I love browsing Pinterest and Instagram for nursery decor inspiration, even when I’m not pregnant, so once we found out I’m carrying a baby girl, I was even more excited to look through the hundreds of beautiful interiors and plan how I’d like our nursery to look. My vision is something whimsical and fresh – white and pink with touches of gold in the accessories. There are so many pretty…

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…
Henry's Grey & Yellow Nursery Tour
I’ve been meaning to feature Henry’s nursery tour on my blog for a while now, but somehow I never got round to taking the photos for it. Then suddenly I found myself having a slight panic at 4pm the afternoon before the removal men were due to pack up the contents of our house. I picked up my camera and started snapping – I wanted to capture Henry’s very first room before it…
Pastel Playroom Inspiration
One of the things I’ve most enjoyed planning in the lead up to our move is the playroom that Henry will have once we live in America. Pinterest has been an amazing source of inspiration for the design, and I know he will have so much fun in his special room. I love pastel colours so I’ll be going for pale grey walls and add pops of mint and yellow…

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…
Daisy & Bump Nursery Art
When I started picturing how I wanted the baby’s room to look, I began searching for nursery art to liven up the walls. A lot of what I found featured very bold and colourful graphic prints, whereas I wanted something softer and more whimsical. I then stumbled across the beautiful Daisy & Bump collection and instantly fell in love with the mix of pastel watercolour with 3D craft techniques to bring the characters to life. Each piece is hand-made by…

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…
