Botanical Bliss | Home Improvement

We have finally made some real progress in our bedroom! If you want to catch up on previous posts, you can read them under Home & Living. 

The room was officially clear of crap and it was time to get serious. We headed over to Homebase and spent forever picking out a colour for the walls.

Bedroom Wishlist

For some reason we decided to go for a bright blue in the bedroom when we first moved in. We immediately knew it was a mistake but we carried on regardless and the plan always was to redecorate anyway. Josh's brother made his bedroom black and dark green and I absolutely love it.

Revamping My 5 Year Olds Room

I did it! I revamped Charlie's bedroom while he was away and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. I ended up spending £260 to do it, which I'm a little bit gutted about as I could have done without the big spends! But, it needed doing.

November Goals

It's Novemberrr, can you believe it? I swear it was only January five minutes ago. I have a very busy month ahead of me and I am holding onto a fair bit of anxiety right now. I think I need to try and be good to myself this month somehow.

How to Keep on Top of Mess

I am not the tidiest of people. I get overwhelmed easily, I  get dizzy from cleaning (although not so often lately I've noticed) and I let mess pile up and pile up until myself and Josh are feeling incredibly depressed from it all.
