All I want is a room somewhere

When Money Supermarket offered me the chance to spruce up a room of my choice with their home improvement challenge I leapt at the chance, I've been trying to fix up my bedroom for months now and that extra £50 really did come in handy, so thank you Money Supermarket!  Having moved back home after graduating from Uni I found my bedroom cluttered with junk with not enough storage to house it all, so I finally took the plunge and bought the Ikea Alex. Okay, okay that would already be out of my £50 budget but nan contributed to most of it as a graduation gift so now my hoard of beauty bumf is snuggled up nicely in one place...

I picked up these two cushions from Primark for a cheap and cheerful £6. Jon did raise an eye at these somewhat girly additions to our bed but I couldn't resist.

I was also recently contacted by Out There Interiors, I picked this quirky old jewellery cabinet* which I attached to the wall. I like having the glass door so I can still see my jewellery and found this really handy for decluttering my desk of old bracelets and necklaces. What do you think?

Out There Interiors has some great pieces so I recommend having a gander!

For those of you who know me, you'll know that my love for IKEA knows no bounds. I find myself picking up something for my room every time we visit. I love this cute ornate bowl where I house my bobby pins - we all know how bobby pins and hair bands love to wander off... 

I also snapped up this storage jar from Gifts & Pieces to house my hoard of tealights on my window sill.

Although the mighty Ikea Alex can fit the majority of my beauty products, I needed to pick up this wicker basket from Tesco (£8) for my excess haircare products. Again this really keeps on top of the mess that was my chest of drawers.

I love to document my life, have done since I was seven years old when I first started my diaries so I was a little dismayed that I didn't have many photo frames to showcase some of my favourite memories around my bedroom. In keeping with my monochrome theme I picked up this Sondrüm frame for £4 and placed an old favourite of me and the boy from passing our A-levels. Perfect.

I've hoped you've enjoyed snooping around my bedroom, I'm really happy with it now and it really is that my own little haven to come back to everyday. I'm probably going to pop up some more interior posts, so if there's anything you'd like to see let me know!

P.s. If you love reading Oh Little Red as much as I enjoy putting it all together then please vote me 'Best New Beauty Blog' in the Cosmo Awards (vote here) - the voting ends on the 30th and it would put the cheesiest grin on my face if you voted :) Thanks to everyone who has done so already!
