A year ago today. I've been reminiscing about the 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. . . . . . #isolationchronicles #isolationcreation #thehappynow #lovecornwall #kernowfornia #fistral #beachlife #seaacape #cornwall #kernow #whpwanderlust #cornwallcoast #songofseasons #cornwalllife #cornwallbeach #whpseasonal #divine_worldplaces #inspirationirl #theheartofslowliving #livemoremagic #likeapainting #beautyyouseek #thiswildingsoul #talesofthemoment #homeishere #ofwhimsicalmoments #noticepausetreasure #countrysidewalks #coastalwalks #ihavethisthingflowers
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. . . . . . #howihome #interiorboom #cornerofmyhome #woodpile #howivintage #ercol #housebeautiful #habitandhome #marieclairemaison #livingetc #neutraldecor #gardenroom #embracingtheseasons #interior123 #interior4u #interiør #interiørmagasinet #interior_and_decor #scandiinterior #scandinaviandesign #nordiclifestyle #earthinspiredhome #kinfolkliving #kinfolkhome #realhomesofinstagram #myhometoinspire #daybed #vintageinteriors #woodfloors #howihome

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 ♡ . . . . . #howihome #interior123 #interior4u #interiordetails #nordicliving #kitchenstyle #kitchenshelfie #interior #myhomevibe #myhyggehome #marieclairemaison #kinfolkliving #earthinspiredhome #howivintage #interiorboom #cornerofmyhome #kitcheninspo #vintagefurniture #housebeautiful #habitandhome #apartmenttherapy #vintageinteriors #scandinavianstyle #mycuratedaesthetic #kitchenvibes #homedecor #neutraldecor #houseenvy #kinfolkhome #mynordicroom
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. . . . . . #howihome #interiorismo #sorealhomes #inmydomaine #myinteriormydecor #ownyourdecor #stopandstaredecor #livingroominspo #howwedwell #housebeautiful #habitandhome #marieclairemaison #livingetc #neutraldecor #farrowandball #ovalroomblue #livingroom #scandinavianstyle #mycuratedaesthetic #interior123 #interior4u #interiør #interiørmagasinet #interior_and_decor #scandiinterior #interiorboom #housebeautiful #kinfolkliving #kinfolkhome #interiorinspo
Slow Sunshiney Sundays are my favourite and exactl Slow Sunshiney Sundays are my favourite and exactly what was needed at the end of a full on week. I hope you've all had a good half term? I stole the lightshade from our bedroom to try out in the kitchen (I can't remember where it was from, sorry) and hung one of my favourite prints from my shop, "I am coming Back". The lovely teapot is by the wonderful @claejosieswift and those beautiful blooms are fresh from my garden. . . . . . #housebeautiful #howihome #interior123 #interior4u #interiordetails #nordicliving #kitchenstyle #kitchentable #howihome #interiorismo #sorealhomes #inmydomaine #myinteriormydecor #ownyourdecor #stopandstaredecor #myhyggehome #scandinavianstyle #mitthem #tablesituation #howivintage #interiorboom #myhomevibe #interior_and_decor #livingetc #kinfolkliving #kinfolkhome #mynordicroom #finelittleday #swedishstyle #kitchenvibes #kitchendesign
It's been a bit of a week to say the least and I'm It's been a bit of a week to say the least and I'm very relieved to be spending the day here, slowing things right down, tending to my plant babies and letting all the stress float away. I'm going to write a blog post about the plants we have in the garden soon, I'm very much an amateur gardener, I make it up as I go along, but I get asked about it a lot and would love to encourage those of you who don't have the confidence to just go for it. My garden is a very healing place for me, it helps me to look after myself. If you have any requests for things to include, let me know.

