A's been at it again with the watercolours creating a purple and yellow Spring bouquet, can you spot the different flowers? ...
Happy Easter! Hope you're having a wonderful day with your loved ones eating a tonne of chocolate and chilling out. A and I are currently having a bit of a movie marathon and on Friday we headed out to enjoy the Kent countryside (post on Tuesday!) To celebrate my love of mini eggs I created the above illustration, it's sad to think another...
I'm loving my #Friyay challenge, creating a new spin on my love of the word is proving to be super fun. This week I've gone for primary style bright stripes. Have a great Easter! L x ...
Happy second day of Spring! To celebrate the start of longer days than nights, warm days and balmy nights and buds that are about to burst into bloom A pulled out her watercolours to create a Cherry Blossom Illustration. ...
We interrupt our usual scheduling for a DIY update... Having spent years dreaming of a Carrie Bradshaw wardrobe (sigh) the progress on our current project is super exciting. The transformation from dingy old airing cupboard to walk in closet is almost complete, so I thought I'd give you an update. Here's the space at the start, a big cupboard with really high ceilings...
Happy Friday... or Friyay! A neon sign felt appropriate for the start of the weekend. L x ...
With a lot of ideas collected it was time to get down to the nitty gritty - out with the tape measure, paper and pen. Once the basic concept was decided upon we drew it out and then started measuring. The final idea was for 6 shelves for shoes, three large long shelves that would go across the back wall at the top...
Scrolling through Pinterest it's impossible not to notice trends and yesterday I couldn't help but notice the abundance of white wedding flowers. To me this seems like such a shame, they blend in with wedding dresses rather than adding a splash of colour. After searching around I found that tropical wedding bouquets are filled with bright vivid flowers, adding a sense of joy...
How are we on the tenth Sunday Summary already?! This weekend we've been busy painting my wardrobe, which will be unveiled soon, tidying up the garden ready for planting and heading out for walks across the fields. The latter being Monty's favourite, as you can see below. While scrolling through my YouTube subscriptions earlier in the week I came across a Waitrose video...
Weirdly one of my favourite words of the 21st Century is Friyay, thank you Instagram. I guess it's a combination of two of my favourite things, Friday and the word "yay", plus who doesn't love a good pun? So in tribute to my love of this Instgram trend I'm going to be posting a different design of the word each... Friday. Here are...
Transforming an old airing room into a wardrobe is exciting but can also feel a little daunting, so being a 21st Century woman what did I do? Turn to Pinterest of course (images linked below)! Compared to American walk in wardrobes I have a very small footprint, in fact mine is more of a walk in and reverse back out, so I wanted...
When he gets really hot, whilst out walking, Monty likes nothing better than to jump into some water. A small stream, a water butt, even a muddy puddle will do. The problem with this is Monty has a tendency to shake, whilst still wet, when he arrives home. The shake starts at the top of his head, his ears swinging, and goes all...
It was such fun playing with watercolours to create a wedding bouquet, I thought I would have a go at another one. What do you think? I love flowers. All the colours are terrific and when they have a perfume that just makes them perfect. Spring has felt like it is on the way the last few days, with daffodils, crocuses (or croci)...
So today is Mother's Day here in the UK and to celebrate we had breakfast in bed followed by a very chilled day at home. When you've got a dog breakfast in bed becomes a real treat but even still we were up and out walking at 9am. It's crazy to think how many Mother's Day's we have celebrated, twenty-four in case you were...
While I was at uni I became a bit of a beauty and skincare junkie which basically translated to me buying and trying a lot of makeup/skincare. Now a couple of years on it's rarer that I splurge on beauty products but as I love to try new items it's rare I re-buy products. One of the exceptions to this rule is the...
Our previous house was a renovation project; stuck in the 70s it felt dated and old fashioned. In the sitting room swirls of Artex covered the ceiling, along with roses around old light fittings that were no longer there, wood chip paper on every wall, a stained carpet and a brick "construction" across one end of the room with gas fire centre piece....
