Homeware Haul - I regret nothing

Who needs money anyways? Haha.

Just kidding. I had enough to stock up on some homeware items for the apartment.

Here I'll show you some of the things I got and hopefully serve as some inspiration to any of you who are also trying to re-decorate!

So without further ado, here are some of my purchases:

This beautiful rug is from 'Eastern Flair' in Newtown

'Spring' scented candle by Homestead Candles - Bought at - 'Reclaim Vintage', Newtown

Isn't it a lovely shade of red? - Tulips from 'Dr Earth', Newtown

Fascinating read, and visually impressive illustrations - From 'Reclaim Vintage', Newtown

Funky little poster right? This is actually sold as wrapping paper at 'Monster Threads', but I couldn't let myself use it to wrap. Besides, who doesn't want birds on their bathroom door?



Have you bought any nice homeware items recently? Any suggestions to help me decorate? Flick me a comment

Back From The Dead - Home Decor

As per a prompt from a family member I have emerged like a glorious butterfly!

Life drags you down with it, and though you dedicate yourself to writing a Blog you ultimately forget to and end up coming back almost a year later and thinking, 

"Hey, I haven't written anything in ages!". 

SO. On that note I have set a phone reminder to prompt myself to write at least once a week.

I have continued to be active on Instagram, feel free to follow to see a more visual diary of what happens in this students's mutterings.

Today I sit at my laptop working on Journalism stories and pondering the end of the short holidays before I return to Uni next week. I suppose I even miss it!

As of recent I have been focusing on re-decorating the apartment (still in Newtown) and keeping tidy for the coming colder months.

In particular I have been fascinated with flowers recently. I am finally at a stage where I earn enough working at the bakery where I can afford a fresh bunch of flowers every week or so. It's amazing what it can do for your mood. 

I.e. If I were to buy a slice of cake each week to make me feel better, flowers do that job, and better (and healthier, haha)

Have a look at these photos from around my home for some inspiration! I have also put out a lot of candles and lighting features for pleasant smells, moods and settings. 

These little robots are great collectibles from 'Doctor Django's'

Check out Crosley's website for brilliant turntables

Can't tell these are fake right? I saved old wine/beer bottles for cute and cheap decor

This was a gift from last Easter, but really adds some cute to the room!

I love using a cake tier to hold my jewelry, you see everything you own straight away.
(Note the classic Russian childhood novels)

I recently bought these tulips for the bathroom and they are stunning!

The tv seemed a little plain, so I've prettied it up with some lovely flowers,
the stack of coffee table books adds a warm, home-like touch, as well as the little candle bowl.

In addition, I have been focusing on keeping my clothes in plain sight with the open-rack (to save money on clothes I already have!)

This is from Domayne home wares, 'Reddy Robe'

I'll write another post very soon!
Until then,

A good break is well deserved (back to Uni denial)

And once more the joyous pressures of studying have returned...!

I managed to have a severely intense amount of baths recently. Apologies for not posting them but I realised that it's probably much more interesting to go and have a bath yourself instead of reading reviews on it.

Take this advice. Go have a bath.

You'll feel good.

I'm rather thrilled that the weather appears to be warming up slowly in Sydney despite the fact it's still middle-of-winter-time.

It's been a long long time since I posted about how our home decoration has been progressing, so I shall be doing a wonderfully updated post in this coming week.

Newtown has been treating us well.

Currently my mutterings will revolve around trying to figure out what to do in between uni, (Getting a job. How mundane) as well as engaging in my own time wasting blissfullness in as many ways possible.

Perhaps do some practice Journalism?

Perhaps revive my deceased Tamagotchi?

Homeware Haul #2

Hey hey,

I said I'd show you what I bought right?

Newtown happens to be filled with many charming vintage and antique shops, which is exactly where I went to buy these items. Check out the photos!

There's a fantastic lantern in a beautiful mint green colour which I've been pairing with bath time, it creates a mesmerizing glow in the room. I use tealights for it.

The three little houses are all vintage tea tins, so I'm using them to hold sugar and tea at the moment. I couldn't help but buy all three as a set. They look adorable all together don't they?

The glass decanter is actually quite small, and therefore a bit less common than most crystal decanters you'd see. I've tested it out with some strong stout, and will likely use it with whisky or scotch. The decanter itself just seemed like a lovely piece to own.

Lastly, there's the fantastic tiered cake stand. Did you look closely? It's made of old records!!! Hahaha.

I thought this was an extremely clever way to reuse the records. It looks fantastic hosting the little cupcakes I made.

Keep an eye out for more homeware hauls coming soon. I'll be buying some products hopefully from Typo's new store.

Are there any home items you guys can recommend for me to buy? Let me know in the comments below!
