Bit of a different post to cosmetics, but I love interior decor & I know lots of you do too. Plus, just sharing these gorgeous finds, so you know where to go to get some amazingly beautiful things.
I decided I needed new storage boxes for when I move into the new uni house. My room is a sort of box itself so I need lots of storage solutions. I went into IKEA..came out with a gorgeous bed throw that I've been lemming for ages, a cutlery holder & another cushion (I swear I have a cushion obsession, I have about 7 for my bed so far, it's a weakness!). So I come out of IKEA with no storage boxes pretty or big enough for my liking, TK Maxx next! I love TK Maxx for home furnitings, it has some amazing pieces, always the best place to go for something that's super pretty & usually quite unique (ie not an IKEA print lol).
I found this wicker basket, didn't need it, but err the Cath Kidstoneqsue print had me at first glance & I had to have it. I now have the decision of either having it at home or in my uni house! I also found some gorgeous V&A bedsheets for £13!! These I decided to keep for home since I'll be redecorating soon & these would be beautiful. The mug was also a beauty at £1.99, I feel rather grannyesque with it, lol. Then the box, ohhh the box. I don't know what I'll use it for, maybe jewellery, but I just had to have it. I mean look at it!
So these are my recent buys & no doubt I'll ant to get more things, pictures for my walls, shelves, more pretty things.... & hopefully some boxes!!

Oooo I love EVERYTHING!!! It's all so pretty, I'll have to have a nosey in my local I think. I haven't been to TK Maxx for yonks as it always resembled a crappy jumble sale and I could never see anything worth buying but maybe it's improved since then... Ooo I want to go NOW after seeing your gorgeous buys!

Great Post

@lola & @whitebutterfly01 ohh no, you don't have it? I know the US have TJ Maxx (I think that's what it's called!)
@claire loise they have some amazing boxes! They have big wicker ones, but the smaller cardboard ones with prints/pictures are fab!
@lisa I know what you mean, I think it's improved a lot over the years, but you still need a good hour or two to rummage through everything.
@glam I am I love the boxes from there =)
@superficialgirl ahh I know, I've turned all floral & girly, hehe.
@little floral button you lucky thing! specially when they have all the gems every now and then!
@Amy aww, I find that with some of them, but we seem to have some really good ones here. I haven't heard of that shop! I'll keep my eyes peeled though, a homeware shop full of tkmaxx home stuff would be amazing!!
@Simplynatural77 Hope it's at your local! They have two sizes, they're just beautiful =)
Aww thank you so much hun =)
xxxx
