some lovely bedding items I think would look great together.

First on my list is this percale euro sham pillow from Parachute, who are a luxury bedding brand. From the description, it sounds like the most comfortable pillow. Next up is the J by Jasper Conran Grey and Blue striped 'Bingham' bed linen duvet set from Debenhams. I think that the euro sham pillow would look perfect ontop of the duvet set as the colours tie in perfectly. The Grey Brushed Herringbone Throw from Dunelm would look great to layer at the bottom of the bed ontop on the duvet, and would be great for those cold nights. Another cushion which I think is adorable is this one from Not On The Highstreet; called the Cow and Calf cushion. I think two of these (one each side of the euro sham pillow) would bring the bedding in together and look very homely. I really like the blues and greys and think they tie in really nicely together.

Frame Again










Do you find the task of finding a nice photo frame and then having to print off your photographs a hassle? I know I do. I love having photo frames and pictures dotted around my bedroom. I am a big fan of decorating my room with photo's, I love being able to reminisce on great memories. I really like  frames that are that little bit different and not your average 6x4 wooden frame, so anything cute or modern is always a winner in my eyes. I also find it irritating that I have so many Instagram pictures which are quite difficult to frame - it can be expensive to get them printed off and I have had trouble finding frames to completely fit the pictures due to Instagram's square fixed size.

 It is so time - consuming printing off pictures and then having to cut them to size to display in your frames - this is why I love Frame Again. They take away the hassle of printing the photographs as you simply upload your picture directly from Instagram or from your computer, and they arrive already fitted into your frame - which is also designed by you! You can choose the colours of the frame base and the frame ring - as you can see from my pictures I opted for a very classic black and white, simply because I think the colours are really versatile and will match the decor in every room of the house. The quality of the photo paper is really good, I wasn't sure how my image would look as it was taken from an iPhone but the printing is really good quality and I am impressed with the results.

Another fun fact is that the frames are actually free standing; as you can see from the images above; Frame Again frames are really attractive, modern and cute cube shapes with a thick base meaning they can stand alone without anything holding them up. Of - course, you can also hang the frames against a wall if you want to.
After browsing their website I also discovered that the frames have magnetic sides, so if you have a few frames this will make a great display altogether. This is how the frames work - with magnets. The frame itself is actually kept together by magnetic force, which makes it much more safer than having to bend the metal at the edge of a frame when changing pictures. I don't know about you but that is one of my pet peeves when changing photographs in frames.
You can even change the photo in the frame if you wish to, it is actually really easy and simple to do. Instructions are provided on the sleeve that the frame arrives with. Delivery is really quick and my frame arrived really well packaged.
Frame Again is such a straight-forward website to use, I really recommend Frame Again if you like to display your special pictures in a modern way.

The Christmas Boutique


Are you looking for beautifully crafted Christmas decorations for a reasonable price? I think I may have discovered probably one of my all time favourite Christmas Decor websites - The Christmas Boutique. 











Set of three Hanging White Glitter Star Decorations £9.99
Set of Two Angel Christmas Tree Ornaments with White Hearts £5.99
Set of Three Printed Bird Ceramic Hanging Decorations £.9.99
Set of Six Wooden Penguin Christmas Tree Decorations  £7.99
Small & Large Faux Snowball Christmas Display Confetti Set £7.99
Extra Long Fabric Star Advent Calendar with Felt Numbers £19.99
Set of Two Natural Linen Christmas Stockings with Stag Designs £14.99

