What essential does every house need? A bar cart of course!

As you may know, I have recently moved into a new house and have been busy planning all of my rooms; when the lovely people over at Chairish asked if I had thought about including a bar cart! Well, my cocktail equipment has to live somewhere, and currently the top of my kitchen cupboard isn't quite working out for me so I think it is a great option! My favourite bar cart that I have seen is the Mid-Century Brass Bar Cart because I like it's sleek look, and it would fit nicely into my living room! Now the best bit... although I have quite a lot of cocktail equipment already, I definitely need to get some new stuff...

For my cocktail equipment, I like a variety of bits, ranging from classic decanters, to modern ice crushers, I get all my bits out when friends or family come over, so it's nice to be able to make a drink for anyone, no matter what their taste! Personally, my favourite drinks are some of the simplest; having just been on holiday I have drank a lot of Tinto De Verano, which is a Spanish drink, very similar to Sangria, but much simpler... 1/2 a glass red wine 1/2 a glass lemon fanta Serve over ice, with a lemon slice To feel truly like you are in Spain, have a side of olives, or tomato bread with it!

Summer Bedroom

As you may have gathered from some previous posts, I absolutely adore interior decorating, and love planning how my rooms are going to look and change from season to season.
For my new house, one of the rooms I have been debating about most is my bedroom, I have been considering colour scheme, furniture, bed styles, everything!
It has taken me a while to decide on the colour scheme, however as it isn't a very large room I new it would need to be light and bright; so I decided on white, light pink, grey and copper.

One thing I definitely want in my room is white bedding, I just think it looks so crisp and clean, I love it. One of the sets I like is the Percale Venice set from Parachute.

Top 5 Accessories

1) Lighting

I'm a big fan of juxtaposing classic design with industrial features, and one of my favourite ways of doing that is through lighting. This one is from not on the high street.

2) Candles

I always love a variety of candles around my home, however my favourite bedtime scent has to be lavender, I use lavender fabric conditioner, lavender laundry spray, you name it I use it! One cute candle I have seen is from Parachute Home.

3) Shelving

One of the great ways to give a room a bit of a wow factor is to carefully design your shelving with statement pieces.

4) Furniture

Continuing with the light and bright theme, I want white stained furniture in our bedroom, and the Hemnes set from Ikea is perfect.

5) Mirrors

I think that mirrors are the easiest way to maximise the amount of light in a room, as well as making a room seem larger. One of my favourite ways to use mirrors is to create a feature wall of several odd shape ones.
