I wanted to give you all a little insight into some aspects of my room. I get asked a lot to do a room tour but I don’t feel 100% comfortable with bearing my whole bedroom to you all, although I certainly don’t mind doing little posts like these where you can see different bits and bobs which may help to inspire some of you. So, this is my dressing table, or make up station, or as it’s better known, “my desk that doesn’t get used for officey-type things so I’ve filled it full of makeup & beauty items”. My grandad made it for me many moons ago, I painted it cream & changed the handles to make it a little more girly.

Ceramic Rose Handles – Homebase
Cream drawers to the left – Ikea (Painted cream & used the remnants of my wallpaper to cover the sides)
Wallpaper – Leekes Linda Barker
Silver drawers to the right – TKMaxx (Brilliant for bedroom storage)
Large Mirror against wall – Bootsale & handpainted
Small Antique Mirror – Bootsale
Light up Mirror – Boots
Flower Lights – BHS
China Saucers – Bootsale
Mosaic Flower Pot – Bootsale
Small China Vase with handle – Bootsale
Small cream & gold Jewellery Box – My Nan gave me this

  1. Love the look of your dressing table. It's so neat and tidy! Unlike mine, guuuuh. Love how you've got all your rings on a plate! I've got so many that they're just lying all the sho' at the moment! xo

  2. so beautiful. i love this post. such a good idea. wow your rings look amazing.

  3. can you please do a video on your dressing table? please!

  4. Such a pretty desk. what a clever grandfather you have :)x

  5. RCagz

    Oh my I'd love a bowl of rings like yours one day, my collection is rather small at the moment lol
    Beautiful photos, your dresser is so adorable xoxo

  6. Charli

    Went to ikea today to look for exactly the same drawers…could not find any anywhere!! I'm going to do the same thing with the end of wallpaper to cover shoeboxes and use them as visible storage! x

  7. Miles

    If your brushes are always exposed it's important to clean them once a week :) I have mine in clear plastic drawers and I line them with tissue so that they aren't exposed to dust n all that and they stay clean all the time.

  8. Carina

    i lovee your flower handles on your dresser – so so cute! you have so many pretty rings too! :)

    where are your brushes from? :)

  53. Hello,
    i love your youtube videos :)
    can you please make a video on your EVERYDAY HAIR DO?
    I did watch your video on your hair routine but i love the hairstyle you do everyday, the way you pin some hair behind with a lot of volume.
    thanks

  54. Monica

    So pretty and organized! I love the brush vase holders, especially the cool pink twisted one. I think the hanging flower lights just complete the whole image, and it makes it different than other girls set ups. Chic!

    My favorite(s) is Your Rings! I am addicted to rings! and your makeup Which I Am In Love With!

    So cute and girlie :) I love it.
    This has given me a little lift to tidy my room. haha x

  122. Hi, I doubt you're even going to see this but that's ok. I just wanted to say that I love how you put your own twist to basic things, like the little drawer from IKEA, and the wallpaper on the sides was a really nice touch! Also, I went with my mom to a garage sale, which is something like a carboot sale. You were right, when you said (in an older post) that it is a way to bond with your mom. I had so much fun with her and I also got to pick up some cute things as well. so, thank you for encouraging your followers to do that.
    Have a nice day!
