Ten On The Tenth

Linking up with Shimelle for Ten On The Tenth.  I haven't done this for a long while.

Ten things I'm liking in my home at the moment:

Easter cards

Living room mirror

 We've had this since we got married in 1994 and I've had a bit of a love hate relationship with it. It was ok when we first bought it, then we hit the different papers on the top and bottom of the wall separated by a horrible border stage.  It was at that point that I hated it but now I'm onto the loving it again stage. I don't very often like what I see in it but hey ho such is life.

Artifical Flowers

 I always said I would NEVER have artifical flowers in my house but times change and I bought these in the M&S sale to match my feature wallpaper that you can see on the mirror photo.  I think they are orchids and yes I love them.

Photo Frame

I saw this at half price in Sainsburys a couple of weeks ago and couldn't resist using some Nectar points on it. Haven't got around to putting any pics in it yet.  The box behind it is a new kitchen cupboard door from B&Q to replace one that was water damaged.  I want to replace them all but sods law the sale they always have on kitchens hasn't been on lately so I just bought the one for now.  It's waiting for us to get the right size screws but I keep forgetting.  Unfortunately I can't replace everything I need to right now because some of the units are broken beyond repair and we can't afford to replace them.

Bird picture

I don't like birds in real life but I like all the bird cage stuff that is around at the moment.  I couldn't resist this canvas for £10 in the Next sale last summer.

Stair carpet

 We had this fitted last week thanks to a gift from my dad (thanks dad).  After two years of no carpet at all it is absolute bliss to step onto carpet on a morning.

New bookcase

This little space at the bottom of the loft stairs and outside my middle son's bedroom previously housed our step ladders.  I was determined they weren't going back there so I bought this cheap little bookcase from Argos (£12.99) and it now houses a lot of the kids books we have.  We have another much larger bookcase at the bottom of the main stairs with lots lots more books on. Yet more artificial flowers on it - again M&S sale last year - peony in a blue jug.

tins of paint

 These are hopefully going to transform my kitchen soon.  It is currently a horrible yucky mid green colour and I'm going to go cream.

tea towels and red polka dot storage jars

 Cream walls with touches of red and beige so I bought these from Next when I saw them before I could change my mind.

New curtains

Next sale again and in need of a bit of alteration.

Thats my ten on the tenth for this month.
