Friday fun: Bedside shelfies

Bedroom looks Ella Johnston ellasplace.co.uk I’m enjoyed posting my dining room shelfies a few weeks ago, so much I thought I’d show you my bedside shelfies this Friday. Bedroom looks Ella Johnston ellasplace.co.uk This blue number is my spare room, I like to create a cool soothing tone with these calming colour combinations.

The bottom shelf houses my collection of Print and Pattern books and is weighted down with a marble lidded vase. Bedroom looks Ella Johnston ellasplace.co.uk On the top I have a tea-light lantern made with from a Dannells kit and some self-dyed Shibori fabric. I also have another of my oversized lamps created with another Dannells kit and my Blue Leaves fabric. The print is from the marvellous Sally Elford, one of my favourite artists. The books are The Migrant Waders, published by Dunlin Press and Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees by Roger Deakin. On top of the books lies a little jewellery bowl I made myself from air-dry clay.
