Inspired by a recent post from Stella over at Confessions of a Female Drag Queen I thought I would share with you guys a glimpse inside my home! I share a flat with four others in Shoreditch, East London just at the end of the wonderful Columbia Road. Our kitchen and bathroom aren't too exciting so I shalt bore you with snaps of our tumble dryer. Instead here's a peak into my room, stuffed full with all the clutter I'm sure you imagined it to have.
I am lucky to have such a large room in London, especially one with two
huge sash windows. Over them I hang some of my favourite sheer clothing
and Victorian bodices. On the right of my dressing table is my 1967 Hacker
record player and the sewing area. To the left is the sofa and coffee table.
This is where Aimee and I lye and watch Peep Show! The bed linen is
Cath Kidston, Crochet throw, pillows and pink 30s piano shawl from
Lewes antique stores. The little glass covered 30s side table belonged to
my Nana, she bought it back to the UK from when she lived in Singapore
in the 60s.
This little office area is where I study and blog. I found the wooden desk
in courtyard behind my building and made Aimee help me carry it up the
three flights of stairs to my apartment. Sorry about the little pile of shoes on
my sofa, didn't realise they were there!
Another shot of my desk. I'm terribly embarrassed about how grimy my
lap top screen looks, its really not that dirty, its the lighting a swear!
Here's my little sitting room area. I have a wonderful large brown leather arm
chair which usually sits next to the sofa but my clothing rail has recently
collapsed so I need it to hold it up against the wall! Above the sofa is another
of my 20s flapper dresses, this ones is sadly a bit to delicate for day to day wear.
I hope you all enjoyed seeing inside my room, Aimee and I bought some really
exciting bargains this weekend so stay tuned for some outfit posts, Edwardian
skirts, 30's slips and celluloid sun glasses await !
Love Harriett xx

Oh, so cute! I always love dresses and things hanging on the walls.
ReplyDeletexo,

It's a beautiful room! My mum and her family also lived in Singapore in the 1960s and all of our houses are full of little trinkets from there!
ReplyDeleteStealing some of these ideas! So gorgeous, as per.
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love your blog, I have rekindled my love of palazzo pants entirely because of Aimee and since my favourite pastime is typing 'edwardian' into etsy, I am very excited for the next post.
I wanted to ask, not just you, but your (clearly very) discerning readers. I am off for a weekend in Bath (I'm from Dublin) with boyfriend. I am dedicating a day to vintage and charity shopping and is there anywhere that I should go (surrounding areas too!). And is there anything else I shouldn't miss, that I could do with the boyfriend? I realise, H & A are based in London, but I don't know any blogs based in the area and I figure someone could make a recommendation!
Thanks and lots of girl love
Claire.
Hi Claire, thanks for the love! Afraid neither of us have Bath experience. We'll repost this on our Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/brightyoungtwins
Deletehehehe lots of girl love to you too sweetie! Let me know what you find as I may be visiting bath soon. xx
Hello Claire,
Deletei thought i'd just quickly mention that when i was in bath last year (i'm from Melbourne) i stumbled across Vintage to Vogue, tucked away down a side street. Admittedly didnt actually buy anything from there, but it was a lovely shop to browse. http://www.vintagetovoguebath.co.uk/
Wish i was going back to Bath (or the Uk in general), have a lovely time!
Clare
So lovely!! Hoping that when I move to London in September I'll be able to make my room look half as beautiful as this x

What a lovely room and like you say, big for London, lucky girl, I am feeling a little jel right now x
ReplyDeleteomg omg OMG! I could go on, but I worry I will sound like an idiot. ;) It's just amazing, like a dream.
ReplyDeleteI love the area where you live, I used to work in Old street for 6 years, so naturally, I hung out in Shoreditch a lot! (I currently reside in Canada)

I too like to incorporate my clothes into my interior design. What a nice space!
ReplyDeleteI love it, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the vintage style!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space; it looks so calm and elegant. I too hang up my most delicate antique garments; my old roommates thought I was mad, but they're just as beautiful as as a work of art, as your space proves!
ReplyDeleteSuch romantic, feminine things :) Lush.
ReplyDeletesuch a dreamy little place. as a new follower I can't wait to see more :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a divine wee nest you live in! I'm so glad to hear that others have the eternal problem of collapsing clothing racks, not just me! I'm having a right lovely perve at all your glorious frocks and stoles hanging off the walls and your pictures and dried bunches of flowers are magical:)) xoxo
ReplyDeletesigh! swoon! what a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteYour room is oh so dreamy!! Just how I imagined it would be! xx
ReplyDeleteBursting with loveliness, only one thing missing ... a cat.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Harriett. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely!x
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling space! I love how you have clothes hung on the wall about the room; I did that in our last apartment and loved the color it added to the walls. :) Thanks for sharing a peek inside your space!
ReplyDeleteDivine, such a heavenly living space xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely and I'm so jealous! I'm actually embarrassed as you've seem the house I share with three men and everytime it was really messed! xxx

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room, it feels so spacious and I love that your precious vintage pieces can be out on display. xox
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely room, great blog!
ReplyDeleteoh this room is truly adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove your room! You've made such a good use of the space, inspiring me to perhaps shuffle a few things round our little den in Brighton.
ReplyDeleteGot any trips planned to Brighton again?
Hope you have a lovely time in Berlin, I fell in love when I went in December, you should definitly try to pop into the DDR Hotel - Ostel, in the East, they even have a DDR themed restorant next door! I put up some pictures after we went in December, you should take a peek :)

ReplyDeleteI got very inspired by these photos of your little den :D It looks pretty much how I imagined it too look like, very sweet, a bit dusty and decadent, but very "you". Thank you for sharing these lovely photos! KissKiss!
