Ideal Homes- Show Us Your New Purchases!

I love your chair, Marth. I want one like that for that mythical time when we have 'done the living room'. :))

It's embarrassingly called a snuggler.

[Princess Morripov]

That looks so cosy, Marth, I hope Mo lets you snuggle up :))

Love that corner too, Leap.

I bought what I think is a little plant stand for the corner of the living room that I like to sit and have a coffee (or a wine) as it was annoying me there was nowhere to rest my beverage :))

And a little fuel burner for the coffee table to take the edge off the cold without having to put the heating on :))

[Marth]

Lovely corner, Pov. I like your little wine table, and I'm very interested in your fuel burner

[bramblerose]

Yes, does it give off much heat?

Lovely chairs BTW

[Princess Morripov]

Oooh well, we have two now and I love them. I have a bigger wider one on the kitchen island (as there isn’t a radiator in there so when I turn the heating on it takes a while for the heat from the surrounding rooms to spread into there!)

I buy 12l of the fuel at a time for around £30 and I’d say this little one takes maybe 100ml at a time which lasts around an hour https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09HV2N7F1? ... b_ap_share

The larger one we’ve got in the kitchen takes around 250ml and that lasts 2.5-3 hours. https://amzn.eu/d/iqIw8BJ

You can use them outside too. They do throw out a decent warmth.

Very nice Leap! There's always so much space when the tree goes, isn't there?

Yes! It suddenly seemed like the previous chair didn’t take up enough space, as well as not doing the job I needed for that corner.

You’ve all been so nice. This is the only room I’ve really been inspired by. In fact we still have 2 rooms in this house in the original magnolia, 9 years later

I LOVE your chair, Marth. I picked up a book this week for the first time in months and it was lovely and also immediately made me long for a nice spot like that to make the most of it.

I bought a little trolley to try to clear my desk up a bit.

[Luna]

That looks great and I love the Lego flowers!

[Disco]

Very neat!

[FiveO'Clock]

I think I've found the light for my closet

[Marth]

That's so pretty, Five. I'm assuming this is a walk in area not a cupboard?

It's for our walk in. If it's easy to put up (and doesn't look as cheap as it is), I'll get another one but in black instead of nickel for the guest room walk in.

To make ourselves feel better about our house purchase/sale falling apart yesterday, we ordered new stuff for our TV room. A green cord sofa, new rug and Sonos lamp thing.

[Marth]

That will all look lovely together, Est

[Estrella]

Thanks Marth. I’m really pleased with how it all goes together IRL.

That's really nice. Looks great together

[Morganna]

It looks so stylish.

[Princess Morripov]

It looks lovely (and mega comfy!)

[Estrella]

Thank you :) It’s super comfy and the room feels really cosy and homely. Django has claimed his spot already.

I've treated myself to this, and it's lovely. I have a couple of framed photos of old Hometown in the hallway - one with cows being driven through the marketplace and another with men in top hats on the road along from my house. As they are old, they are dark, and obviously the hallway is a thoroughfare, so they don't really stand out. I've put the little light on a sideboard and pointed it at them, and they show up well. You can wall mount it or just lie it on a surface - the cone swivels and rotates, and it's cordless and rechargeable so it's versatile.

Annoyingly, however, mine arrived on Monday, and there is now a 15% off sale, which I only realised when I went to get a shot of the thing for this post. I have a few points to spend too, so am trying to think of where I could put another one.
