Time for Tea

Tea cups are one of my favourite pieces for room decor. They can add such a cute feminine touch in any space and are great for for hold small accessories, like rings shown in the picture above. 

One of my favourite things is to go thrift shopping looking for small prices to display in my room, and I can always find cute teacups and saucers for cheap!

I think whether you're going to use them for drinking, organization, holding a small tea light to give off a warm glow, or even just to put on display tea cups are the perfect multi purpose accessory.

P.S. I've always wanted to have a tea party.

Comfort | Redecorating on a Budget

This is my room (I moved my bed the other day) and I love it. As I mentioned in a previous post I've put a lot of work into it. What started off as a complete blank slate (bare and white 5 years ago) has now become the place I retreat to after a long day at work, play with Oliver, and genuinely love.

I also love to redecorate it, but right now I don't exactly have the money to go all out and get a whole new room. Here are a couple of the things I've done to change my room up for 2014.

I know it may not be to everyones taste, and some might think it resembles the old room in their grandmothers house, but I love it.

Every piece in this room was hunted down, or found in the back of a closet. Even given to me, for example my bed belonged to a family friend, its an old antique cast iron bed that needed the paint touched up so I decided to paint it gold. What you can't see in this image is that I have a lot of gold accents in my room, the bed bing the biggest.

I also recently decided to paint most of my furniture white. My furniture was all a natural pine finish, and with the direction my room was heading I knew I wanted white furniture. After looking online for pieces and seeming what people were selling locally, decided to keep what I had and headed downstairs and found an old can of white paint and ended up painting five different pieces with that one (barely ½) can of paint. As an extra touch I bought two new (different) knobs from a local shop and fixed them onto a cabinet door and a small drawer. 

There's still so much I want to do, and maybe I can move out soon and start over, but for now I will think I will keep adding little touches to make my space mine.
