Articles....

Back in the summer I did some writing for an online magazine Planet Ivy and thought I'd link the articles on here if you (and any possible magazines who wouldn't mind me writing for them...you never know Comany's editor may be reading this now!) wanted to read any of them....

Decorative, inspiring ideas to make a room cozy, comfortable and organized....
 

Twinkle Twinkle.

Christmas brings such a magical feeling, and its so easy to get the holiday blues in the dreary months between December and April (when fingers crossed we'll skip the April shows and head straight into a bight and sparkling spring!) So to make that warm, fuzzy and festive feeling last just a TAD longer I've wrapped fairy lights around a cork board. (Something like a headboard, mirror or picture frame will also work)
A normal cork board could look a bit blah and dull, so I painted it with gloss white to make it a bit more fitting to a bedroom and less like a office :).
The novelty of the lights may wear off at some point....but until then I'll just enjoy dreaming under the stars...


Operation Organise.

Going out and you know the most perfect necklace that will go with your outfit only to find it bunched up in a massive ball with about 20 others. BUT there are so many easy and inspiring things you can do which can not only help to declutter the nightmare of your jewelry box but will also look fantastic. 
I got a small peg board that your would use for coats etc, painted it white and stuck it to my wall. Now all my necklaces stay tangle free AND when they're not accessorizing me they're accessorizing my wall- after all why have such pretty jewelry and then bury it away in a box!
Other things that will also work are bedposts, mirrors, picture frames, door knobs, cork boards.


 Crafty Creations.

I know my bedroom is not hosting a 1950 street fair, but I think I have an addiction to bunting. Its looks so cute and just so quick, cheap and easy to make. Just use old bit of miss-match fabric or why not try magazines :).

Okay so I know I'm not known for my amazing skills in carpenty, and its not a craft I plan on taking up any time soon. But TheWoodenLetterCompany (http://thewoodenletterscompany.com) allows you to to design your own hanging or free standing letters from about a fiver!

Jam Jars are another cute room accessory, you dont have to go out and spend loads of money on the chicest jars out there (infact I have no idea of anywhere chic jam jars are a top seller). Just use any ones you can get your hands on- they can be decorated with buttons/ribbons, or just be kepts simple by filling them with flowers or candles.
