Decorating the House

Before

After

Today was a busy day!  My sweet puppy Albi had a hair appointment at 9:30 this morning...look how handsome he turned out!






While Albi was getting his hair cut, my mom and I decided we would go to Hanley's Seasonal Shop which is selling TONS of amazing Halloween decorations (yay!) but sadly it was closed.  It's not officially opening till Friday, boo hoo!  So we ended up going to Hanley's Garden Centre/Home Store and got some other things (which I'll show you later on in this post!).



Then my mom treated my sister Emma and me to lunch at Liberty Grill, a great restaurant in Cork.  I got the yummiest haloumi and roast vegetable sandwich...how delicious does that look?!  And THANK YOU, to my sister Emma for FINALLY letting me snap a pic of her!!  Doesn't she look pretty?  Leave lots of comments for Emma so she'll let me take pictures of her more often!!  Emma is 19 and just started college.  I'm so proud of her!

Here are some of my most recent purchases for the new house!  Let me know what you think!  Some of these were bought today and others in the last few weeks.  

Card for my room :) 

Journal

iPhone cover, which I CAN'T USE!!  It's for the iPhone 4 and mine is a 3GS.

A keycap...aww

A voucher for 10% off my next online purchase!

And finally, these are some items I bought today from Paperchase (upstairs in A-Wear!)  Aren't they so cute?!  I love Paperchase so much, I just can't stop looking at all their stuff and can never decide what to get...  

Sorry for the very long and picture-heavy post but I hope you enjoyed it!

Stay Stylish!

  7. Love your purchases! It's start to look very nice! I love the Aloe Vera plant ;) If you burn yourself when you're cooking or else you can cut one of its leaf and rub the burn with the interior of the leaf to relieve pain and heal faster ;) I really like the birdcage, it's will be very beautiful with the candle in it!

  17. Thank you for all your wonderful sweet comments <3

    @Anonymous#1 That wall art was actually here when we moved in (our house came furnished) so I don't know where it's from, I'm sorry! I would imagine it's probably not very expensive and from somewhere like Primark/Dunnes Stores though.

    @Chloe Thank you! You should tell her that yourself, she won't listen to me! :(

    @Anonymous#3/Katrin The waterlily wall art was super cheap as well, only €3!

    @Liesl Yes, it's definitely a lot of fun and you're right it's similar to styling an outfit! Yay :)

  18. Hi Anna, your house is beautiful!!
    And your bookcase is very good. Could you tell something about your books? You have the Skinny Bitch - is it good book? And I love your books about Marilyn :) Thanks :)

  19. Anna your home is looking great, I think you moved in after me but you have managed to finish the decor before me lol... And OMG I have that paperchase doggy key cap lol :) I need to buy MORE scatter cushions - tkmaxx is really great for unique ones, as is laura ashley and john lewis but v expensive aghhhhh! X

  20. Your sister is jaw-dropping gorgeous! She has to let you take more pix. Thanks for sharing your furnishings with us and the pup looks so handsome. But what I'm really after is that sandwich..yumm-o! hahaha

    ReplyDelete
  21. @Natalii Yes, Skinny Bitch is good but it's about going vegan, which I'm obviously not - lol! However it's very informative and it is good even if you're not vegan!

    @Muhsine Thank you! That's so funny about the keycap, I had never even heard of these things before. Yes, home decorating can be SO expensive if you want to buy nice things!!

    @Dye-A-Graham Thank you, I will pass on the message :) The sandwich was delicious!

  22. Hi Anna, I love your house... especially the view. you don't see that a lot here in Holland.
    I just noticed something...if I see it correct the three parts painting isn't hanging correctly. The middle one should be changed with the one on the right.
