Are all my posts house related?

I have just signed the contract for my first ever house!

I'm going to have my own front door and possibly my own cat. meow. 

I'm living with 2 girls and 2 boys, and we are moving in for second year of university. As of July, I have to pay bills, do my own cooking and learn to use the house alarm.

This is all so scary & I've got excitable butterflies.  

wow, this feels WAY too grown up. 

ours is the green one, we have our own front door!

I love the fireplace, we are putting fair lights everywhere!

Decorating Day

Home is where one starts from - T.S. Eliot

It's moving day! I class my house with my cat and cosy bed in Manchester as my 'home.' Since I've left my home I started to wonder how far am I away from the start? So I've passed Go collected my £200 but surely I can't have past at least the first train station on my Monopoly board of life.

But I am STARTING university, which makes this my new HOME therefore, I wanted to make it as homey as possible. 

I LOVE Cath Kidston but my bank balance and her price tags don't get along so well. Here is how I transformed my 2" x 3" cell block into a floral haven (on a budget!!) 

This bedding looks exactly like the Cath Kidston and is only £11 for the set compared to the steep price of £65 for the real deal. 

I used tea towels from Dunelms to decorate my notice board and found these perfect hearts on eBay. As a leaving present my little sister made me the dolls house which is jewelry box! It would be 'if i could only take one thing on a desert island' item. Each room stores a different type of jewelry, my rings, bracelets and has hooks for my necklaces, it's so thoughtful. 

 I do have Cath Kidston mugs (below) but I think this Tesco's cup is adorable and more unique.
