Marbled Spring Table

Is it too early to be planning my marbled spring table?! I think not and with some sunny days in my kitchen I have been creating some new styles and tablescapes. After the berry reds and forest greens of Christmas I’m enjoying bright colours, pretty glassware and florals…both on the […]

Snails On The Wallpaper?!

The final room reveal of the new house is this special little maroon bathroom which is a wonderful mix of reds and browns; dark wood, brass and painted joinery. This is the bathroom that the girls use so I wanted it to be a bit more playful.Not only that but […]

Pretty In Pink

You might slightly recognise this pretty in pink bedroom. I created a rather similar version in our old home in the countryside, and seeing as we only ended up living there one year, I wasn’t ready to part with the decor (especially that scalloped headboard!) just yet. So I adapted […]

Corduroy Curtains…Would You?

The Primary Bathroom

Tartan Table

A tartan table is a little variation on the traditional red and green tables that are the go to for Christmas decorating. I often use tartan ribbon on the tree at Christmas but I decided to incorporate it into my decorating for this tartan table, by using a length of […]

A Little Design Challenge

The little downstairs loo – is always a design challenge because it’s tiny – but also a place to have some fun with bold colours and prints. It’s the room all your guests will see eventually, so why not make it stand out? This space was initially even smaller. When we […]
