Home remodelling..on a tight budget💶

Maybe it was the horrendous winter and all the time spent indoors, coupled with the long awaited arrival of spring and all the energy it brings, but I'm all consumed with 'doing up" the house.   My evenings are spent online drooling over wallpapers from John Lewis and Laura Ashley. Paint ideas from Farrow and Ball, furnishings from Meadows and Byrne, Avoca. It's endless(I love it)

Who knew you could fall head over heels for a colour!!!! Oh Duck Egg Blue, how I adore you, cerise you enthral me, Sage Green so soothing and calming.



This is all well and good but as I may have mentioned in previous blogs....a million times...I'm on a career break so there is the financial glitch there in realising my home makeover dreams. This of course has spawned Pinterest folders galore such as the folder "Dream House", Fab Furnishings, Outside Spaces and so on.
The good thing about Pinterest is the cheap and cheerful ideas to transform your home.
I have been putting it into practice. I started with our bedroom. I got new Teal Curtains in Penneys€20.  I got new bedside Lamps, €12 each in Dunnes. The rest was down to scarves...of which I have MANY....  Instead of having headboard of bed reupholstered, I covered in a beautiful bird print scarf which I tacked on. I also made new tie backs for Curtains...yes you've guessed it, from a scarf..
I gave the room a good clean and declutter and I must say. It's feeling fresh and new all for €44😊😊

This is one of the many pics from my Pinterest folder, beloved Colours
