Now that we are approaching a new season I have been thinking about my home and the things I want to do to improve it. I have made a list of changes I would like to make and obviously have myself a budget for these iq option tournament. I think I would like to change something in every room in my home, whether it be new furniture or decoration I have set myself a goal of completing all of these things by the end of the Summer. My main rooms I want to concentrate on first are my living room & the girls room. I love looking at other peoples homes and really want to get some inspiration for my own living room ideas
The Perfect Home
I think we all have ideas of what our perfect home would be like, where it be living in a big house or having the perfect decor. For me I want my home to be cosy and a happy place where my children feel safe and comfortable. I want my girls to have a bedroom they want a room where they are happy to play in and sleep.
I thought I would share a list of my improvements for two rooms at home I would like to make and hopefully get some ideas from others too so if you have any make over ideas I would love to hear them.
Living Room
My living room is actually a nice size, but I don't feel its a room I feel cosy in. I rarely sit in my living room in the evenings and I would actually like to start doing so.
My sofa I have had for 6 year now its a leather corner sofa, as nice and big as it is I feel that I need a change. I have grown out of the whole idea of the corner sofa and really would love to get a big two seater, I have seen ideas of what I like now I just have to save to get the perfect one. I would like to also get a nice chair, its only me and the girls at home so I don't need any huge bits of furniture.

Dining table and chairs, I currently have an all white one at home, its small and round but for me its too clinical. I have purchased a second hand wooden round table and chairs and am going to paint and wax it, I'm quite excited about this but feel it would be more to my style and more homely.
Prints for my walls, I have had the same canvas prints for 6 years now, red flowers which I got to go with my red sofa! and I really think its time for a change.
I am going to browse Pinterest for some inspiring ideas. I quite like colourful prints and pastel colours so am excited to see what I can find.

If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them!
The Girls Bedroom
Now I want to change everything in their room. The walls have no pictures on at the moment so I want to go though some ideas with Abi and see what kind of prints she likes. I always think that things like pictures and little accessories really can make a room.
They currently have pine beds which I really don't like, I want to get a nice white bed for them each, something girlie I think white works well especially in a child's room as you can then change the decor to any colour really. Abi likes pink and purple, lovely girlie colours so it will be easy to find nice new bed covers, and little accessories.
Storage - This is absolutely essential in their room as they have SO much. I mean I know kids accumulate lots of things but I have no proper storage at the moment and am struggling to keep things in place. I have seen some really cool storage in Ikea which would look great in their room.
Overall for the rest of the home I would just love to update on the little accessories. Maybe put a few shelves up and get rid of any clutter.
What improvements are you making on your home this year?
