My Mid-Century Home

Long time no blog! I swear I will get better I promise - just with job hunting then actually working a full time job as well as house hunting and now (fingers crossed) moving, life has been a little hectic to say the least! I currently live in new build flat but in a months time will hopefully be living in a little terrace house. As my flat is new build I never really felt I could really make it my own (and my boyfriends, haha!) as we were very restricted with what we could put on the walls etc... So moving to a house makes me even more excited as I really want to put my stamp on it and give it the 'wow' factor. One of my goals in life is to be one of those people who have a really cool house - one where when guests walk in they are 'oo-ing' and 'ahh-ing' and make comments like 'this is sooo you, Amber!'. Do you get my drift? As soon as we viewed our hopefully-soon-to-be house I was already envisioning how I wanted it to be. I've always had a soft spot for interior design and that meshed with my love of all things retro... well.. that's left me with no other choice but to turn the new house into My Mid Century Haven. And now that my Boyfriend has given me free reigns with the decoration and interior... Well let's just say I've been non-stop Googling for ideas :-)

Retro Homeware On The Highstreet

Long time no speak! I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and a beautiful New Years! I was gifted the most fantasic microwave (yes, you read that right!) for Christmas from my Dad. I saw it on the Wilkinsons website and instantly fell in love! I'm sure you will too when you see it! And I'm sure if it was in an expensive kitchenware shop, you'd be expecting to pay well over £100 for it. I, however, found it for the unbelievable price of just £50! If any of you follow me on Instagram, I'm sure you will have already seen it, but here is my perfect microwave (I never thought I be pairing those two words together!)



It looks even better in real life!

And here's how it looks in my kitchen :-)
