Autumn Room Decor

Hello everyone! What lovely weather for a cozy night in; complete with warm sweaters, hot tea, a good book, and pumpkin spice candles! That's what my night will consist of this rainy, cold October day. Recently, I've been really into interior design and decorating. So.. last night I dropped into a little dollar store and chose a few bits and bobs to refresh my room with. Enjoy :)



So at my desk, I filled a clear vase with faux leaves and a little bouquet of faux autumn-colored flowers. I thought they looked so nice together and it really adds a lot of detail and color to my plain brown desk. I put my little table clock right next to it along with this tin  cup with a little tea candle in it. As you can see, I was a little hungry so placed alongside my clock is some popcorn and hot tea. And I just filled a basket with the remaining faux leaves. This is one of my favorite spaces in the room.
 
Next to my desk, I keep my laundry basket (with a cheeky little kitty inside), and a smaller basket next to that with a few toys for Bella the dog.
Now moving onto my dressing table. Here I have a plaque that says 'When I count my blessings, I count you twice' that my brother gave me for Christmas last year, a teacup full of hair pins, a small glass tree, another teacup and saucer with some of my everyday makeup inside, and a few candles to top it all off. Next to my dressing table, I have a full-length mirror for checking out my outfit ;)



Now, here is my bed with my little dreamcatcher and a special guest appearance from Bella the dog! I have a huge selection of pillows, a comfy duvet, and loads of sheets and blankets perfect for a cold day like today.
Also as a side note, I don't exactly have a room (my brother and I share) we decided to buy an outdoor gazebo and hung brown curtains around the perimeter. It's so nice having my own space and I always look forward to having some alone time. I strung some colored lights around the perimeter and a few icicle lights from the top for lighting. Sorry about the poor quality, it should be better soon. I hope you all enjoyed my little "room" tour and have wonderful rest of the evening! :)
 
Much love, Audrey
