Mads and her room

Hi there Confetti Sisters! Its Mads here :)

Recently I moved in a new room in my house :) My brother was lucky enough to have the biggest room, and now he has moved out, I have taken up residence, move over big bro its my turn. I have been buying bits and pieces for my room since January. I just thought since it is very nearly finished I would share it with you.

For this blog post I am going to give you guys a tour and explain each part and what I hope to do with that space. For me my room shows my softer side, its a place where I can relax and most importantly its a place where I think the most. Someone that also spends some time in here is my puppy Tilda, she has a few favourite places to hang out. In this post you will see where she loves being the most, so look out for her :)

The first area I am going to chat about is my beautiful sitting chair.

This chair is super comfy and super cute! I bought this chair, the throw and the pillow all from IKEA. I ultimately want to buy a beautiful wingback chair so this is just a temporary option but I still think it does the job. The chair was on sale and only cost $40, I first saw the chair in black but after further investigation I discovered this beautiful grey, I think it suits my room better. The purpose of this chair is to fill space, maybe when I have company it might be a better option than sitting on my bed, for myself as well I think it will be really nice to sit in while I read or just hangout or look out my window. There seems to be a few cats that regularly visit my yard so that might be all the serenity I will experience.

My next part is my built in shelves.

Hahaha excuse my messy shelves. When my brother lived here he had a clothes rack and one of those wire shelving units, and first thing I did was vomit in my mouth a little bit. I really thought it was a waste of a really good space. Here is a photo of me in the space that is now the shelves above.

The fabric boxes I used are from IKEA and only cost like $4 each. My shelves are not IKEA, my Dad got the materials from Bunnings and made it himself. What is bonus about the shelves is that they are really deep, I can fit multiple stack of clothes in them. We all know what that means "More room means more clothes". I hear you sisters, you are preaching to the choir, I have heaps of room for more clothes!

My next section is my clothes racks. I got the inspiration for this from a few friends, about 3 of them had them. I had never seen it before but being the influenced youth I was, I jumped on that band wagon no questions asked. I have 3 clothes racks and they are white and super plain and simple, and only $10 from IKEA.

I have all my clothes seperated, into tops; sweaters, long tops, jackets; and at the end shorts and dresses. I have a friend who has hers colour coordinated and it looks sick but I really think I would not be able to keep it in order.

Oopsy I forgot my desk, I was supposed to go clockwise.. dang! But here it is :)

Lets be real...This whole ensemble is from IKEA. For me this is an unfinished area I hope to get a new desk for a more design space. Those wooden drawers are seriously the best, so cheap and so great! That chair there is metal and golly its super comfy and practical, it folds up to give more room for dancing.

My next area is right next to my bed :)

Take a look at my beautiful trolley, its meant to be a for the kitchen, but I thought I would turn it into a makeup/hair trolley. Its easy to move, I can separate everything, I do not want hair wrapped around my concealer, that time of my life is over. I got these cute little tins and boxes just to separate everything. I might do a blog post on the contents of my trolley, leave a comment if you would like to see that :) 

Last part is my bed and my bedside table, my best area. 

I just love this space. My bed frame and head board is from IKEA its in the Brimnes range. What I love about IKEA is just how you can buy matching items. Which is something that most furniture stores offer but the IKEA range is very large. The things that I might change is those wicker drawers, they just do not fit the rest of the room. Another thing I need to invest into is a full length mirror. Have you noticed that my desk char, my bin, beauty trolley and feature all match. That is the best think about IKEA. You can match all different stuff. 

Let me know in the comments if you like to see a blog post on my favourite makeup and hair products

This was super fun to write and can't wait to show you what I buy for my room next time :)
