Forgive me if I throw it back to a festive time go

Forgive me if I throw it back to a festive time gone by with this snap.
I've never considered myself a renovation account, work on the house has been spread out across many years and has felt more like a project here, a tweak or change there.
So to find myself with almost all corners of our home in some form of deconstructed limbo, at a time of the year when I like to share creative ideas, well, in the words of Dusty Springfield, I just don't know what to do with myself!
A short while back now the ceiling fell down above where Hazel sits here, a "simple" replastering job went a little awry, thanks to a previous owner's bodged repair.
Things kind of snowballed from there and now, with no tradespeople available to even come and quote, I wonder if I'll ever get back to a point where I'll have new ideas to show you again.

My first ever new bed 🙌🏻
It took a while to get here, sleeping on the floor for 7+ weeks meant last night I had vertigo being all the way up there, but oh my how I love it already.
I've basically thrown all my intended bedroom plans out of the needing to be replaced window (darker tones, a busy, folky floral wallpaper) and have decided to embrace the beautiful raw plaster. We'll,for now at least.
It's a relief to take the pressure off and drop of the decisions I was finding so difficult.
I don't even care about the fact I have no floor, skirting, the light is hanging by a dodgy bare wire, the wardrobe is nowhere near happening, no curtains, blown, old double glazed windows, no bedside lights...
It doesn't matter, because this corner is giving me all the comfy cosy feels.

Work in progress. Celebrating small steps forwar

Work in progress.

Celebrating small steps forward.
I may have got a bit carried away and what started out as simply getting a new, bigger sofa quickly escalated into what seems to be a full, unplanned, very messy house renovation!
All of the furniture here, along with the entire contents of this room, has either been on or right by the kitchen table for over a month, so, despite far from finished walls, no skirting, no wardrobe doors, no heater, no window coverings, outstanding electrical update jobs, not being able to get a Carpenter to commit to coming/ quoting and the question of can we afford the much needed new flooring throughout upstairs, we can now at least eat our dinner all sat in one place and Nancy can see that her room won't always been a shadow of it's former self.

Saying goodbye to the artex ceilings + coving will, in the long term, be totally worth it, in the short term, WHY CAN'T I JUST LEAVE THINGS ALONE?!

What's the Halloween equivalent of Scrooge? 👋🏻 👋🏻
October 31st has always been about my Mum's birthday, so there's far more excitement about cake than ghosts and pumpkins round these parts today.

A lot has happened in the house this week, it's absolute filthy chaos, don't be fooled by this smashed (twice) phone snap, which rose tints the reality.
Head to my stories for a 1 minute catch up.
I bought a new sofa, as my girls have all of a sudden become much bigger beings and we all needed the extra space, I can't tell you how over the moon with this decision I am. It's the IKEA Söderhamn, with @bemzdesign covers, finished off with some kindly gifted @prettypegs

Lots to do in here, including removing the coving and a full replaster, new paint colour....but for now I'm going to collapse right here.

Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂 My favourite season beg

Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂
My favourite season begins on my birthday, so I'm not mad about it at all.
I'm celebrating in my parent's garden and enjoying this beautiful evening.
The lockdown 1 tarpaulin cover is still going strong (give or take a few wind related repairs) and they've eaten their dinner outside almost every night since it went up.
I love this idea, alfresco dinners all year and want to instigate it at home, but unfortunately the rest of my immediate family aren't as immune to the cold and refuse to participate!

I'll let you in on a little secret, I kind of love the turning of these seasons, from Summer to Autumn.
Autumn is my comfy place, it's where I'm most at home, perhaps because I'm born smack bang on the Autumn Equinox?
The leaves of the Weeping Beech began to fall earlier than usual, but my Desdemona Rose is in it's 3rd, fragrant bloom. It's smell makes my heart beat a bit faster I'm so in love with it.
Happy little moments ♡

Leaving for work and told the girls I'd pay them handsomely if they made the house look like this.
They were eager, but Nancy (age 9) told me to have reasonable expectations 🤣
Happy Saturday everyone x

I've been feeling rather out of sorts the last 24h

I've been feeling rather out of sorts the last 24hrs or so, a bit adrift, panicky, anxious, then it dawned on me that I'd been staring at a screen for practically 2 whole days.
So I threw on my cossie, headed to the sea, dived in and stared out at the distant horizon, alone, floating and happy.
It was one of those sea swims where the water is coming at you from all directions, far from calm, but very grounding and beautifully wild.
I've not quite levelled out yet, it's scary what this tech can do to us, but it's a swim in the right direction.

A year ago today.
I've been reminiscing about the slower days from last year and am wishing I wrote more on the blog during that time, but I've lost my ability to write without over thinking it all. It's a shame but quite possibly a symptom of the burnt out feeling that makes a lot of things hazy at the moment, perhaps with time it will pass.
I remember this day, I'd worked until 3am, packing orders and was feeling a bit desperate, but then I took the girls off to deliver some things and it turned out to be the most beautiful, unexpected momentary escape.
Exactly what we had all needed.
We are so incredibly lucky to live in this glorious county.

Wood is the love language that flows throughout ou

Wood is the love language that flows throughout our home, inside and out.
My husband is forever chopping it to keep us warm, shaping it into entertaining things for the children, like swings, mud kitchens, little ride on wheeled creations.
Now there's a new addition to enjoy...

This outside corner of the extension is about the only part of my design that I slightly regret. I liked the idea of glass wrapping around, but in hindsight a view of the side of the fence ain't all that!
I had the idea of creating another wood store here a while back, because I do love a nicely stacked log and seeing the tones and textures from inside sounded like just the solution.
Yesterday Stu made my wood dreams come true and here you'll find our 4th log pile.
You can never have enough wood in my opinion, don't you agree?

For questions about the extension please visit my blog and look for "How to extend", it's all in there.

Gosh I've really loved today.
The girls are off camping with my parents and I was supposed to be working for much of it, but Stu and I got caught up cleaning and tidying and chatting and drinking hot drinks without interruption and on the surface there was nothing remarkable about any of it but at the same time it all just felt really good ♡

Hurrah for the sun - heads for the darkest corner

Hurrah for the sun - heads for the darkest corner of the house (clearly this ain't it).
Don't get me wrong, I like to know it's there, I'm over the moon for all you sun worshippers, but unless I'm in full holiday mode, iced drink in hand and zero parenting responsibilities (so that's basically never) this girl just can't handle it these days.
I haven't been in the sea for so long, an absolutely disgusting fact, considering my proximity to the beach and how much I love it, but I haven't been able to face the crowds.
I will remedy that this week.
