Pretty Polish.. Cath Kidston inspired nails

My Cath Kidson/Bedroom/Shabby Chic inspired nails..

So it's 1am on a Tuesday morning and what am I doing? Of course, painting my nails..

I really am quite in love with them. From a distance, they look pretty detailed but to be honest they are just little splodges of colour.

Yes, there a little messy and around the nails need a huge amount of tidying up- but that can definitely wait until the morning as after waiting for all that drying- I need my bed.

Bedroom delights..

Hello my sweets,

As promised, here is a little insight into a few pretty things I have completed my bedroom with. I'm so in love with it and just love being in there now..

Wire Picture holder- Received as a gift ages ago, I sprayed this white too.

Project : decorating my bedroom...

Hello my dolls,

Yesterday my mum and I were a little bored, so we decided to change my room a little bit- and by change my room I mean why not rip the wallpaper down and start over?

I had the previous look (Black and White Damask) for just under two years and I think it's important to change things up a little.

I have wanted my room to be a little lighter for a while now too, I have found myself feeling a little grumpy in my room and put it down to the colour scheme I had, so I've gone for something a lot more clean and fresh looking.

I'm going for Shabby Chic, I love all shabby chic bits and pieces and would love to incorporate them in my bedrooms new look.

I would love if you could share any websites or blogs I could go to get such things and also for a little bit of inspiration..

I hope your all well. I'm covered in paint!
