Today I thought I’d give you a quick peek at a few new items that I recently bought for our hallway to jazz it up. The whole hallway isn’t totally finished yet (I have some more prints and pictures still to put up, so will do a full hallway tour when complete), but having these few new bits and bobs has made a real difference to the look of the space.
Whilst I absolutely LOVE interiors and doing up my home, I seem to be someone who gets big jobs done well (kitchen, bathroom) yet is SO slow getting the finishes touches done that really make a home- and I’m determined that this isn’t going to be the case in this house so I need to get cracking!
My cool new letterboard is from Amazon, the plants are from Ikea and Sainsburys, and my favourite new discovery is the George at Asda homeware- some really cool stuff yet so reasonable priced. The copper globe is a favourite of mine, and is still available at a bargain £15, and the copper letter rack is also from there for only £8. We still have our quirky London prints from ‘Place in Print’ that we had at our old house and that I still love- I’m not sure I could ever get rid of these, we’d have to find a home somewhere for them!
I’m doing a ‘mad March’ giveaway month, and to kick it off I’m giving one lucky reader the chance to win an £100 giftcard to spend at Asda, and if you’re an interiors-nut like me, hopefully you’ll enjoy perusing the George at Asda homeware section with it.
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this great prize in fill in the Rafflecopter below, using as many of the options as you like.
