"One of the alcoves in our bedroom is now my 'Vintage Tat' corner. I collect so many bits and bobs at car boot sales and markets that it's an ever-evolving display. My boyfriend Rob says the 'creepy' shoe lasts look as though they might start tap dancing at midnight, but on the whole he's very tolerant of my junk. The shelves are just the LACK ones from Ikea which are cheap and very strong if you fix them to the wall with massive screws. The Singer sewing machine was £5 in a car boot sale, I bought my lovely typewriter for £1 on eBay (it was listed as 'not working' but has always typed perfectly and the vintage camera was in a box of stuff I picked up at an auction. I keep all my favourite books on these shelves too. My bedroom is my sanctuary - especially at the moment as we're re-decorating and renovating the downstairs rooms so this is my refuge from the dust and chaos. There is nothing better than reading the papers in bed on Sunday morning with Radio Four, a cup of peppermint tea and a cat or two hanging out. Wow, I really am a party animal!".
Next week: come and see Joanna's bedroom corner in Poland who literally spoiled me with a lot of gorgeous images
