Louis XV style chest
This Louis XV style chest is painted in a lovely duck egg blue hue, with a distressed finish, which helps give it a nice rustic look. We like the fact that the top is left as plain wood, which provides a good contrast.
The chest has a distinctive curved front, with three large drawers, and has black handles. It’s a very nice piece, which would fit in well with any rustic styled room, and it’s available from Rose & Grey.

A functional wall sticker
Wall stickers, or decals, have become terribly fashionable and are a great way of brightening up walls and adding points of interest, without having to do tons of messy decorating.
They come in all shapes, sizes and designs, but we rather like this coat tree wall sticker. Once you’ve applied it to the wall, why not buy some pegs or hooks and make the sticker functional, as an actual coat stand?
It’s fun and quirky and it will help tidy up your coats or clothes too!
The coat tree wall sticker is available from Beth Stevens.

Pretty decorative shelf
This pretty decorative shelf would be the ideal place to display all your treasures and collectables, or to serve as a more practical storage solution in any room of your home.
The two painted shelves are lined with a blue/green damask, which works very well as a background, and it’s quite shabby chic in design.
The decorative shelf is available from Camel and Yak on Not On The High Street.

Vintage Lolita chandelier
Bombay Duck is one of my favourite shops and I love exploring all the new door handles, hooks and other gorgeous homeware that they’ve got in stock.
They’re renowned for having lovely chandeliers, although usually they’re a bit far out of my budget. But then this beauty caught my eye.
The bestselling vintage Lolita black chandelier, with crystal flowers, has been significantly reduced in price – down from £245 to £125. It’s adorned with tiny black beads, crystal cut flowers and crystal pendants and would look stunning hung from the ceiling.
I’m sorely tempted. What do you think?

Rose pink bowls
These beautiful ceramic bowls caught our eye because of their colour – they’re in a lovely rose pink hue.
The bowls are in a French style and are described as cereal bowls, but you could use them for a multitude of purposes, like serving desserts, as ice cream bowls or even for decorative purposes.
The bowls come in a set of six, for £37, from Jasmine Way. If pink isn’t for you, then they’re also available in white, brown, grey or light blue.
