Sneak Peak: into my bathroom window

Not so long ago I moved into my own little cottage in Midrand, after years of sharing houses with other females who I knew nothing about, and who in turn knew nothing about me. Ofcourse it is every young lady's dream to have her own space, styled as desired and doing in it as she pleases.

So started my pretty slow process into making my casa a haven for myself.

I have to admit, blogs and Pintrest are my go to places for inspirations, but sometimes they can get a little carried away with themselves and some of those studious looks do not really work in real life. Considering that houses get dirty, floors have to be sweeped and mopped regularly, tops have to be dusted every week, and well...some places are not picture perfect.

I will be giving you sneak peaks into my place, as it develops ofcourse, over however long it takes to show you what I will have created. If you remember the Home Aspirations/ Accessories post, I played around with some inspirations for the casa and honestly my mind changes all the time. What I liked today for the house might not be what I end up buying tomorrow.

Today is a little peek into my bathroom window sill:

Considering the space in my bathroom, and there not being towel holders, I have decided to place my towels on top of the urinal top (the place that keeps water, what's it called?). It is pretty convenient for me when I shower and when I need to wipe my hands.

My mother bought a couple of packs of sweet (strawberry) scented dry flowers for my graduation in 2009. Little did I know that my little sister 'taking' one them would result in them making my bathroom smell so nice when the windows are open. Way to go Esona! The petal top shaped miniature vase is a nice touch to bring the 'flower' look and feel to the area.

I hope you enjoy, and I would love to hear from you regarding what you have done with your own home!

Home Aspirations/ Accessories

I recently moved into my own space and have a little project/ goals up my sleeve as I am now faced with an empty pint sized bachelor cottage that I can do as I please with.

Insight: Since 2008, I have been praying for a place where I do not have to share living space and recently God answered my prayers. With this experience, I realised that the moment a person says a prayer, the answer is put into action. This may take a long time, but we have to remember that the answer to our prayers not only benefit us, but also impact other people's lives. And this is why some prayers take a tad bit long to answer. Isn't God just amazing?

Anyway, the place has to be decorated and customized according to my style and taste. I have been 'rummaging' the internet looking for inspiration, window shopping trying to pin-point pieces that would be a beaut at my place and just spending days daydreaming of what it will look like when I am done.

Accessorising a house does not have to be expensive, and I am sure to most it sounds like a very big deal. But simplicity paired with stylistic flair goes a long way! DIY is also a great way to complete the look of your home. Nowadays, even things that would have been considered rubbish yesterday, make the world of a  difference.

The following are some Items and Ideas that interested me today and might make an appearance at my place:

Bathroom

For my bathroom window sill.

My bathroom is extremely tiny, so I do not plan to do much with it. The blank wall will have some hanging/s frames, but one has to be careful of what kind of frame goes in there as the bathroom is usually steamy.

Bedroom

I have already implemented this book arrangement for my books which were previously kept in boxes.

Kitchen

Currently my kitchen has been set on off white and silver. I think a burst of colour will do wonders for the space, and to illustrate how white and silver work with colour, the picture above says it all.

I still have to decide which colours will fill my kitchen but I plan on using vases and maybe wall hangings to decorate.
