The best Harry Potter Content on the Internet






*BOOKMARK THIS PAGE - I will be adding to it as I find new content!* 


I am a huge Harry Potter Fan. The perk is that the initial upset on finishing the books is quickly over with the stream of amazing content on the internet.






= This video parody of Uptown funk has been floating around the internet - with very good reason. I love the original of the song - but this video and song parody is amazing.



= Here is a list of alternate castings for the Harry Potter Movies. Some of them work better than others....

Take a look here

A potential Alternative for Barty Couch Junior. Thoughts?







= The other really popular Harry Potter video this week has been this interpretation of the friends theme. Total genius.



= If I was getting married again I would draw inspiration from this amazing Harry Potter inspired wedding article. But (hopefully) I won't be.... so might have to steal some ideas for my next birthday party?



= One very clever person has put a video together that puts all the story plot of Severus Snape into chronological order.If you didn't understand the value of Severus within the plot, this is the video that will explain all. It literally had me almost sobbing at my desk at work this morning.




= If you are looking for further Harry Potter music videos - I discovered "Not Literally Productions" on Youtube completely by accident. They have got some absolutely amazing parody songs. This one about Gryffindor pride is one of favourites.









= Then this series of cross over truths appeared on my Facebook feed the other day. Mind = Blown.


= If you are after some inspiration for a fan fiction plots this article on a range of fan theories could be worth a look. 

10 Strange Fan Theories That Will Change How You View Harry Potter



= Confessions from JK. Rowling

15 times JK Rowling shocked Harry Potter fans


= You will love this article on Hypon.com. It is 17 facts that Rowling has told us about the gang after the books finished. It's a great resource if you're writing an in-canon post book fic.



= I need this quilt in my life. Where do I get one???

= This similarly beautiful selection of signs from a Facebook store. I would love something similar to this in my bedroom! The boxes would also be an amazing box to store my crafts in. 


= An art student designed these amazing illustrated Harry Potted books. Take all my money and make me one please! Find more images here. 





Hope you enjoyed my blog! Don't forget to follow me on twitter to stay updated.

Funky Interior Design Inspiration





For nearly a year now I have been working with an amazing lighting company called Shine Lighting. This has given me an amazing insight and appreciation of interior design. To celebrate this, here is some of my favourite interior design related articles/idea that I have found circulating around the internet at the moment.

Articles by me 




If there is time, I try to put together design related blogs inspired by my favourite design trends. Here are some of my favourites...

This was inspired by my love of reading and a lot of inspiration from Pinterest.

What to do with unused space – Reading Nooks



The next article was written based on a number of discussions with customers. I thought I would put something together that might be useful. 

10 Steps - Bathroom design made simple


Moroccan style is something that has completely blown my mind. I completely adore the combination of fabrics and colours and lights.

Ideas by others

Another perk of managing the social media for Shine Lighting is that I get to see some amazing interior design articles.

My total love and huge collection of books quickly helped me fall in love with this article:

GET ORGANISED: STYLISH BOOKSHELF IDEAS




This is less of an article and more of just an amazingly clever idea for a coffee table. If you don't like fish, or water, then look away now.

About the only problem I can see with this idea is if you need to move your coffee table occasionally.... I'm thinking a sturdy frame with wheels? Personally, this idea does 2 things for me. It solves the problem of having no space for a fish tank and gives me a totally amazing dining room table. 





To continue the theme, this kitchen island is amazingly beautiful. If you have a passion for fish, the size of this tank will allow you to create an amazing collection.

Jan 2015 - Resolution Update Reorganising


January has become the month of choice to redecorate my bedroom. I've managed to take out 8 carrier bags of clothes to the charity shop. There was quite a bit that I found that I'd forgotten I owned to begin with! Any denim has gone in a bag to create something with - watch this space.






I've completely taken my desk apart and replaced it with a storage unit. We got one of those 9 box white units from B&Q. They do a range of fabric boxes to fit the shelves (although the colours are a bit limited) and additional shelves to half the height.

This has massively reduced the space being taken up at the end of the bedroom. So we have now freed up some extra space for a seating area in the bedroom.

In addition to creating a new seating area, we have also now created a brand new feature wall in the bedroom. My husband loves graphic novels and so he participated actively in finding the prints for the walls.

Marvel Universe Feature Wall


The marvel wall was inspired by our new table. We brought it (for £55!) off our friend  (Shabbylicious) who is fabulous at upcycling  furniture. This new table is definitely one of my favourite things in my bedroom. We got it just before christmas. But we have finally sorted the room out enough to move it in! 



The room is definitely not finished yet. But it's a really fun project. It's on hold for the moment though. We're being given a second hand double bed this month. We have one of those solid ones with no space under the bed. 

Our current king size bed takes up a lot of our floor space. We'll be reducing this is to a double and gaining space under the bed. That should help me clear the floor space a little more. 

Keep tuned for further updates!
