Room Tour

 As some of you may have read I have recently started a new job which meant leaving university forever, leaving my parents house and moving in to a new flat.  It's not my own, it's only temporary, but I wanted to make it as homely and as nice as possible as I am going to be spending a lot of time here.  My room at uni was amazing, much nicer than the average student room.  So I wasn't too happy about moving in to this smaller, slightly scruffier room.  But at least I have an ensuite and now everything is unpacked I quite like it.

Bed. I love my sleep, and being comfy in bed with my memory foam mattress topper.

Entrance to my room. Door on the left is the bathroom, wardrobes on the right.

View inside my wardrobe.  I have way too many clothes, this is only half!

Yes I do organise my clothes by colour.  The black section is the biggest.

View out the window.

Comfy chair with the shoes I wear most regularly, the rest are in a box in the wardrobe.

Desk. Speakers, laptop, TV and calender to organise myself.

Some of my earrings.

Perfumes, beauty bits and bobs, books.

Make-up and hair corner.

Jewellery boxes.

Love having an ensuite!

My room is messy, but that's me!  Do you have any good storage ideas?

August Already?

July was such a busy month for me and it whirled by.  From job hunting, to job offers, to accepting a job, moving house and turning 23, so much happened and I hardly had time to post! So I did a little round up of pictures to sum up the last month.

1. Finally bought a new phone.  2. Spent a bit too much money. 3. Packed to leave uni and move.  So much stuff!
4. Lots of sunbathing! 5. Many countryside walks. 6. My new room.
7. New job! My uniform. 8. Goodbye uni room. 9. I will miss those wardrobes!

Two weeks ago I moved into my new flat and started my new job which is going awesome so far.   Yesterday I moved my final items out of my house at university and handed my keys back.  I felt really sad, and then I didn't feel like a student anymore.  I now have internet in my flat so more pictures of that and regular posting to continue!

My University House - Part 2: My Room

So here is the second lot of pictures from my lovely house at university.  Today I am going to show you all pictures of my room.  I took 57 in total.  Don't worry, I am not going to put them all up here.  But there are quite a lot of pictures in this post! I really do love the size of my room and how I have set it up.  It's lovely!!  These pictures aren't in the best light.  By the time I've gotten home from placement and have done things that need doing it's starting to get dark.  But you can see my room well enough.

The size of my room is great and look at those massive wardrobes!  I can hang up all my clothes and have lots of storage room which means my room is now never messy!

My Welsh flag, timetables on the wardrobe, Shaun the Sheep and my mirror. I didn't know where to place the mirror but this ended up being the only space for it, however each morning when I get ready I move the mirror to the windowsill as there isn't enough light where it is in the picture.

My desk and own computer chair from home where I do my uni work, blog from and sort out other bits.

As I can't stick anything on the walls without them being marked, even whitetack, I have a noticeboard to put my bits and pieces.  I also hang long necklaces from the pins.  In this picture you can also see my jewellery boxes and speakers.

I like to keep my products stored away in a drawer, but these are the ones I use every day or often, so it's handy to keep these out.

Under the desk where I keep all my books for university, my printer and a nice pretty storage box for important documents.

My nice comfy bed.  This is my own bed, I bought it brand new last year and it satisfies me that on one else has slept in it.  University beds freak me out.  I have a memory foam pillow and memory foam mattress topper so it's super comfy.  I like my pillows to decorate the bed.

I like to lie in bed on evenings after work and watch TV.  I love this chest of drawers, the colour is perfect for the room and the drawers are nice and spacious.

A few bits to decorate my room to make it feel more homely and more me.

I bought this bottle of cider for my house mates last year when I went on holiday to Cornwall.  I liked the bottle and didn't want to throw it away so rinsed it out and am now using it as a necklace holder.  It works quite well and I think it looks cool.

My alcohol collection, perfumes and make-up bag which is handy to keep there for everyday use.

This is the top drawer where I keep all my make-up, moisturisers, nail varnishes, hair products, some jewellery and other beauty bits and bobs.  This drawer might look a bit messy but this is actually very organised for me!

I stuck some fairy lights up and often prefer to use these instead of a light if I am relaxing.  I think they look nicer than a normal light if you aren't doing something that requires a bright light.

So there we go!  That's my university room that I am in love with and keep going on about.  Let's hope I keep it this way and don't let it get too messy or un-organised!
