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…

The importance of scent in interiors.
There are many ways to approach designing a space, but for me it’s about a feeling. Whether it’s a piece of furniture that excites me, setting me onto a path of inspiration, a colour or certain accessory, scent is as vital as all these other elements. A room should be an experience that goes far…
Big Shop News.
Things have been a little quiet round here I know, almost 4 weeks since I last posted, but life has entered a whole new level of busy and there hasn’t been enough room in my head for intelligible blog banter. In case you haven’t heard, I’m opening a shop in Lostwithiel. This life changing decision…
Simple things, beautiful natural wax candles.
I’ve lost my sharing mojo of late and as such have neglected to write here for a while, I blame the changing season and the energy it seems to take to adjust. In theory I love Autumn, once upon a time I may have even stated that it was my favourite time of the year,…
Interior Fantasies.
If you had a beautiful, large, empty house and the freedom to create what ever you wanted, what do you think you’d come up with? I had a dream last night that I owned a French Chateau (no doubt brought on by watching Escape to the Chateau, which I totally love, does anyone else watch it?) Most…
Friend feature: 1930s Vintage meets modern house tour.
A fair while ago I featured my lovely friend Rachel’s Victorian home on the blog and the renovations they had undertaken so far, it was supposedly the start of a more frequent feature, where I would share with you the homes of my friends, some in the real world, but also those I have come…
Instagram Giveaway
Hey there lovelies, a quick heads up, over on my Instagram I’ve just posted about my beautiful collaborative Giveaway with the wonderful Hilda Carr. You may have already seen some of her work in my home, she made my two favourite mugs (a third beauty is in the making and on it’s way to me soon as I…
Why all white? My reasons for *almost* all white walls.
One of my lovely followers messaged me last week to ask about my house and my decision to have an all white background. She was interested in my reasons for our doing this, the things I have learned as a result of living with a white interior for a few years now. I thought these…
Scandinavian inspired Kitchen update.
This post has been a long time coming, but as ever life just runs away with me and I never seem to find the right time to take ‘finished’ photos. So I’m going to use a mixture of snaps from here and there, to take you through the story of our kitchen. Grab a cuppa,…
For the greater good.
I’m on a mission to reduce our ‘stuff’ again, and that means saying goodbye to pieces I love, but rarely use. The initial decisions can be hard, but I find more often than not I don’t miss those things once they’re gone. Naturally the holidays has led to the house being quite chaotic, the expected…
Mollie Makes Feature.
It’s been a bit of a crappy week this one, but I don’t want to go into that. Instead here’s a little bit of yay me-ness! I just made that a word, ok! Those that follow me on Facebook and Instagram may have seen me mention that the rather fabulous Mollie Makes asked me to feature in their magazine, actually I…
Maisons Du Monde Junior edit.
It’s rather lovely when a brand you already love and shop with gets in contact, even more so if they want to collaborate, so when Maisons Du Monde asked me to create an edit for their new Junior collection I was very happy indeed. I have chosen pieces that I love and would want in my own…
