In the 10 years since I moved away from my parents' house, I have had approximately 16 changes of address. This is the beauty of renting in large cities with the global economy going like a rollercoaster.
After these 16 or so rounds of changing addresses, there's been countless pieces of home ware having gone missing or simply being thrown out due to lack of space and moves across Europe. After house move 8 or so, to a Hackney dump with a leaking roof and crazy flatmate with very little regards to personal space, I simply gave in and decided my flat inventory from then on would be purely IKEA.
Now however, after having stayed put in my previous flat for a whopping two years and being quite settled in my current flat - I've gone all domestic bliss and have actually started to purchase some relatively long lasting household items without any Hello Kitty patterns whatsoever on them.
There's a few essentials I've decided I needed and the crystal flutes have already been provided by my favourite bubble drinking buddy - the polka dot, smash safe, fake glass ones just didn't say 'class' anymore.
Another thing I need for my kitchen is numerous le Creuset pieces. They're cute and they make me feel like a grown up, even though I still maintain it's ridiculous to pay £100 pounds for the thing I'd mainly make instant noodles in. And occasionally conduct experiments with various blends of warm booze.
I started myself of with mini casserole pots. I like miniatures. Especially if it's miniature horses and pigs, but pots will do.
