I removed the coffee machine from my spare room as I think it put guests off from making themselves a drink as they weren’t familiar with it’s machinations replacing it with a small kettle instead.
I really,really want to give the bedroom a bohemian feel, but until I replace the blind for curtains and perhaps add some more colour/pattern behind the bed I am struggling to achieve the look I crave. It’s all a little bit too neat and tidy and white at the moment. I plan to ask Marc for inspiration next time he stays and then see where I go from there.
However, I did find this small Italian dish/planter for just £1.50 in the Salvation Army Shop in Evesham, it was filthy when I got it home but it scrubbed up well and in some small way has helped me think about the more colourful, random look I want to achieve.
The large mug was from Tesco, the pink lidded jar from Home Bargains ……. Now the question now is …….. dare I take my Sharpie pens to the kettle or, if I am not that brave, should I consider applying some sort of transfer to brighten it up and make it look that bit different? Hmmmmmmm.

To dress up your pot, maybe you could add a vinyl pattern cut with your Silhouette or Cricut (I forget which one you have). I love seeing your decorating efforts. You have a natural talent for it.
I would leave the kettle as is because if it fails within its warranty, and you've decorated it, you might not be able to get it repaired/replaced.
I vote for the Sharpies! I know you will come up with some beautiful floral design. Looking forward to seeing what you do!!
