House Tour 4 Years After Moving In

It’s 4 years since we moved into our new house which was a complete start to finish renovation project! Today I am taking you for a tour of the house, showing you what’s new, telling you what I am glad we did and what I regret, plus our plan for what we want to do next. I hope you enjoy this tour of our home!

Our House Journey So Far

Living Room

Corner Sofa

I debated over and over about whether to go for a corner or separate sofas (as you’ll see in the vlog below).

We went for the corner sofa in the end and I must say that I love it! The sofa is the perfect place to snuggle up as a family as it provides loads of seating.

Cocktail Sofa

Near the window I have this accent cocktail sofa in blush pink. It’s compact and best of all was really affordable.

Cushions

Top tip

When purchasing cushion inner pads, buy them one size larger than the cushion cover in order to keep your cushions plump.

Blankets

I bought the throws in The Range in this shop with me and haul video.

Storage

The kallax storage in our living room is mainly used for toy storage in order to keep the room tidy.

Smart Lights

Organisation Station

Dining Room

Table Covering

Grey Washable Mats

Cocktail Sofa

Laundry Room

Home Office

Playroom

Toy Kitchen

This toy kitchen not only “goes well” with the playroom (in spite of the fact that it was bought for our last house), but it’s a great way for the children to both play with and store toys.

Master Bedroom

Ottoman Bed

We have a kind sized ottoman bed in grey with extra storage. I am delighted with the bed, especially the amount of space underneath to store items that would otherwise be cluttering up the house. The bed was gifted to me by Arista Living for the purpose of an honest review and I can honestly say that I am happy to recommend it to anyone.

Packing Cubes

There is no use having all of that amazing storage under the bed if it’s not organised! I use these packing cubes to pack away off season clothes and other things that I do not need immediately.

Mattress

We went for an Emma mattress and it is unbelievably comfortable.

Mattress Protector

There is no point in having an amazing mattress, only to have to ruined by stains and spills, especially when you have kids. I have 2 of these mattress protectors, one on the bed and the other in the wash, so our mattress is always protected.

Cushions & Throws

All off the cushions and throws in our bedroom were purchased in the Range. For full details of which one I bought, checkout the video below.

Ceiling Light Fitting

Echo Dot

We have an Alexa Echo in our bedroom, as well as a number of other rooms ion our home. We use the Echos for listening to music & audiobooks, as well as voice controlling the lights.

Smart Plugs

The bedside lights in our bedroom have been turned into “smart lights” that can be controlled by Alexa using these plugs. I also have one controlling my hairdryer, straighteners and dressing table lights. This way I know that when I have asked Alexa to “turn dressing table off” there is no reason to panic that I may have left my straighteners on.

Hair Tool Organiser

My hair tool organiser has been a game changer. Although I could easily leave it on my dressing table, I have chosen to store it underneath to keep the top of the table free. It is an idea way to store my hair tools, even when they are still hot.

Wallpaper

The wallpaper in our bedroom is called Pixie Dust, my girls also have the Pixie Dust in Pink in their bedrooms.

Mirrored Wardrobe Doors

My husband built the frames of the wardrobe and maximise space by creating built in wardrobes. These are the doors that we choose to complete them, they were inexpensive but I am pleased with them.

Dressing Table

My dressing table and drawers are all from IKEA’s MALM range. The lights and mirror are from IKEA too.
