This year I’m really trying to make the house a bit more homely. Up until now our living room has been a bit bare with no personality. Just recently we’ve had a bit of help from Melody Maison!
I’m in the process of working out my office space in a part of our living room that was once our library. I have just got the bulk of the furniture in there, minus the desk, and I wanted some pieces that looked nice but also helped me to organise everything.
Wooden Letter Rack Organiser with Drawer Storage
Right next to our front door is a small cupboard where our fuse box is. Due to the location of it, our post tends to either get dumped there or on the stairs. I have always hated that we didn’t have somewhere nice to put our letters. Now we do!
The letter rack is gorgeous. The wood is beautiful and it really goes well in our living room. The drawer is perfect for keeping a pen and some stamps so that you know exactly where they are when you need to send something!
Black Metal Wire Storage Basket
I gave up trying to get ready for the day in our bedroom as soon as Erin started to move. It was too hard to keep her contained/ entertained in our room while I did my make-up and hair so I had to move everything downstairs. Unfortunately though, my hair dryer, straighteners and make-up just ended up being dumped in a corner. This lovely metal storage basket is absolutely perfect for these things! I’m able to keep everything in one place and also out of Erin’s way!
Glass and Diamond Detailed Soap Dish
I work on a food counter at a well-known supermarket and I’m not allowed to wear any jewellery, apart from a necklace while I’m there. I have to take off my wedding and engagement rings each time I go to work as well as my charm bracelet and nose stud. I hate having to just put them on a counter somewhere because I’m scared they will get knocked off or lost at some point.
I decided to choose this beautiful soap dish as somewhere to keep my jewellery. I know I’m not using it for its intended use but I don’t care! This dish looks gorgeous on my shelves and I know my jewellery is safe and out of the way. Erin cannot reach where I keep it and it’s also so pretty to look at!

What beautiful pieces, I’m always taking my wedding and engagement rings off to moisturise my hands because I suffer with dry skin and always panicking that they’re lost so the soap dish is a great idea, and so pretty! I will definitely be entering the comp too!

I’m trying to make our apartment to look more like home as well, because we’ve planned to stay in this one for longer than we usually have stayed in one apartment. After all, this is D’s first home so 🙂