The Christmas Boutique sell pretty much everything you need to decorate your home this Festive Season. From stockings, garlands, baubles and wall art, The Christmas Boutique have all you need for a beautifully decorated Christmas at just one stop.
When I was given the opportunity to feature some of their items on my blog, I jumped at the chance. I love Christmas, and after having a browse of their website, saw that they stock such a huge range of different decorations to suit anyones taste. They sent out a bundle of surprises, I did not know what I would receive which was really exciting. I am so impressed with all of the decorations. They are very 'me' and suit my taste perfectly. I prefer more traditional and modern decorations rather than garish ones, so I was thrilled to see a mix of traditional and modern decorations inside the package they sent out to me. I love the colours of the decorations, mostly creams with a hint of blues and greens. All of the decorations are very shabby chic and adorable. I absolutely love the advent calendar; the different materials made from each pocket is such great quality, I can't wait to start filling it with pictures and treats. The stag stockings are very simple yet sophisticated, I think I will use these just as decoration as they are just so pretty. The wooden penguin decorations are adorable and will look great hung on the tree. As well as the sweet angel ornanments, the printed British bird decorations are classic and I can see them always being stylish. I particularly adore the British birds, I will probably reuse these after Christmas around the home or in the garden as they are far too nice to go back in the decoration box!
The faux snowballs will come in a lot of use as we sometimes make Christmas displays on the windowsill, and I can see this being perfect for the job. Finally, I really love the white hanging stars. These can be used to decorate the home all year round really, but I love the touch of sparkle they have for Christmas time.

The products were sent out really well packaged and everything came wrapped seperately inside the box. Delivery was really quick and it is also free standard delivery, which is great!
If you are looking for some new Xmas Decs this year to spruce up your home, give The Christmas Boutique a go, I couldn't recommend them enough.

Stunning Homeware from Melody Maison






Are you a fan of stunning home furnishings and accessories? Melody Maison* is the place to go if you love all home things shabby chic and French inspired.
Melody Maison is an established family run business which was established in 2004, and they have grown as a brand ever since. Well - known for their beautiful home furnishings and decorative accessories, Melody Maison are a fantastic go-to online store to pick up all the beautiful home ware you could ever dream of. Being a huge lover of white decor and simple yet beautiful accessories, I am really excited to share with you a collection of Melody Maison products.




Firstly, I absolutely love this Two Tier Cake Stand Jewellery Display. It is made out of metal and is sturdy and strong, and really easy to fit together as it arrives in just three parts. A beautiful decorative piece, and also makes great storage. It is perfect for storing my favourite jewelley pieces and would also look great used as a traditional cake stand to showcase your latest cupcake creations! It can be used to showcase many other smaller items, such as nail polish or cosmetics. This looks beautiful on my dressing table, I can't help but keep glancing at it.



The Floral Wooden 'Love' Blocks are so shabby chic and adorable. I have dotted them about on my bedside table and I think they look really lovely. I love that the 'L' and 'V' blocks are slightly taller than the others.The floral and spotted patterns on the lettering of the blocks is so pretty. The blocks are great as you can display them as you wish - flat or upright, straight, stacked - its up to you. I think these blocks would look beautiful in pretty much any room of the house. 



The White 'Home Sweet Home' Jug is probably my favourite product that Melody Maison are currently selling. It is made from metal and has an image of two doves, a heart and the words 'Home Sweet Home' upon it. It has that rustic look to it and is a perfect piece to add to any window sill or shelf. I think it would be perfect to use as a vase to display a few flowers like daffodils. I really love this jug and think it would make a perfect home warming gift.



The Wooden Hanging Love Plaque  is a beautiful piece to add a touch of shabby chic to any room. I have had it hanging on the side of a mirror in my house (as seen in the image above) and also on my bed frame. I love the vintage look string which looks great hanging straight, as well as slightly slanted which I think looks really sweet. I love the quote 'Love Is In The Air' and think it is a great addition to the home.



The White Wooden Post Rack is perfect for anyone that wants to add a little more organisation to their home. I don't know about you, but in our home all of our post is kept in a messy pile on the kitchen unit which gets moved/lost throughout the day! This handy little post rack is perfect for us. It is a small rack perfect for popping in any post that needs sorting, ensuring it looks neat and tidy, while still keeping your home looking shabby chic and smart.


I absolutely adore Melody Maison's website. There is so much choose from and such a variety of products. I would recommend shopping at Melody Maison as their customer service is fantastic and well - worth a mention.

What is your favourite piece from this post?