I had a lovely day at the shop today, I decided I I had a lovely day at the shop today, I decided I would before I even left the house this morning and perhaps I willed it into reality. I met some people who have followed along with me here for many years and they had some very kind things to say about the journey I've taken from sharing pretty pictures of my home, to the blog, then on from that to opening the @aliceinscandilandshop It was an unexpected little boost, so thank you to those people, I hope you enjoyed the rest of the afternoon x . . . . . #howihome #cornerofmyhome #interior123 #interior4u #neutraldecor #howivintage #apartmentdecor #apartmenttherapy #vintageinteriors #engineeredoak #woodfloors #scandinavianstyle #mitthem #nordicstyle #nordiclifestyle #scandiinterior #myhomevibe #myhyggehome #thehonestlens #momentsthatmatter #livingspace #interior_and_decor #interiormilk #housebeautiful #danishstyle #pursuepretty #interiores #wonderfuleveryday #lonnyliving #interiorismo

The past year has been so hard for many of us, for The past year has been so hard for many of us, for lots of different reasons. Some big, some small, but all of them valid. We each have faced personal and professional challenges, but for me, amongst the overall feeling of fatigue, concern for what my business will look like on the other side, how my children will cope with so much upheaval and change, came some of the most memorable and special moments and days of my life. On this day last year, in very different weather conditions to what we have experienced today (☔🌬🌧) the girls and I spent the most magical time together, up on the moors and wild swimming in our undies in a forest river. Nancy, then 8, captured this moment of sheer joy between Eula and I and I will treasure this image and the memory for the rest of my life. . . . . . #wildswimming #lovecornwall #outdoorswimmingsociety #cornersofmyworld #thehappynow #thehonestlens #riverswimming #childhoodunplugged #getoutdoors #kindleandglow #beautyundermynose #hashtagauthentic #momentsthatmatter #momentsofmine #childhoodmemories #wildchildhood #acupofview #aquietstyle #tinyuniverse #moodcollectors #thesongofmountains #calmchronicles #wondermore #embracingtheseasons #seasonalliving #mybeautifulstories #thatspringmagic #awakethelight #wildswimminguk #wildswimmingcornwall
On Mondays I'm home alone and it's a real treat, s On Mondays I'm home alone and it's a real treat, so I'm never that sad when the weekend ends anymore. I work from the sofa, potter, pop out to the garden, work some more, all in my pyjamas. Tomorrow however, I am determined to work my way through the piles of life that are filling every room and begin a long overdue spring clean. My reward will be a meal out in the evening, sat INSIDE an actual restaurant and getting to hang out with @stovesincoves I can't wait! 🍾🍹 Anyone else an eager beaver with the reopening of inside seating in restaurants and cafes? . . . . . #howihome #interior123 #interior4u #interiordetails #nordicliving #scandinavianhome #cornerofmyhome #interiorboom #housebeautiful #habitandhome #apartmenttherapy #marieclairemaison #cornerofmyhome #thehappynow #mycuratedaesthetic #conservatory #gardenroom #embracingtheseasons #cornwall #lovecornwall #isolationchronicles #thiswildingsoul #gardenrooms #insideoutsideliving #gardenroom #livingetc #neutraldecor #houseenvy #kinfolkhome #interiorinspo #earthinspiredhome #finelittleday
Have you made holiday plans for this year? Or are Have you made holiday plans for this year? Or are you just going with the flow and seeing what happens? I kind of forgot it would be an option to go anywhere else if I'm honest and missed the boat a bit in terms of out of county adventures and decent accommodation. I think we will be seeking out the small, lesser known places here in Cornwall (are there any left?!), hoping to avoid the huge migration which will properly get underway come Monday. What I do know is I am going to be very intentional with having some proper time off work this year, to slow down and enjoy what is on our doorstep. . . . . . #embracingtheseasons #lockdownlife #alfrescoliving #lovecornwall #cornwall #beachlife #visitcornwall #interior123 #fermliving #beachstyle #momentsthatmatter #isolationchronicles #myhyggehome #lonnyliving #myhomevibe #alfrescostyle #beachsetup #childrensinterior #cornerofmyhome #thehappynow #mycuratedaesthetic #momentsthatmattertome #songofseasons #divine_worldplaces #inspirationirl #bokeh_artistic #livemoremagic #loveourbigkids #noticewonderconnect #quietinthewild
The garden had a very good drink this weekend and The garden had a very good drink this weekend and everything seems that much fuller and greener as a result. I'm looking forward to the back fence, on the top deck, getting clad in Cedar shingles soon, a job that was supposed to be done last Autumn. This said, I've intentionally slowed everything down these past few months, letting go of self imposed deadlines and the urgency of having things done now. I definitely lack patience, but accepting and understanding that I have too much going on and can't be everything for everyone has been very good for me. I've become much kinder to myself, hugely reducing my expectations and am going with the flow. There is so much to be done in the house, but it can wait until the time is right, I'm in it for the long run after all. . . . . . #howihome #gardenstyle #gardendeck #amateurgardener #interiorismo #haypalissade #gardenstyling #cornerofmyhome #myhomevibe #myhyggehome #marieclairemaison #housebeautiful #houseandgarden #alfrescoliving #lovecornwall #earthinspiredhome #embracingtheseasons #gardenersworld #gardensofinstagram #gardenvibe #gardenrooms #interior123 #interiorboom #livingetc #lonnyliving #mitthem #interiørmagasinet #homesweethome #gardendesign #decking
Birthday celebrations in our house today and when Birthday celebrations in our house today and when I say celebrations I mean cake and that's about it. My husband isn't one for a big fuss and requested that nothing happened at all, but I kindly explained that it's not actually about him, the rest of us want birthday cake and we'll blummin well have it too! The recipe is an adaption of my Beetroot Brownies, you can find it over on the blog, it's been shared there a few times, in one form or another. Layers of fresh whipped cream and Biscoff Spread (crunchy) can never be wrong. Cake Dish and Beeswax Celebration Candles are from the @aliceinscandilandshop That's breakfast, lunch and dinner sorted for tomorrow then. . . . . . #cakesofinstagram #amateurbaker #howihome #onthetable #foodstories #myhyggehome #cakespiration #biscoff #howihome #interiorismo #sorealhomes #inmydomaine #myinteriormydecor #myhomevibe #cornerofmyhome #cakedecorating #thehappynow #momentsthatmatter #birthdaycake #chocolatecake #cosyliving #homestyle #mitthem #interiør #interiørmagasinet #interiordetails #mycuratedaesthetic #tablesituation #tablescapes #chocolatecake

