    STYLE YOUR HOUSE ON A BUDGET* | QUEENBEADY

    Processed with VSCO with hb2 preset

    I often look at my house, and as much as I love it, I get pretty frustrated with it. We live in a reasonable 2 up/2 down with a sizeable garden which we are forever grateful for. But for the most part, I feel like we haven’t really made it a “home” in all the of the 7 years of being there. Often, I prefer to spend money on meals out and going on holidays. Which is when I came to the realisation that I spend money on doing things that don’t involve staying in our house and that really needs to change.

    Hands up if you love nothing more than a bacon sandwich for breakfast? I know I’m guilty of it. I’m always looking for healthier ways to start the day (ahem, belgian hot chocolates do not count just because they are “liquid”) So when Good Grain wanted to challenge me to a 5 ways, 5 days challenge of creating different breakfasts with their puffed rice & wheat cereals I was more than up for the #Grainspiration challenge. Using some of their own ideas and incorporating some of mine, my week long challenge was about to begin…

    I think everyone needs a little bit of “Hygge” in their life. It’s a way of life that has been fully embraced by the UK over the last few months, this Danish concept roughly translates to “cosiness” within ones home and life. It’s a term that is definitely one I want to embrace, especially through the winter months when the weather becomes significantly cooler. Being snug is a top priority. One way that can drastically change a home in to ultimate comfort is by lighting several scented candles (heart eyed emojis all round) and making the house smell nice in the process too. This oriental spice & cherry blossom candle from The English Soap Company is no exception to the rule.

    I mentioned in a previous post about feeling content that it’s important to declutter your life. So, on a sunny Sunday this weekend I decided now was the time to take my own advice. I’ve been run down lately, works hectic and I’ve been slowly letting my body give up on me in the run up to our holiday that things like my blog and keeping the house in order has fallen by the wayside. It doesn’t help that both Mr C & I are terribly untidy, our house can quickly become to look like a car boot / jumble sale without us even realising.

    I want to completely overhaul my bedroom at the moment. Scratch that, I want to overhaul my whole house. With the likes of pinterest I am constantly lusting after aesthetically pleasing, minimalistic, black and white living. I decided that I need to start creating a little bit inspiration for myself and where better to do that, than on my blog. Am I right? I adore the muted tones of grey and whilst a rather dull colour it can lift the starkness of a white room. I think I would maybe I’d add a pop of colour to break it up too!
