Freshers Week: My New Room

Hi everyone! So, I can now tell you all that I've been at uni for a week now. It's gone so quickly... Feels like I've been here for months.

So, all my flatmates finally moved in on Saturday (I arrived on Wednesday) it's been pretty hectic since then. I went out to the arrival party, but I'm not the biggest party animal. I would much rather sit in watching a good film with a hot chocolate (I'm such a grandma). My flatmates are a bit louder and shout a lot! Hopefully they'll settle down after Freshers.

I've had fun decorating my new room and I can't wait to collect more cute things over the year or so. Here are some pictures of my room:

I can't do much about the orange curtains, but I guess they add a bit of colour to my bright room!

One thing I'm looking forwards to is starting my course properly. Can't wait to start doing some more designing. I feel like I've had such a big break from education and I need to get back into it.

Tonight I'm going to the pub quiz! I love quizzes and I'm quite competitive, so it should be fun.

I'll keep you updated. Let me know if you have any advice for uni.

Refreshing My Room with Laura Ashley

Hi everyone! How have you been?

The Quarter-Life Tales of Annie Beans is hosting an amazing giveaway! You could win £1000 to refresh your room, thanks to Laura Ashley. My room definitely needs a refresh! I've got a lot of furniture which has been passed down to me, but I am trying to make it my own (it's a bit embarrassing really)...

As you can see, it's a bit of a muddle at the moment. I've got my special money saving jar which I received from my boyfriend. That's my favourite piece in my room. If I was lucky enough to get the chance to refresh my room, I'd love these items:

Clockwise: Alberton Upholstered Chair, Alice Bed & Open Coil Mattress, Ceramic Roses Ringholder, Bramley Dressing Table Set and the Bramley 2 Door Wardrobe.

I love anything which is shabby chic or quaint (like a lot of Laura Ashley's furniture) and think it always looks beautiful and romantic. My dream bed room would be cream, floral and stylish because I think it's so relaxing which is important for the place you sleep.

Alberton Upholstered Chair I always think that a good arm chair in the bedroom can look so trendy! I'd place it near my window so I can sit near the sunlight and read one of my favourite books.

Alice Bed & Open Coil Mattress I am desperate for a bed with headboard and footboard! I love the metal bed frame and it'd go perfectly with my pretty and elegant wallpaper. This would definitely help me with having a good night's sleep.

Ceramic Roses Ringholder This is very cute. I love the roses at the base of it (I'm a sucker for anything floral). I have a lot of rings and need somewhere to put them.

Bramley Dressing Table Set  I've always longed for a dressing table set, from when I was a little girl. It's a vital piece of furniture I'm missing from my room.

Bramley 2 Door Wardrobe I'd have to get this and the Bramley Dressing Table Set because they match. As I said before, I love shabby chic and this would be great to hang all my demure dresses.

Do you like the items I selected? There's loads of wonderful items at Laura Ashley so go and take a look. If you'd like to have a go at this giveaway, take a look at Annie Bean's blog.