It's alfresco garden dinning with my parents and both brothers this evening and I can't wait. It feels like a forever since I last saw my big brother, but with the forecast looking more than a bit ominous, I'm hoping this is what the majority of my weekend is going to look like.

BLOG - After an unintentional 4 month hiatus I've BLOG - After an unintentional 4 month hiatus I've pushed through the imposter syndrome and written a blog post about our recent Mud Kitchen creation. Would you believe this cost us a grand total of £0! I'm so pleased with how this lasted addition to the garden has turned out, Nancy and Eula absolutely love it and it only adds to the look of this corner, which is always a bonus when it comes to children related "stuff", don't you think? Head to my blog to read lots more about it, find the link in my bio or stories and I'd love to hear what you think.

I enjoyed some quiet moments at home on my own tod I enjoyed some quiet moments at home on my own today, with the beautiful light flooding in, a little scented candle filling the space and Hazel the cat to keep me company. What a joy to have the doors open all day, allowing me to easily potter inside and out. Whilst we're here, haven't our dust sheet curtains stood the test of time well? It's almost 4 years since I made these £10 drapes and I love them as much now as I did then. I've added a link to the blog I wrote about them at the top of my page. Look at the way the light filters through softly, a perfect, neutral way to dress this divide between two rooms. . . . . . #sunshineyday #slowliving #howihome #cornerofmyhome #mitthem #thehappynow #interiorstyling #interior123 #interior4u #myhyggehome #myhomevibe #livingroominspo #howwedwell #housebeautiful #habitandhome #marieclairemaison #livingetc #neutraldecor #houseenvy #kinfolkhome #mynordicroom #interiormilk #eclecticinteriors #stopandstaredecor #nordicstyle #glassextension #gardenroom #embracingtheseasons #earthinspiredhome #livingroom
