My dream chest of drawers

I've been on the lookout for a chest of drawers for my new attic bedroom and now I've come across this and fallen in love. A gorgeous Victorian pine chest of drawers with original painted and stenciled decoration. If I weren't a penniless student I'd buy this tomorrow.



As lovely as this chest of drawers is on it's own, I would love to adorn it with a selection of knobs from Anthropologie. Here are a few of my favourites.



 I love this one so much, here are all 3 colours!

Customising an IKEA coffee table

Having hunted for a coffee table that had the ability to be turned into a giant photo frame, I finally found this one from IKEA, I bought the oak veneer version. It has a really handy drawer that can stash away all the remotes, and storage alcoves on each side which is great for storing magazines.


I personalized the table by creating a black and white photo collage of my friends and family. I chose black and white over colour photographs for a more sophisticated look. I'm really pleased with the result, it's great for making sure you keep your coffee table clutter free and adds a personal touch to my living room.
