Home Furniture with Argos

This is the last instalment in my Argos posts. They have been really good to work with and we really appreciate getting some products to help style our new home.

My final piece of furniture from Argos is the Sienna 2 Door and 3 Drawer Sideboard in Oak Effect. It features chrome handles and feet.

The sideboard is a bit smaller than I imagined but it fits in the space perfectly. It’s 117cm long, 65.5cm high and 39cm deep. It was quite easy to put together, although it did take two of us, and looks very contemporary.

One of the best things about the Sienna sideboard and other products in the Sienna range is that they are affordable. This only costs £149.99 plus you can get free delivery from the Argos website. We are always looking for ways to furnish our home without spending a fortune and this sideboard fits the bill but doesn’t look like a cheap piece of furniture.

It looks a bit bare at the moment but it’s in our dining area where I plan to have a red theme. I’m going to buy some pictures to go above and some ornaments to put on the sideboard. I’ve already found some things I like on the Argos website…Graham & Brown Red Flower Arc Wall Art

Inspire Set of 3 Brown Wood Heart Tea Light Holders

Inspire Large and Small Elephant Ornaments - Set of 2

I can definitely feel a shopping spree coming on! I will be posting pictures of the completed looks on this website and on Pinterest as and when we do up the house so keep an eye out for those.

You can see this post on the Argos Pinterest board along with other Blogger’s posts showing how they have styled their home with Argos.

*I was given a budget to spend on Argos home products in return for reviews and pictures for the Argos Pinterest board*

Lola My Bestest Friend Rag Doll

Lola My Bestest Friend Rag Doll

Miss B is a bit of a Charlie and Lola fan, so she was pleased to see the Lola My Bestest Friend Rag Doll in our last BBC Shop parcel.

The Lola doll wears a floral dress and has red shoes and bows in her hair (Miss B’s favourite colour). She’s a lovely, well made doll that’s perfect for any Lola fan. We just wish there was a Charlie doll to go with her!

I think Lola is definitely becoming B’s bestest friend, as you can see…

Miss B is also cuddling her other Lola that we had with a dvd from BBC Shop.

You can buy Lola My Bestest Friend Rag Doll for £14.99.

Deadly 60 Top Trumps

Deadly 60 Top Trumps

BBC Shop sent us some Deadly 60 Top Trumps to try. Little S adopted these as his straight away.

Top Trumps can be played by 2 or more people. All the cards get dealt to the players, and the first player reads out a score from their card. The others read the same score and whoever has the highest wins the cards and has the next turn. The winner is the person with all the cards at the end.

This is a really simple game but fun to play. You can learn about lots of the animals featured on CBBC’s Deadly 60, like where they come from and how deadly they are (did you know there’s a meat eating Ghost Bat complete with Dracula-like fangs?!). The cards come in a handy plastic case so you can take them anywhere with you. I think this will definitely be our first Top Trumps pack of many.

You can buy the Deadly 60 Top Trumps for £3.99.
