Small highlights in the day, breaking up the monot Small highlights in the day, breaking up the monotony of it all, mean all the more just now, wouldn't you agree? A cup of tea and cake in the garden with this pair cleared the air, shortly after a bit of a blow up and helped us to all refocus. We discussed how much we love the colours of the log pile, what creatures were probably living in there and I realised we could see the low Winter sun, in the corner of the garden, which previously was obstructed by the old shed at this time of the year. We would probably have festered in our moods for the rest of the day had the scene not been changed at just the right time. . . . . . #howihome #myhomevibe #decking #gardenstyle #wintergarden #gardendeck #houseandhome #gardenstyling #woodstore #logstore #shedstyle #myhyggehome #cosyliving #alfrescoliving #isolationchronicles #isolationcreation #embracingtheseasons #earthinspiredhome #gardendesign #gardenvibe #gardenrooms #indooroutdoorliving #nordicstyle #mitthem #interiørmagasinet #houseandgarden #housebeautiful #cornerofmyhome #momentsthatmatter #haypalissade
Over on my stories today I've been sharing my hous Over on my stories today I've been sharing my house reality with you - when you spend a good part of your life styling images and using your "props" spur of the moment most days, it can all end up taking over. Several years ago we decided to stay in our home (which is smaller than I imagined settling for long term) and make what we have work for us. But on a serious budget that takes time and our storage (and the kitchen) really don't answer our needs long term, though my husband Stu doesn't feels as strongly about this as I do. Anyone else have a partner who is the make do and muddle one, when you're the one who is always striving to find the setup that answers all your wishes?! Painful isn't it. I've been trying to "declutter" for months now, but the reality is, as bad as it looks to me, on the surface, it's our storage which needs addressing. I've been trying to get rid, but in doing so I'm pretending the Stylist part of my life is not important. Anyway, here's a cosy Coffee Corner and if you need a healthy dose of Lockdown, children home 24/7, working from home, not achieving a good balance reality, then head to my stories. [The majority of accessories in this shot were from the @aliceinscandilandshop at one time or another ♡] . . . . . #howihome #interiorismo #sorealhomes #inmydomaine #myinteriormydecor #sagecoffeemachine #myhyggehome #myhomestyle #cornerofmyhome #houseandhome #kitchenstyle #nordicliving #scandinavianhome #mynordicroom #interiorinspo #kitchendesign #interiormilk #earthinspiredhome #lonnyliving #scandiinterior #interiorboom #coffeemachine #coffeestation #myhyggehome #cosyliving #interiorstyling #housebeautiful #habitandhome #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison

Sunday started to spiral downhill and I decided a Sunday started to spiral downhill and I decided a little self-care was in order.

Quite the week, hey?! First I was fine, accepting, Quite the week, hey?! First I was fine, accepting, pragmatic, then without warning I really wasn't. But I have done little things amongst the work struggle, tiny little things that have given me some sense of control, like tidied a drawer, a cupboard, sorted through outgrown clothes, baked, lit candles and walked on the beach. And little by little I've caught myself up and I now feel a little more at peace. Oh and wine. There has been wine. . . . . . #interior123 #howihome #myhyggehome #homestyling #howivintage #livingroom #momentsthatmatter #mitthem #isolationchronicles #bycandlelight #cosyliving #cornerofmyhome #thehappynow #mycuratedaesthetic #mynordicroom #scandinavianhome #abmhome #ekbbhome #sodomino #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison #sorealhomes #houseandhome #housebeautiful #habitandhome #isolationcreation #hashtagauthentic #liveauthentic #livethelittlethings #interior_design
First day back to work work, the email auto reply First day back to work work, the email auto reply is turned off, lists were written, good intentions set. Then my mind began to wander and I spent far too long thinking about how I want to finish the back fence/ deck area in the garden. Then I began dreaming about warmer times, drinks here (without needing thermals and duvets) with lanterns and nibbles and well, safe to say I haven't been as productive as first planned. The girls have run wild. I hope Monday has been bearable for you? . . . . . #howihome #myhomevibe #decking #gardenstyle #wintergarden #gardendeck #houseandhome #gardenstyling #woodstore #logstore #shedstyle #myhyggehome #cosyliving #alfrescoliving #isolationchronicles #isolationcreation #embracingtheseasons #earthinspiredhome #gardendesign #gardenvibe #gardenrooms #indooroutdoorliving #nordicstyle #mitthem #interiørmagasinet #houseandgarden #housebeautiful #cornerofmyhome #momentsthatmatter #workfromhomelife
Revelling in that wonderful feeling of new found s Revelling in that wonderful feeling of new found space, when the Christmas Tree is banished to the garden and the floor has had a good sweep. We're going to keep our tree out on the deck for a while and decorate it with wildlife friendly things, like woven Willow stars, bird seed cookies + toilet roll feeders. We'll make a start with our December subscription box from the wonderful @littlenaturalistsclub and look out for inspiration on our walks. The girls love a crafty project and it will be wonderful to give the tree a further use, before it gets chopped up and heats our evenings on the fire. I'm determined to embrace these coming months and enrich them with little, easy enjoyable activities ♡ . . . . . #myhomevibe #howihome #interiorismo #sorealhomes #inmydomaine #myinteriormydecor #ownyourdecor #scandinaviandesign #houseenvy #howivintage #interiorboom #conservatory #houseandhome #houseextension #gardenroom #winterhouse #myhyggehome #cosyliving #ercol #apartmentdecor #apartmenttherapy #earthinspiredhome #interiør #mitthem #ourkidslivehere #cornersofmyhome #myhometoinspire #sharemystyleliving #isolationchronicles #isolationcreation
New Years 2020 looks exactly like any other year f New Years 2020 looks exactly like any other year for me if I'm honest, just with a heck of a lot more emotionally exhausting baggage. Good riddance to the last 366 days, collectively they sucked, though, if I break it down, admittedly there were little moments and memories I will treasure forever. Positives to be taken from a big fat negative. I dont make New Years resolutions, the coming months for me are about embracing the darkness, cosying up, turning inwards and focusing on home, pressure on myself to change something, to "improve myself" always leads to worsening mental health and a negative beginning. It's much better to focus on the things that make you happy ♥︎ Lots of love to you and thank you for your support and interest this past year. . . . . . #myhomevibe #howihome #interiorismo #sorealhomes #cornerofmyhome #myhyggehome #cosyliving #interiorstyling #housebeautiful #habitandhome #apartmenttherapy #woodburner #howivintage #interiorboom #interiør #midcenturymodern #interiørmagasinet #interior_and_decor #scandiinterior #mynordicroom #interiorinspo #interiorstyling #interieur #inmydomaine #nordicliving #scandinavianstyle #ourkidslivehere #ovalroomblue #farrowandball #retroregram

