#country cottage...kids bedroom inspiration

I love the idea of my girls sharing a room when we are away.  I want to make them a cute shared room, clean and bright with a hint of vintage.  

This is my inspiration so far.  Simple beds with a light directly above each, found this fab Ranarp lamp at Ikea which will be just perfect.  I plan to bring colour in with cushions, I am thinking pom pom trim and vintage fabrics, and also with the dresser between the beds.  So I am scouring ebay and the auction rooms for a good dresser to revive, and pretty fabrics to make pillows with.  Let me know if you spot any good deals!

some very exciting news!!

I am so excited to share some news with you!!!  We have bought a little bit of land in the country!!!  It comes complete with a little cottage that we are going to do up and then use as a weekender (watch this space you might be able to rent it too!) which means heaps and heaps of diy and before and afters to share with you.  See below for a sneak peak of the cottage and the land!

I am going through all our furniture and bed linen to see what we furnish the space with.  A little tricky since I haven't seen it in real life yet, only in photo's.  I am going to be scouring eBay and the sales to make it brilliant on budget. 

Watch this space!!!
