Alright you lovely lot! You asked for it! Here's another shot of me in the finished staircase, Edinburgh press and all! The newly fitted carpet by @johnlewisandpartners is like a dream and now it's down, I cant resist just sitting on it in random places! Due to the complex shape of our staircase and how busy the walls were with the art I opted for something pale and neutral, but high on texture to keep it interesting and let the beautiful shape of the stairs shine. Don't ask how many outfits I had to change, or how many snaps I had to take to get the one that is just right. Walls: great white by @farrowandball Carpet: Whitney linen pebble @johnlewisandpartners Lamp and most frames: @ikeauk

The devil is in the detail. We bought this vintage rug over some newer prices because of its fabulous Colour and design details. If you look closely it's an ever tightening ring of different borders each with their own pattern and colour combinations tying in together to create a stunning rug that has been handed down for generations to now lay on our dining room floor. Setting the stage for some great dinner parties! Always keep an eye on detail as well as the bigger picture π§

Am so all for drama! I'm revelling and keeping these fairy lights up! So sue me! The dark red of the @farrowandball (rectory red) and the bling in the fabulous @iconic_lights just adds to the drama in here. Now someone make me an espresso martini! πΈ #interiordesign #interiors #instadecor #interiorforall #instahome #housetour #interior4all #theworldofinteriors #interiordecoration #sorealhomes #eclecticinteriors #myspaceanddecor #walltowallstyle #interiorboom #nestandthrive #hyggeinteriors #beautifulhomesofinstagram #styleithappy #interior123 #colourmyhome #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorstyletoday #periodhome #myperiodhomestyle #myinteriorstyletoday #traditionalhome #howivintage #styleitdark #darkinteriors #deliciousdarkdecor

Lazy like Sunday Morning! So many people state how they wish they could go as bold with colours as we did, and the truth is, that the first time, it is nerve-wracking but as soon as I started slapping this paint its rich gorgeous depth enveloped me. People have preconceived notions on what a bold or dark room will look like or feel like. I say experiment, try it out.. and if you don't feel it, change it. It's just paint! ππ€π Paint: Devon green by @valsparpaintuk Sofas: @loafhome Cushions: @homesense_ukie Frames, baskets: @ikeauk @ikea_uk_pr_team Candle: @diptyque #interiordesign #interiors #instadecor #interiorforall #instahome #housetour #interior4all #theworldofinteriors #interiordecoration #sorealhomes #eclecticinteriors #myspaceanddecor #walltowallstyle #interiorboom #nestandthrive #hyggeinteriors #beautifulhomesofinstagram #styleithappy #interior123 #colourmyhome #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorstyletoday #periodhome #myperiodhomestyle #myinteriorstyletoday #traditionalhome #howivintage #styleitdark #darkinteriors #deliciousdarkdecor

Hello everyone! So the carpeting isn't finished so I don't have a shot of that for you! So instead have a look down here. This is such a fabulous view down the garden and it's lovely to sit here and watch the happy squirrel family living in the large sycamore at the end of the garden hop from one branch to the next, foraging for food. π

And so the first day of 2019 is coming to a close. I sit here snuggled under a blanket, exhausted and full to the brim! What an eventful year it has been! And is due to be again!! Loads of exciting changes and things afoot! I'll hang onto the glow from the tree a little longer, as much as I love the Christmas season I'm very very eager for spring this year! But all in its good time! XX hope you had a joyous new year's eve xx

Am thinking of using this bedroom neither the ensuite as a guest and commandeering the top bedroom! Need to buy a console table for between the beds and some art, of and fashion some head boards! Initially I was thinking of those fabric canopies draping over the beds but as we are more likely to have adults rather than kids stay over I think I'll hold off on that idea till our family multiplies.

Morning everyone. We're off on an adventure to Wiltshire! Who would have ever thought?! I'm hoping to catch up with #theclient and finalise some details on the renovation. In the meantime remember to relax and give yourself some breathing space at this hectic time of year, even if it's just one minute of shutting your eyes and taking 5-10 slow deep breaths. You will feel better for it the more you do it. π§πΌ♂️ Namaste ✌️

How stunning is this wreath? I spotted it when visiting my friend @katiesarahmarsden it's made by a local florist @chloerobinsondesigns based in @altymarket ...

Love our @loaf sofa in willow green snuggly wool. I need some fresh cushions so please send me some recommendations. Ideally a combination of cosy and stylish as this is our favourite snuggle spot. #interiordesign #interiors #instadecor #interiorforall #instahome #housetour #interior4all #theworldofinteriors #interiordecoration #sorealhomes #eclecticinteriors #myspaceanddecor #walltowallstyle #interiorboom #nestandthrive #hyggeinteriors #beautifulhomesofinstagram #styleithappy #interior123 #colourmyhome #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorstyletoday #periodhome #myperiodhomestyle #myinteriorstyletoday #traditionalhome #howivintage #styleitdark #darkinteriors #deliciousdarkdecor

