WHERE I BLOG
I've seen two bloggers do this on the web recently and it has inspired me to do it aswell. This post is just a fun one about where "the magic happens" ha! Although it does happen in 2 places, most of the time its just me, in my little box at Uni. So I thought I'd bring you inside and show you too!
Now I have to admit its not the most stylish of places, but its my little home for the year and has the equivalent of my home comforts squeezed into one little room. Where I find the space for all my clothes I really don't know, but usually it keeps itself reletively tidy!
My absolute favourite thing on my pin board would have to be the Nun in the top left corner of the top image! Just so you understand the hilarity of it, it is a Nun with her tounge out touching the corner of her left lip and the website she is visiting as it states underneath is www.naked-priests.com never fails to make me laugh! One of my friends got it for me as a birthday card years ago and I've always kept it.
This little badboy is one of my "cuties", although it doesn't get used as much as it should I still keep it around because it is purely adorable. Inside it includes a minature sewing kit and some buttons IN CASE OF EMERGENCY! Not that I would be the best person to handle a sewing kit, emergency or not.
To be honest my room probably wouldn't be complete unless there was a quirky mug half full with tea. Tea and Two sugars is definitley the way to a girls heart . . . or diamons, they work too!
Anyone who knows me will understand that unless my wall was full of pictures, it would not be a Livy Montgomerie room! This is my main picture wall at Uni and is completely covered in memories. Especially as this is my first time away from home, friends and family it was so important for me to have them around me in some way! I often find myself just staring up at the wall going over the stories behind each photo . . . its good for procrastination while doing Uni work! Its also a great talking point as when people come into your room you usually end up explaining people or events of the photos.
Probably my favourite item in the room MY BED! At home I am used to a double bed, so at first there was a lot of duvet falling off and bashing my head on the side, on one occassion my boyfriend actually fell straight out of the bed and ended up with a nice headache for memory the next day. But I do have to say it is THE COMFIEST thing ever! I spend probably 50% of my time at Uni in this bed, as a student I can literally sleep for England and will never understand how only last year getting up at half 7 for sixth form was the norm. My duvet cover and pillow are from Tesco and the London Bus pillow is from Next.
I am one for covering up the boring practical things with more exciting items, and the printer is no exception. I kind of feel as though it gives a "hairdresser look" to my room as guests have something to read. Not that they need to do that as I can talk for England anyway!
Last but not least is by far THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD! This is my customised side lamp from Ikea. I have been creative and also made it my hat stand with 3 bowler hats sleeping nicely on top. To top it all off I added my stick on moustache from "Movember" so it almost looks like a face! Its great and I love it! Simple customising is a brilliant way to make things look quirky and unique! I would recommend anyone to have a go, get creative!
Love Livy x
