Lil Miss Homely: Homeware haul! #

Hi guys! Hope you are all having a lovely weekend! 

Last week, I decided to go to Ikea with my parents to buy some home decor items! Apart from makeup and health, my other passion is interior design! I just love browsing through interior design blogs and thinking about how I would decorate my own house! I love anything that is vintage inspired!

I purchased this gorgeous plant pot from Ikea. It cost £2. I was initially going to use it to store my makeup brushes, but it was far too big for them! Instead, I store tea lights inside this plant pot! I also added some fake flowers for decorative purposes :)


As I was browsing in Ikea, I found the most perfect makeup brush holder! It's vintage inspired, and big enough to house most of my brushes. I added beads to the holder in order to hold the brushes upright. You can buy beads from any craft store. This makeup brush holder was very cheap too - it cost £2.25!


I also went to Next, and picked up this beautiful table lamp from their 'Vintage Inspired' collection. It matches the decor in my room perfectly! It cost £18 - which again is a very good deal!


I adore the detailing on the lamp!


 The next item I purchased is not exactly 'home decor', but this hand cream complements my room really well! It's also very sanitary (due to the pump) and smells of coconut (one of my favourite scents!). I purchased this from M&S for a mere £2.


 I have blogged about Jelly Belly candles before, but I decided to purchase some more! They are highly fragrant and relatively cheap (£5 a tin). The packaging is slightly tacky, and definitely does not complement my room - but they smell fabulous! I purchased these from this eBay shop.


I also purchased some storage boxes from Ikea. I decided to buy 6 boxes and place them on top of my book shelf! I store items which I don't use a lot! My drawers are quite empty now which is great!


The last thing I purchased from Ikea was this bed throw. It's a gorgeous cream texture which makes my room look more cosy and comfortable! It cost £20. I also decided to take a photo of my iPhone - as I am in love with the case! My lovely brother bought it for me for Christmas!


Here's the favourite part of my room! My lovely candle holder from Oasis (Isle of Wight) just stands out so much!

Where do you buy from home decor from?
