moody bathroom update

    It wasn’t that long ago that I tackled this bathroom but here I am coming back for round 2!

colour inspiration

Geometric pattern / lavender photo / mauve hair / lavender macarons / lavender lemonade / patterned cups It seems I’ve had a bit if an aversion to lilac ever since my all matching wallpaper border and bed spread at 13 years old. It became pretty sickly after a while! Having said that it’s been growing on me lately and I’m especially loving these dusky lavender tones that…

old, new, borrowed & blue

After months of planning, mood boards, sourcing, designing, painting and making, the Eley wedding finally arrived and I was very happy to find out Sarah and Ben had hired our wedding photographer! I knew without a doubt she would take lots of beautifully, dreamy photographs and it was a bit of a bonus/ deja vu…

to the happy couple

It’s suddenly got very wedding focused around here! This wedding was probably my biggest project of the year. The lovely couple came to meet with me to talk wedding stationery and by the end of our time together I’d signed up for styling and making the decor. This was something I’d been itching to do…

Time flies…

Today we woke up to our 2nd Anniversary! Another year has flown by and I know I’m ‘meant’ to say this but it genuinely has been even better than the first. God dealt us a bit of a game changer and sent us down a very different path together but I’m very happy he did.…

cardboard cities

I totally fell hard for this artist’s beautiful collages. Meet Laura Redburn and her vivid imagination. She’s the talented designer behind Cardboardcities. Her dream-like mixed media illustrations beg to be delved into but just like a dream, they never quite make sense. That’s the fun of them! Visit her portfolio here or her society 6…

so that was august…

As you may have read I’ve recently returned from the sunny climes of Turkey. Having a break for two weeks reminded me how necessary it is to have a decent amount of time away.  One week doesn’t really do the trick if I’m wanting to relax fully, forget about to do lists and rediscover my…

sometimes you gotta

There came a day on my hols when it had just been too long since I’d picked up a pencil. To medicate this unhappy situation I decided to spend the morning having a creative mess around. I very lazily decided to draw what was in front of me, which happened to be all my shoes…

stay green

Hello! I’m back from the Turkish sun and boy was it amazing. Last night I was left dreaming about fresh fish and mountain views but hey ho, back to drizzly London it is. This post is late out as lovely Lauren over at Aspiring Kennedy has already posted the recipe but I’m sure my frustratingly…

Photo reworked from Bonjour Tristesse I’m off on my hols to Turkey and I’m so excited I feel like a kid again. I haven’t actually been abroad since our honeymoon two years ago so I’m really looking forward to some sun, sea and plentiful mezzes. Things will be pretty quiet here at The Lovely Drawer…