Things certainly aren't how we would have planned Things certainly aren't how we would have planned them for this Christmas time, but after such a hard year of chopping and changing, constantly having to adapt to new rules and regulations, the impact of this on the shop and how much harder I've had to work at that. The many more hours it has taken me away from home, to finally have the time to bake sausage rolls in our pyjamas, to rewatch films together in front of the fire, to enjoy our warm and welcoming home (with a small smattering of minor disagreements - I like to keep things realistic here!) I'm definitely feeling grateful for the inbetween days. . . . . . #interior123 #interior4u #interiør #interiørmagasinet #interior_and_decor #scandiinterior #scandinaviandesign #kidsroom #kidsroominspiration #interiorboom #nordicstyle #nordiclifestyle #kidsspace #myhyggehome #cosyliving #interiorstyling #housebeautiful #habitandhome #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison #cornerofmyhome #thehappynow #momentsthatmatter #hashtagauthentic #liveauthentic #livethelittlethings #interior_design #childrensinteriordesign #artinspo #nordicroom

I'm afraid it's a Christmas Eve photo repeat from times gone by tonight, featuring the stockings I decorated for the girls. Nancy and Eula are absolutely off their faces with excitement.

Cosy little corners. I'm hardly at home at the mom Cosy little corners. I'm hardly at home at the moment and the girls definitely miss me having the time to just "be". I'm always doing one thing, with my mind on 45 other equally urgent tasks. But they understand why and I never feel guilty about it. I work hard, they see that, they see where it gets us and I try to make the free moments count for even more. I'm definitely looking forward to the in-between days though. I could actually happily pass on Christmas Day itself (controversialI know!), it's the ones where you stop counting down, stop noticing the date, you eat leftovers after cold beach walks or stay in pyjamas the entire day and perhaps have a tipple or 2 before it's even midday! That's what I'm looking forward to.

Amongst the other things I did today - tried to t Amongst the other things I did today - tried to tidy, again, tried to sort out all the shit for impending Brexit (failed), put the lights on the tree in readiness for the girls to come home from school (they snapped in half in my hand and needed soldering), tried to not cry over a massive technical issue to do with my shop, which may well cost me a lot of money, keep promises I'd made to the girls about baking and decorating the tree, I also managed to get this corner looking like a room again, rather than some kind of storage facility. If I could go back in time I'd have left the living room well alone until the new year, but when I began pulling it apart I couldn't have known where the endless months would take me and quite how many plates I would be trying to keep spinning all at once. It's safe to say I've smashed a few along the way. But despite some ideas not working out for this space and certain compromises being made for the sake of my sanity, it does feel as though I'll like where this room ends up, when I have more time to concentrate on it. . . . . . #livingroom #howihome #interior4u #cornerofmyhome #homestyle #sofainspo #housebeautiful #habitandhome #homewares #mitthem #nordicstyle #nordiclifestyle #scandiinterior #mynordicroom #interiorinspo #interiorstyling #myhomevibe #apartmenttherapy #interier #interior123 #interior #ovalroomblue #farrowandball #myhyggehome #cosyliving #livingroominspo #howwedwell #interiorismo #sorealhomes #inmydomaine
Christmas has arrived! I'm not going to lie, still Christmas has arrived! I'm not going to lie, still feeling like I'm slightly faking it, but perhaps there's a little trickle of festive faffery entering my bloodstream and it'll be full speed ahead in no time.

We're finally getting a tree tomorrow, much to Nan We're finally getting a tree tomorrow, much to Nancy + Eula's delight. I'll let you in on a little secret though, I've actually already chosen and paid for it, last week, when I had a rare spare moment. So when I take the girls to "choose" I really hope their own assessment of form, good branch distribution, ample layer gaps (for free hanging decorations) and a nice, healthy trunk matches my much agonised efforts and that they settle on the one we already own. I couldn't risk all the good ones being gone! 🌲🌲 Here's a cosy little scene from last year. . . . . . #myhomevibe #howihome #interior123 #interior4u #homestyle #mitthem #interiør #interiørmagasinet #interiordetails #mycuratedaesthetic #mynordicroom #scandinavianhome #abmhome #ekbbhome #sodomino #apartmenttherapy #realhomesofinstagram #christmastree #christmasstyle #boxingday #livingroom #livingroomstyle #mynordicroom #scandinavianstyle #interior_and_living #finelittleday #howivintage #woodburner #cosyliving #myhyggehome #cornerofmyhome
