Now that we’re closer to settling into our new home, I’ve been looking at inspirational work spaces online to get an idea of the kind of space I’d like to create in our home office. I’m hoping for a productive environment, that prompts motivation and encourages creativity. I love fresh white space paired with touches of gold for a minimalist feel and I’ll also be adding some wall art and featuring…
Etsy Finds – Home Office
With our move to the USA quickly approaching, I’ve been spending more time thinking about setting up home there. One of the things I’m most excited about is finally having a home office. I’m already daydreaming about how it will look, thanks to all the pinning I’ve done on my dedicated Pinterest board. I’m currently lusting after fresh, white office spaces, with clean lines and pops of colour. It’s the little accessories…
Etsy Finds – Autumn Accessories
Autumn is one of my favourite seasons. With the nights becoming longer and the crisp chill in the air, it’s the perfect time for wrapping up in cosy knitwear, enjoying snuggles in front of the fire and indulging in sweet hot chocolate. But before I embrace all the comforts of Autumn, I thought I’d share some of my favourite picks from Etsy. Love You Too Cushion Covers – Chunky Knit Blanket – Baby Moccasins – Rose String Lights – Espresso Cup How incredible…
Loves Lately
1. I’m currently going through a phase of updating Henry’s nursery. Pinterest has been a source of endless inspiration for me and Etsy always has plenty of cute and unique nursery decor. The latest additions to Henry’s room are the Mint Chevron Blanket, Hello Sunshine Cushion and Cloud Cushion. I love the pop of colour the yellow and aqua give against the pale grey walls. 2. I received this beautiful vintage style bicycle from Matt…
Shabby to Chic – Upcycled Display Cabinet
I love to peruse eBay in search of local second hand furniture. When I stumbled upon this wooden display cabinet, complete with glass shelving and a spacious cupboard, I couldn’t resist bidding within the last few seconds of the auction, hoping for a bargain. Luckily, I was the highest bidder and became the proud owner for just £50. As with all my upcycling projects, I started with a coat of Annie…
Christmas Candles
There’s nothing more inviting on a cold winter’s eve than snuggling under a soft blanket, sipping a hot drink and lighting a scented candle. Although I already have quite a collection, there’s something special about saving a few seasonal candles for the festive period. Yankee have an array of enticing Christmas candles to choose from, but as I’m partial to all things sweet, my favourites for this time of year are Sugared Apple, Salted Caramel and…

It’s no secret I’m a fan of the anything shabby chic to create a country cottage look around the home. One of my favourite places to find an array of beautiful decorative accessories is Live Love Laugh. I’ve shopped with the company before so I was delighted when they contacted me to offer me some of their bestselling items. Stocked with pretty home accessories, soft furnishings and furniture, I could quite happily fill…
Shabby to Chic – Upcycled Nest of Tables
As a fan of upcycling second hand furniture, I’m always on the lookout for potential shabby chic transformations. I spotted this nest of tables in a charity shop for just £5 and I knew they’d look lovely with a coat of a paint. This was one of the more quick and simple upcycling projects I’ve completed – all it took was two coats of eggshell paint and cutting some Laura Ashly fabric for…

I also have a huge home decor haul to show you, although I’m contemplating filming it as…
What’s On My Bedside Table
I’ve seen the ‘what’s on my bedside table‘ post pop up a few times on beauty blogs I read so I thought I’d give you a little peek of mine. The bedroom is my haven, with all my favourite products residing on my bedside table, perfectly within reach when I’m curled up and encased in a heavenly feather and down duvet. My bedside table drawer houses a mass of lip balm,…
Shabby to Chic – Upcycled Vintage Telephone Table
My first instalment of ‘Shabby to Chic‘ which featured a few pieces of upcycled furniture had a positive response with lots of you saying you’d love to see more, so I’m happy to show my latest transformation – an old telephone table. I’m drawn to anything vintage, so when I spotted this on eBay, I knew it would be the perfect hallway piece. After a tense few moments of last minute bidding,…
Neom Inspiration Organic Reed Diffuser
I’ve recently been enjoying experimenting with the world of home fragrance, finally utilising all the scented candles I’d collected over the years but for some reason had never used (truth be told I think I bought them simply because they looked pretty). Although scented candles are lovely, they only release their fabulous fragrance when lit, which means they’re something of an evening only indulgence. But wanting our home to smell…
