Here it is, the first in a series of posts dedicated to our house. Starting with the bedroom. It is safe to say that minimal is not really in my vocabulary. I am also very lucky to have a boyfriend who doesn't mind sleeping in my overly feminine 'museum' disguised as a bedroom. Craig has a room that holds all of his stuff, and that's where he stores his drums. We met in the middle on the decor for the living room which is a combination of our tastes, you will get to see that in the next ' abode' post.
One day I would love to have a glamourous Art Deco room worthy of a Busby Berkeley film, but for now this space makes me happy.
My Grandparents lived in Malaysia for years and got to visit most of the world thanks to my Grandads job. My granny has always collected antiques so their home was filled with unusual pieces mixed in with all the beautiful things brought back from their time in Malaysia.
I have always been very close to my Gran and her tastes have defintely inspired my own, not to mention that a lot of the things seen here have been given to me by her over the years.
The 'tent' above our bed has been made from Malaysian fabrics that she saved for me.
Any one who has watched it will also see how much I have been inspired by Carnivale, I am totally and untterly in love with that show.
I have deliberatley not put any commentary underneath the pictures as I fear this post would go on forever! Most of my things have been collected over a life time of being a sucker for Bygone Era's and for having been brought up in a sleepy retirement area. Cheap charity shops used to be in abundance ( sadly not so much anymore).
If you would like to know more about anything you see in the pictures just ask in a comment and I will happily explain in a personal reply.
Hope you all have a wonderful week
Kelly-Marie xx
