I just signed the contract on a house at University in Southampton... The room I got in the shared house of four girls is a small double room, complete with a bed, desk and fitted wardrobes the width of the room. Perfect for a girl like me who has a LOT of stuff. I would say clothes or shoes but its just general stuff...
I haven't been that excited about moving into the room just yet because it's so bare and I hadn't really thought about how I was going to decorate and personalise it. The walls are magnolia, the carpet cream and the wardrobes are white (with cute little retro floral handles).
Where to start really... So I thought about what I already have... A really cute shabby chic patchwork floral quilt (sounds posh but it's actually from tescos!) Going with this theme of white and pastels I've chosen these larger items. (More nic-nacs to come!)
Bedding set (king-size)- £70 Cath Kidston @ John Lewis
Bedside table- £19.99 @Ikea
Coat Stand- £44.99 @Argos
Lamp- £2.49 @Ikea
Heart Memo Frame- £7.59 @Argos
'Fairest in the land' Mirrors (3pack)- £25.00 @Urban Outfitters
And not forgetting the MACBOOK, that takes pride of place on the desk.
What are we thinking so far? I've already got the lamp and heart memo frame, so only got another £90 to save up to get the rest, let's hope I can do it before the years over and my tenancy is up lol.
Hope you're having a very happy weekend lovelies.

Ooooo....i absolutely love moving houses! It's like my own brand of heroin!!! Sad right? I pretty much move places at the end of every semester and sometimes inbetween the long holidays. So that's about 3 times a year for me. There's this buzz i get from shopping around for a new place, moving in and unpacking all my stuff. I've only been in my apartment less than 2 months but i'm already feeling the urge to start shopping around for a new place to move to at the end of November :P
