a little home wish list inspo...
Lockdown has got me making lots of changes to my home that have been on my to-do list for a while. I've been doing this on a bit of a budget as I don't want to spend too much, especially with all the uncertainty right now, but I'm loving hunting down a good bargain or two. Taking on home projects is the only thing keeping my mind occupied right now and I think that's really important under the current circumstances so I'm going to continue working on it. So far I've completely changed around my bedroom, painted my bedside table, added panelling and all on a pretty small budget. I've ordered two really cheap bookcases for my lounge that I'm going to attach together for one huge unit so next on my list is to find some new bits to style those with. I'm also going to update my rented kitchen on a budget which I'm really excited to share. There's lots going on in my house! Anyway, I thought that I would share some of the home bits that are on my wish list right now. Usually I would find all my new bits in Homesense but as it's closed for the foreseeable I'm stuck with online browsing. I'm still upset about that so let's swiftly move on...
I can't believe it took me this long to discover the Billy bookcase from ikea but I fell in love with the double one and sadly they aren't offering it with home delivery at the mo due to all that's going on so I found a single similar bookcase from JYSK and ordered two of those. I know, I'm impatient. Anyway, they were dead cheap, and they should be getting delivered soon so I've been on the look out for some shelf styling bits. Books, plants, candles, you know the drill. I also have a lot of white space in my house due to it all being painted white so I'd like a few more bits to fill spaces, decorate the walls with etc.
Some great online stores to buy bits like this from fairly cheap include JYSK itself. I ordered some extra bits with my shelves, they don't have a huge range of items but there are still some hidden gems. They have some gorgeous tea light holders, candlesticks, trays and lots more. Another gem for budget buys is The Range which do home delivery for anyone who, like me, visits their stores regularly! I love their selection of mirrors and candles and lanterns.
If you fancy a visual browse, I've popped a selection of bits below that are on my wish list right now...
Do any of these pieces catch your eye?
