Window sill upgrade!

So as I posted yesterday, the window sill could do with a little jazzing up. We went to Ikea to buy some basic stuffs, shelves to go on the wall later on and plastic flowers to go in the window sill.





We re-used some old pots that were sitting around empty.



Since I'm able to kill of even plastic plants I'm not allowed anywhere near them... the boyfriend started clipping and putting the lot together. I quite like the result. Simple, a little touch of colour and above all, cheap and allergen-free!



The pots are all different, I'm not made for symmetry.



Ideally I would have wanted five or six of these plants, and maybe two orchids as well, I love orchids! But yeah, sticking to the budget and all. So I went shopping in my own house, searching for decorative items that would go nicely with the flowers.
I came across some souvenirs that I brought home from a trip with my mum to Marrakech, Morocco a few years ago. A beautiful lamp and traditional tea-glasses.





I love this lamp, I really like how it's a bit crooked and I adore this shade of blue, so pretty when daylight shines thru it!

And my tiny tea-glasses, my little girl thinks they are so pretty, and well, I do too. If it weren't for her tiny greedy little hands they would be on my coffee table.



And the final result. I quite like it. It's not really that much of a change but it looks neat and decorated from the outside and it gives me a homy feel from the inside. And most of all, it's easy maintenance and just looks pretty.
