If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll already know that we are quite partial to a lovely book in our house and recently I have been adding to our collection. Sadly I haven’t read a book for myself in quite some time, I’m just completely unable to concentrate, as my mind soon diverts to…

This is Six.
An absolutely huge thank you to Ali Green for using her wonderful, creative skills to reduce my to-do list. The cake was absolute heaven and you really must go show Ali some love, she is an incredible food/ lifestyle photographer with the knack for capturing a moment in time and the mood perfectly.
A weekend in Copenhagen – Hay House.
I can’t believe it was 4 weekends ago that I was in Copenhagen and I haven’t written a word about it here! Though, to be fair to myself, the 1 year anniversary of the Alice in Scandiland Shop, then flying to Denmark the next day, walking about 100 miles that weekend, straight home and into…
An Instagram Guide to Copenhagen.
It’s suddenly dawned on me that I am off to Copenhagen next weekend and I have definitely not given it the attention this little trip deserves. The Summer brings with it the children being off school and the Alice in Scandiland Shop getting even busier, so my thoughts and energy have been spent juggling those…
Going a little Greener – Picnicking.
Life has been such a busy juggling act these last months, with everyone having to make compromises along the way, especially the children. I definitely haven’t been around as much as they or I would like, but I try not to feel guilty, they know it won’t be forever, it’s just that right now I’m…
The shop that Alice built.
Technically that title is misleading, it should read “The shop that Alice’s Dad tirelessly gave all his time and energy to Alice to build for her, rarely arguing and eye rolling her many overly detailed, overly ambitious plans and time frames”. But I thought that was a little less catchy, so I’ll stick with the…
Nancy’s Bedroom Do-Over – The Inspiration.
I’ve suddenly realised that I have started Nancy’s room revamp, but, beyond the stories I have shared over on Instagram, I haven’t shown you a proper breakdown of my plan. Perhaps this is because I rarely have a full plan in place, but I’ll share my inspiration with you, to give an idea of where…
IKEA IVAR – storage solutions for a box room.
Eula’s room has had many setups over the last few years, I’m forever in search of “the one”, which will make the small space work best for us. In the past I have favoured vintage cupboards, for their character and the ease at which you can change them up with a lick of paint. But…
Maison et Objet 2019 – Inspiration.
I’ve had a whirlwind few days with 24 hours in Paris to attend Maison et Objet, a trade show dedicated to all things lifestyle, decoration and design. It was amazing and exhausting and completely overwhelming, so I’ve been going back through all the photos I took, reabsorbing everything that caught my eye. Obviously I was…
New Year Imposter Syndrome.
I’ve got New Year stage fright when it comes to my blog, again. Every so often my ability to write here flies away and suddenly I’m faced with the feeling that surely what I have to say can’t be that interesting and is it all a bit silly, this blog lark? Those of us that…
