Gift Guide: New Home

It's been one whole year since we picked up our keys to our little flat and it's been one hell of a ride. To start with I've managed to put up with living with a boy, which I think I deserve a medal for. Yes they smell. Yes they're messy. But they have dinner ready for when you get home for work and don't moan about your obsessive cushion arrangements or bed making- at least that's what mine does/doesn't.* In light of this flatversary I've put together a collection of gifts we received when we moved in/bought for other people that are perfect for new homeowners. 

1. The best bathroom guest book there ever was from Oliver Bonas.
2. Pretty colourful vases or 'Amalfi Torps' as Next call them. 
3. All drinks need a deep sea diver ice-cube from John Lewis.
4. Pom pom cushions are always a winner from Oliver Bonas.
5. A jazzy unicorn spaghetti measurer from The Gift Oasis.
6. A Disney reference is essential with this be my guest dishcloth from H&M.
7. A giant colouring page of the world from Oliver Bonas.
8. Make a house a home with this yellow decorative frame from Zara.

9. Super adorable pair of garden gnomes from Next.

10. Have a fart-free zone with his candle from The White Company.

11. Because ordinary toast is for losers from Waterstones
12. A decorative rolling pin from Anthropologie.
13. A retro radio for kitchen dancing from John Lewis.

*I'm partly-kidding about the smelly and messy part and I love living with my BFF!

Pantone Colour of the Year: Homeware Lusting

So it was announced at the start of this year that Pantone's colour of the year wouldn't be just one, but two colours, how exciting! It's not just the year of the fire monkey but also of Rose Quartz (PANTONE 13-1520) and Serenity (PANTONE 15-3919). A very important person at the company has described the colours to reflect "connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace", the kind of feeling you get when you are colouring in one of those adult colouring books- we all you know you have one. Personally, I think it's a wonderful combination, my wardrobe is loving it and it has #futurehousecolourscheme all over it so I've put together a bit of a home ware wishlist of all the Rose Quartz and Serenity coloured pieces I've bought, I'm dreaming of. P.S. Homesense is a great place to get some inspiration! 

1. ASDA- Wall Clock | 2. M&S- Magnolia Jug |  3. Next- Reed Diffuser | 4. John Lewis- Rug | 5. H&M- Wooden Box | 6. Matalan- Knitted Pouffe | 7. John Lewis- Armchair | 8. Tesco- Vases | 9. H&M- Cushion Cover 

Just putting together these Homewars bits has got me dreaming. Pair them with some copper accessories and you've hit the mark for me! What are your favourite pieces?
