I've been dyingggggg to share this with you guys but as promised I'm showing you my new home. I've been here for about two months now and I'm LOVING it! It's like a dream came true, haha! No seriously, I feel super blessed to be finally living by myself. God is great and he made it happen! Some details to the flat... It's a studio flat in East London Docklands near Canary Wharf, where I used to live for the past two years, so I just wanted to stay in this area as most my friends are around East. As you can see it's a very modern flat and was actually just finished when I moved in. It's a completely new building and the complex has a Starbucks (downstairs in my house, lol), a Sainsbury's and a gym with pool. This is like my dream having a Starbucks downstairs in my house but a curse as well. I need to tell myself every morning, 'no you can make your own tea/coffee'. It definitely requires discipline.
It's located very convenient 2 minutes from the DLR, has a park around and the thames, which is nice to go for a walk. My new home is not only my home, I put together a little home office as there's loads of work to do as a full-time blogger and it's not ideal to always work on the sofa with the laptop on your lap.
Since I like everything personalised, I thought it'll be important to personalise my wall art, too. I teamed up with Yesss Custom Designs to create all the prints in my flat. I think it's important to make a home as personal as possible and the prints are a great idea! Yesss Custom Designs not only do prints, they also do Snapchat filters and branding. Basically everything cute you need for your home or business! You can find them on their Etsy shop made by the lovely Mariona. Check them out! Can't wait to use my Snapchat filter on my birthday, yay!
You probably noticed that my rose gold obsession is clearly visible in my flat, haha. I tried really hard not to overdo it as I basically wanted to buy all the rose gold decorations I came across. Typical me! My favourite are the cute marble/ rose gold mugs with motivational quotes on and the cutlery. I mean it might be a bit OTT to have rose gold cutlery but I love it!!!
If you know me you know my home is very important to me and I spend a lot of time there. Some people just go home to sleep but I work here, have my friends over on a regular and I just love spending time at home, so it was a must for me to have it the way I picture a nice and cozy home.
