I’ve always been a little wary of sharing images of our house. Internet privacy and all that. Our house is sort of recognisable in our street in our town if you know the area. It’s odd-looking, that’s why. But as I put some finishing touches on the bookshelf I thought, why not, I’ll grab some photos. Inside totally doesn’t count. Maybe if I had piles of cash lying around or valuable stuff but really, we don’t have much. You’d have to be desperate to steal Hubby’s trophy cup from 1901 to sell for monies.
So here I go.
Do you have a favourite part of your home? I love this entry/display/where I work corner. It’s colourful and welcoming and has plenty of shoes. There are a few things that annoy me about it at the moment that I’ll probably change. But I love this spot. Being here, looking at all the pretties is my favourite thing ever. Oh and don’t laugh at my book collection, these are books I’ve been given or loaned that I haven’t read yet. Haha. IT’s a book waiting room.
Happy Saturday folks. x
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
Love the two figures in the glass bowl😃 with the small golf bangle was that yours as a child?
I love the lamp base on the bookshelf and the prints free standing! Very nice! 🙂 Also, is that a rug in the mac/nailpolish shot?? If so, where the heck is it from??? 🙂
Thanks Caseii! The lamp base I bought at the Target outlet. The shade is Ikea. The rug {yes it is} is also from Ikea and was ridiculously cheap at like $99 or something. It p[perfectly fills the big empty space in our lounger area. Love that.
I must know where you got that fantastic red clock from!
It was gift but I’m pretty sure she picked it up from a local homeares store. I can check the brand if you’re super keen?
It’s ok. Thanks though 🙂
I’m so lazy. Haha. I was right there and was like, man I totally have to get up now don’t I? 😉
Haha I was actually being lazy too. I was like, if she tells me then I’ll actually have to go find it lol
Haha. We make an awesome team.
Ohh! I love what you’ve used to put your shoes on! Never thought to use one of those for shoe storage!
As you know I have BIG feet. I need big shelves to store my big shoes on. Haha.
I love how you store your shoes. So much nicer than a boring shoe rack!
Thanks Sarah. I have a second shelf like this but it’s on loan in a friend’s shop at the moment. The ones on the floor only drive me a LITTLE batty. 😉
As I read this post, I thought to myself, she HAS done at least one post where front of her house is front and centre and the ONLY reason why I remembered that, is because it popped up as one of those suggested blog posts to read at the bottom of one of your other posts last week! I love your house, inside AND out 😉
I DID! Kel said that too. The Kel vs the front yard one, I think. Shhhh. Keep it on the downlow. 😛
My lover thinks I have too many shoes but wow, he really has no idea.
I don’t have a favourite part of my home but the entertainment unit is ‘the pretty’ bit. There I have my vignette; a tablescape. My arrangement of books, photos, boxes and objects, topped with a vase of flowers. It’s a constantly changing place that reflects moods and occasions.
Haha. No idea AT ALL. I have baskets of them. It’s ridiculous. Hard to get rid of though, as a size 11 they can be hard to come by! Sounds lovely. I love a great spot to be able to arrange stuff and just let it be pretty and awesome.
I love how this bookshelf is styled!!! So personal and colorful. I have a similar piece of furniture that I´ve been trying to style for a year and can´t get it to work. It´s really irritating! Hahaha.
Thank you Gi! It really is personal. A little bit of us in each frame. Places we’ve been, things we love, photos and more. It’s the best. And I hear you, this annoyed me. It always looked messy. The boxes help with that, to hide the clutter of things.
Love it! So bright and colourful and pretty.
Thanks Sarah!
Book case looks GREAT! Love your clock. Want one!!!! 🙂
Thank you! My Mum bought me that for Christmas. IT’s the BEST.
Lovely pics! I am impressed with that shoe collection!
Thank you Ashley. And yes! My collection has sort of exploded in the last year. No idea HOW that happened. 😉
Yes it was. My christening brooch is in there too. It’s sort of like a little wish for us IYKWIM.
Love the way you’ve set up the bookshelf! Also, the way that your messy shoe pile actually looks fancy makes me a bit jealous.
P.S Love the Cosmo Bride magazine in the mag pile. I still hover lovingly over the wedding section in the newsagency, despite being very happily married for seven years.
Thanks! It’s like a little display of US. Kel has a shelf with his developing rum collection adn some vintage bottles he found on sites, then there’s the wedding one etc etc. Love it. Ahh yes, that shoe pile, sheesh, it’s taking over my life. Haha.
And YES! That’s the Cosmo Bride WE were in. That’s why it’s there. Memories!
Love the clock. House looks really nice.
Thank you Pat!
