Turning Memories into Art: The Beauty of Custom Paint by Numbers

AD | sponsored post in collaboration with Figured Art I’ve loved painting for as long as I could hold a paintbrush and know first hand not only the therapeutic benefits

The Affordable Art Fair: Inspiring Our Homes

One thing I was very pleased to hear when we moved into our rented flat was the go ahead to hammer nails into the wall, not a given when you don’t own your home. I had been so sad not to have the option in my previous rented homes, always lamenting the limitations on personalising the walls and…

Post-holiday Blues Made Better With Leesa

When someone says ‘holiday’, what’s the next word that pops into your mind? I bet that more often than not that word is ‘rest’. We work hard for our holidays and start holiday countdowns, eagerly awaiting time away from the day to day hustle and bustle of life. Rest may look like sitting by a…

London Design Festival: Top Picks

chandelier | vase | nesting tables | blue velvet chair | scissors Hi folks! You may well have headed to the many events spread all over the capital for London Design Festival yourself. I only managed two days and it left me full to the brim with inspiration and totally exhausted all at the same time. I took on the Shoreditch Design…

Behind The Screen:

It’s time for another Behind The Screen post and as promised it’s the second part to my commentary on photography. You can have a good old read of my first post about taking photos and in this one I’ll share with you how I edit them. Along with lighting it’s probably one of the things I…

Crazy For Colour

cushion | 2017 calendar | pendant lights | blue art print | fruit rug | necklace | phone case | grid art print  I’m usually very monochrome in my style and have been getting increasingly so over the last year. I keep on pulling more and more colour out of my home and wardrobe and…

Copenhagen Trip Part 3

Finally the third part of our Copenhagen trip is up! Boy oh boy did it take a while to plough through all the photos I took. So far I’ve shown you where we stayed and shared the first part of our trip, bringing you up to the evening on day three.

30 Minute Terrarium

I think my DIY projects might be getting easier and easier folks!…or maybe I’m getting lazier and lazier? Even so, that means it’s much more tempting for you guys to have a go. This one takes all of about half an hour but looks the part, I’m sure you’ll agree. It’s so little work you…

Bathroom Restyle With Habitat

Bathrooms are often neglected spaces. I don’t know about you but it’s usually the last place I give any attention in my home. As you’ll see below my bathroom was pretty bleak, particularly that very sad looking plant loitering in the corner! I recently decided to show my bathroom some love with the help of…

Styling The Seasons: August

I can’t believe it’s the last day of August already and that also means I’ve done another whole year of Styling the Seasons! It seems that even marking each month by styling and capturing images, doesn’t slow the months down at all.

Copenhagen Trip part 2

As promised, here is part 2 of our trip to Copenhagen and as you will have sussed by the end of the post, my camera was glued to me during all light hours (of which there are a lot in Danish Summers). This city was magical and as I said previously, everything oozes style, even their…
