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

Styling The Seasons – October

I realise harvest comes in September but I’ve felt as if October has been a month that’s consistently come back to the idea of harvest. You lay your foundations way before, sewing before you even see what it will produce and there’s an excitement in the idea of harvesting all the good stuff. Your initial efforts haven’t been in vain,…

Behind the screen

It’s been longer than I intended since the last ‘Behind The Screen’ post so I apologise. Ironically this one of all so far should be have been the quickest and easiest to write as I’ve already spoken on this stuff at two events. It’s also something I feel really strongly about and constantly sigh as…

Brush stroke storage boxes

I’m all about storage, big and small, wide and skinny, I don’t mind aslong as it hides clutter in a pretty way. I’m forever shoving things away in boxes and corners of our cupboards, so much so I don’t often remember where anything is, much to my husbands disgrace. ‘Where’s that form I left on…

Get creative with a Lifestyle Wall

A couple of weeks ago I got a little peek, along with some other lovely bloggers at a sparkly new product from British Gysum’s Rooms Made For You. The Lifestyle Wall was introduced to us by Channel 4’s George Clarke as ‘a total interiors game changer’ and so I was obviously left with high expectations,…

something for your screen

Wow, it’s that time of the month again! Time for some more free desktop wallpapers and this month I’ve kept it simple with my trusty watercolours and a limited colour palette. Both sets of text seem particularly relevant to me at the moment. Summer was definitely a time of learning to say ‘no’. When you start out…

Let me introduce you to these mini mountain photo holders, possibly the cutest way to display your postcards and pictures…possibly. What do you think? Head over to Sugar & Cloth…

Styling the seasons: September

Here we are moving into the second year of Styling The Seasons and it will be really interesting to compare last year’s month on month styling with this year’s. Having spent last year getting a bit nostalgic and basing the styling on my experience of what I associate each month with based on the past, this year I want…

bring nature inside

Pernille Folcarelli You may have noticed that I bang on about the seasons here in my little corner of the internet. It’s actually not at all intentional but it’s funny to look back and see what I consistently take note of and I seem to love what each new season brings but at the same…

Voyage Wallpaper Challenge

I’m Hi folks! I’m really excited to reveal my DIY as part of the Voyage wallpaper challenge. Let me introduce you to Voyage and their ultra gorgeous range of patterned wall art, hand painted and digitally printed on non-woven paper.I fell particularly hard for their new ‘Iridescence’ collection in the Voyage Studio Line range in all its dreamy…

a perfect dessert

I’ve made this dessert a fair few times recently and absolutely loved it!! It feels really rich and decadent without being filled to the brim with refined sugar, cream and butter and the hint of coconut gives it a freshness I can’t get enough of. To top it off it’s really easy to make. I know I…
