Home: Inspiration Table.

Over the past few months I have discovered how blooming' difficult interior decorating is, it definitely doesn't come naturally to me and so choosing paint colours, pieces of furniture and everything else is all a bit of an ordeal - it seems to take me forever to make a decision. We don't really have a theme for each room, between the two of us we have such eclectic taste that instead we're just opting for things we like and hoping for the best!

One thing that had been on my wish list for a little while was a little side table that I could put some of my current favourite things on as sort of an inspiration table, to live in what will soon be my studio space. Please ignore the floor in the top pictures, it needs replacing sometime in the near future - it's on the never ending list of things to do! I wasn't really sure what I wanted other than that I'd like it to be white to match the other pieces in the room.

NotOnTheHighstreet, which is a website you can definitely lose an entire afternoon exploring, got in touch asking if I would like to pick out something I liked and when I spotted this Butler's Tray Table♦ I thought it would be perfect. For under £50 I'm really impressed, it's the perfect size and the little details really make it look and feel more expensive than it is. I like the antique white finish to the paint work, it's almost a little shabby chic without being too shabby chic - if that makes any sense at all?!

I think the things on it will change all the time, with it being in my photography space I'm sure within a few weeks it'll be covered in cameras, but for now it's a bit like the rest of the house - eclectic, which I'm using in place of 'messy' because it sounds better! The vintage bottles and dominoes were a car boot sale find last year and I'm very excited to go to a few again this year. I'm not very disciplined though and usually end up coming home with an armful of things I'm not sure what to do with. Of course I have a few cameras sitting there and an empty Hendricks bottle that was too pretty to throw away. Finally we have this super sweet golden owl from Matalan that I have named Owliver. I couldn't leave him in the shop, I'm one of those people, always a complete sucker for cute things!

Next on my home decor to do list is artwork. I wandered around the house a couple of days ago and realised just how many walls we have to fill, which is both amazing and daunting at the same time. We have a couple of frames that I need to fill with our photographs and some canvases to hang, but apart from that I think I'll be turning to NotOnTheHighStreet again for some beautiful prints, I really love supporting indie artists and designers, now all I have to do is narrow down my list!
