Your bedroom. Your haven

Recently i've come to realise that a bedroom isn't just a place to sleep and dump all your stuff! While you're growing up, a bedroom is like your own little house. You can do what you want with it, and it's much more fun to be in when the walls around you aren't bare, but full of things you like. Whether it's posters to little bits and bobs from trinket shops, it all adds up, and makes your room a friendlier place.

Whilst searching for things i could put in my bedroom to make it more "me" i've realised that i don't need to, because all that stuff in my room that i thought to be clutter has now become more beautiful and representative of what i want my bedroom to be. So here are some photo's and captions showing off my life long creation:

 As you enter my room this is what you see hanging in the door frame: a plastic washing line. It's my favourite thing of all because i think it's just so adorable. A few years ago i did some volunteer work in a charity shop; eventually i had to stop because i just kept buying instead of selling, and this was one of my many purchases.

When i was young, my room used to be head to toe in soft toys, but now i'm older, they are all in a cupboard and only the special little ones get to go on my shelf. So this is one of those national trust birds that my parents bought me, where they make a noise when you squeaze them. I dressed this one up in a tiny plastic tiara, and a bracelet around its neck - don't ask why :)!

i have bits of jewellery hanging all over the place

I fell in love with this cute collection of japanese fragrances "Harajuka lovers fragrance" by Christina Aguilera.

When i went to Australlia, we visited an old toy store, and everything was so expensive, all i could afford were these 4 miniture golly dolls. they are only the height of a fingernail!

This is my huge purple pillow. It's even bigger than in the photo! I have lots of beanbags and soft fluffy pillows in my bedroom so that i can just fling myself in and land comfortably XD

Here's a collection of stuff that i bought in Australlia that, when i bought, i thought that they'd end up in a box under my bed!

At this time of year, lush costmetics do brilliant gift boxes, including cute little tins crammed with bath bombs. A friend bought me this gingerbread house tin from lush which is also a moneybox. And that guy standing next to it is a knitted cave man called Ug :D

Finally my vast collection of shells. Again, i got this stuff from a holiday, actually from a house covered in shells which i might do a blog about another time. I haven't got round to sticking them on my bed frame and stuff yet but for now the cute trinket box is fine x

thankyou for reading about my room. i hope this has inspired you to decorate yours! :)