_________Details__________ Here's the hallway which we wanted to have quite a neutral colour but also it must be warm as it's north east facing. This is how we chose great white by @farrowandball which has a warm tone and contrasts with the bright white ceiling and door frames. It's the perfect backdrop to the gallery wall and art collection. #interiordesign #interiors #instadecor #interiorforall #instahome #housetour #interior4all #theworldofinteriors #interiordecoration #sorealhomes #eclecticinteriors #myspaceanddecor #walltowallstyle #interiorboom #nestandthrive #hyggeinteriors #beautifulhomesofinstagram #styleithappy #interior123 #colourmyhome #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorstyletoday #periodhome #myperiodhomestyle #myinteriorstyletoday #traditionalhome #howivintage #styleitdark #darkinteriors #deliciousdarkdecor

Oh my dear it's cold!!! It's been raining all day! Literally sodden! Here's a little snap of our attic bedroom. I'm thinking we might commandeer this room when our current bedroom is finally getting it's makeover. The scheme is still being developed. My vision involves dark greens, white and brass, european hotel chic. My partner's vision is Japanese minimalist.

Evening y'all! I've got my @roseandgreyinteriors garland draped along this cupboard in the kitchen and breakfast area at the moment. I am always a. Bit stumped for decorations in the kitchen cos you don't really want any extra clutter and it's a relatively modern space! So I've got three wreaths hung on the bifolds and these little bit of sparkle. How do you decorate your kitchens for Christmas?
Sunday, 2 December 2018
Evening y'all hope all is well. What are you up to? Can you guess where I am? Not in front of this fireplace I'll let you know. It's like Everyone put their decorations up on December first cos all the streets are a glow, is this something that I've just been totally ignorant towards and only just realised and is totally common knowledge or is it just a coincidence? Anyway did you like the video I posted last week of my walk about in the chirstmassy living room? Shall I do more?

Evening y'all! Here's a shot of where I'd rather be cos I'm at work π₯ I love this rectory red by @farrowandball paired with the stunning lamp by @iconic_lights and a little bit of sparkle and glow in the garland over the dresser from @roseandgreyinteriors . Also have a look at my mad chandelier in the upper corner on the right (In love) Hope you have a great evening everyone xx #interiordesign #interiors #instadecor #interiorforall #instahome #housetour #interior4all #theworldofinteriors #interiordecoration #sorealhomes #eclecticinteriors #myspaceanddecor #walltowallstyle #interiorboom #nestandthrive #hyggeinteriors #beautifulhomesofinstagram #styleithappy #interior123 #colourmyhome #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorstyletoday #periodhome #myperiodhomestyle #myinteriorstyletoday #traditionalhome #howivintage #styleitdark #darkinteriors #deliciousdarkdecor

Good Day to you all! I'm so super excited to have passed the 3k followers! Thanks for joining in to my story folks! I love how Instagram has made me new friends here who are really inspiring and truly lovely. Welcome one and all ππ here is a shot of my feature fireplace in the bathroom where I have framed my grandmother's handmade crochet doilies and used them as art (cos who uses doilies now?!). Hope you are having a super Saturday. And happy thanks giving to y'all x

Last night I went to the launch of @tile_giant who are launching a collection of Victorian inspired tiles based on those in this GORGEOUS building @victoriabaths. The range is aimed at the affordable market so those of you hoping for a heritage tile but don't want to burst the bank then have a look at their collection, and a proportion of the profits go to the restoration fund of this stunning building which wants to remain open for the public, and would be a crying shame if not! Have a look at my stories for a sneak into the event last night!

Ooooh it's definitely edging closer to the darkest day! Look at this having to switch on lights in the middle of the day!!!! Madness! Any one else get really affected by the lack of light? Makes me want to light a fire and inject a bit of sparkle everywhere ... Speaking of which have you had a nosy at my stories where I create an epic garland for the front door? Go on I know you want to!
Tuesday, 20 November 2018
Hello!!!! My stories aren't posting! Which is a massive shame as I have something really exciting to share with you tomorrow!! Hope it's up and running tomorrow. Is anyone else having problems or is it just me!?! Anyhow here's me lounge! I need to lay here for a bit I think to chill out after quite a hectic weekend!

Don't even get me started on this radiator cover. We got it as didn't have the budget to get a beautiful cast iron radiator but these walls are being an absolute nightmare to drill through. Some of you lovely lot have sent me a bucket load of recommendations to try which I will get down to when I'm back up North. But in the mean time I've had a productive weekend meeting my new client and hashing out some plans for their home makeover. It's so satisfying when a plan comes together! Hope you have all had a lovely weekend! I've got something exciting coming up next week so keep tuned to my stories and feed!

Morning from the in-laws! Hope all is well I'm meeting with client to go scouting for an upcoming project. Here's a shot of the inside of our fabulous front door. The joiner wanted us to paint both inside and out the same colour and I thought it would be a great opportunity for a bit of colour pop inside! So say hello to yellow! π€©π€©π€©ππππ Sad story say that we still need to plaster around the door as the frame was set behind plaster but hopefully will get round to this next week .. eventually

According to IG this was the best liked photo on my grid. It's one of my favourite views in the house. It's nearly constantly changing, be it the books in the dining room or the cushions on the sofas and the latest change was all the architraves and doors being painted white. You can just about see the medusa chandelier from this angle in the dining room! What do you think folks is this still a fabulous view?
