I love the idea of having a bar in your home - they do not take up a lot of space and you do not necessarily have to buy a new piece of furniture. Have fun displaying different glasses, a collection of decanters and your finest bottles.

My favourite bar accessories -
Decanter tags 

Trays are the best way to clump together glasses, decanters and bottles making them look presentable
Monogrammed chevron tray - Pretty Smitten $80

Sneak Peak - Kids Playroom

When redecorating I always look at existing pieces the client has and I see if I can revamp them. My client had a child size table ready for the garbage. I sprayed the table grey and decorated it in stickers from Ikea $9 now it is the perfect side table to accompany his wii

Jewellery Board - DIY

Buy a canvas from an art store with a staple gun drape your favourite fabric around it. Poke nails/pins through the fabric and hang your favourite pieces. Both useful and aesthetically pleasing and remember you can always change it up!

Overload

Sharing a room with someone at an older age can be very difficult if  your anything like me - I have SO much stuff. Collections of make up, nail polish and jewellery over the years can be overwhelming for any man and mine is no exception. I tend to be a bit messier than my husband but I like to refer to it as more eclectic. I  had to implement some sort of organizational system if i wanted to continue to share a room. My vanity and judy seem to house my stuff quite well. 

Quick tip - use mason jars, trays, tea cups or plates anything that can help group your cosmetics so they appear to be more organized.
