My Uni room!

So I thought I'd do a post on my bedroom at University to give people ideas on things they could do or buy for their own room.

Right this this is the view as soon as you walk through the door, i wish i had taken a before and after picture but i totally forgot! So basically in this room it came with all the fixture furniture on the right hand side, the bed, the mattress and some really ugly curtains.  As storage was a big worry for me my mum bought me the white set of draws which you can kind of see on the left hand side, these are just simple white draws nothing that fancy about them and we purchased them from Ikea and i think all together they worked out around £50-£60 as the glass top is optional but i would recommend buying a set of draws if there is enough room as everything is so much more organised.  Also form Ikea i bought the little bedside table at the side which was on sale for £15 as i thought it was so cute as it is all metal but its made to look like a table with a tablecloth on it and when i go home it will match my bedroom perfectly anyway.  The curtains that were in the room originally were horrid, they were blue and yellow in the strange pattern so me and my mum went to a Boundary Mills store and got the purple ones shown in the picture for £15 on sale i think.  The pink rug is just an old one we had in the house from my old bedroom decoration but it was only cheap around £15 i believe from a Dunelm Mill store.  Also the shelves that you can kind of see above my desk, i have filled with nik naks from home like ornaments and some pictures of Audrey Hepburn i had up to make it feel more homely. 

Next i thought I'd show you my bed.  I have two sets of bedding from Tesco and this is one of them, i just thought it was sort of shabby chic and girly and that's what i love! The throw along the bottom again is just something i had stored at home from my old bedroom but i can't really remember where or how much that was, but you would be able to pick up a throw pretty easy and cheap anyway.  Finally the decoration pillows, the front pink one was £2 in the sale at matalan and it just went with the bedding which is why i bought it and you cant really see it but there is a white leather one behind that which i picked up from a carboot for £1, bargain as it has a saks label on it! 

And finally is just a front view of the draws (it doesn't look like that anymore, trust me) as i said, simple draws, these are the pictures i took on the day i moved in so its very messy now at the side of these pictures but on there now is a glass vase thing where i keep my hair products and there is makeup brushes in the pink vase as well.  The picture frame behind is what work bought me when i left and they took a picture of all the staff and put it in the frame and they also gave me £120 which i was so grateful for! But yes, they sell frames like this a lot of places now and i am pretty sure you could get something similar quite cheap.

If there is anything else you wish to see like my organisation of draws or how I store all my Uni work just leave a comment and I'll get straight to it! Peace.
