Warm hugs tonight as it's so cold all day today. But yesterday we had a bunch of friends over for dinner and chat and it was lovely catching up and enjoying the cosy red dining room. More mad ramblings on my stories today btw hopefully will be nearly finished with the top bedroom soon and can show you all. Omg it's Halloween... I've not done a single thing for it! How lame am i?!?!

Good afternoon everyone! Just a quick snap of the fading light down here. Got a tagine slow cooking in the oven so the whole house smells wonderful untill you get the hint of VOS coming from the paint job upstairs!! Eep I'm afraid the house will catch fire if I light a candle! Anyway @britishbakeoff final tonight! So excited!!!

What a beautiful day and I spent part of it painting the upstairs bedroom wardrobes. Have a look on my stories for more ramblings of a mad man. We have guests over for dinner tomorrow so... Do you think it will be done in time? Can anyone send help? Good luck charms? Magic?

Hallway boom! So happy with the way this hall has turned out! You can just about see the 6ft long Japanese map up there. It's just waiting the carpet to arrive from JL and the small issue of refitting a brand new front door replica.... Anyway so glad am off tomorrow... Big plans afoot.... Can you guess? Btw my previous post spontaneously deleted itself!! 💔Which is why I'm posting again sorry 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

Hello out there?! My engagement seems to have flatlined so if you are out there and can see me.. let me know as there might be an embargo on my posts. Here's a photo from earlier on today cos let's face it.. it's too dark for photos at this time of day. I've been back at it in the front garden with more digging and planting... Hopefully the plants will enjoy it there and grow happily. 🌳🌲🌱🌷🌴🌺🌸💮💐🌻🌼

About last night.... Yesterday was interesting, without prior planning or intention I started pulling up the blockwork at the front garden to create planting space for a new much needed hedge I've gone for variety and colour and despite the plants being only little I have big ambitions for them. After a mini break for a delicious luncheon with an old pal and a few more hours of digging and planting (to much enjoyment of the school kids passing by) it was all finished. I'll show you on my stories in a bit. The evening ended by opening a bottle of Maltese Cheval Franc and planning our honeymoon... Can you guess where we are going?

The weather has turned... So tbt yesterday when I had a lovely 10k run down the canal such beautiful colours this time of year

Loving the light through these windows at this time of year.

Morning from sunny Manchester! I did a good thing yesterday, while all the scaffolding is up I took the opportunity to deep clean the windows from the outside @mrshinchhome_x_ would have been proud.... But I did do it at dusk so today will be the proof of the pudding.

Obsessed with the interiors of this place! If you are ever in the area.. pop in

Lovely day for a jaunt. Love the colours in nature this time of year!

Morning y'all!! Sorry I've been on hiatus, combination of being on holiday and losing my phone charger meant no photos or insta for a a while. Sometimes it's quite good to not have a phone on you for a while and just be. Now we're back in blighty and as you can see the light is so different to Malta and that is one of the things I miss so much about that island, the light. Hope you are having a peaceful Sunday xx

Getting remote and lost like ..

These cliffs! Such a stunning views were a perfect post lunch walk about with some gelato (not needed but so so yummy)

Not a bad view for lunch

T E X T U R E The Maltese sandstone facing the sea gets eaten away slowly by the spray and wind over time to form these amazing rock sculptures. Intricate work mama nature

Guess where I am! I've escaped the storm on blighty for a bit of sunshine! Ttfn

Blood red to make your passions flow. I adore designing and making spaces feel unique bespoke and personal. Our dining room definitely is this for me. I painted these walls, I hand upholstered those chairs. I hung each piece of glass in the chandelier, I hacked those IKEA shelves to fit our alcoves. But this wouldnt be possible without the support and encouragement from my OH. Thank you for always encouraging me to follow my passions and live a fulfilled life.

Morning from blustery Cheshire. I've got all the feels for plonking down on this sofa and sipping coffee all morning. Anyone else find the lower light intensity really affecting your energy levels? I'm gonna force myself to go to the gym to give myself a bit of a boost today!

via Instagram

Isn't this ceiling really beautiful? This is the warehouse of a lovely timber yard who were super help at helping me sort out my broken finial from my roof. They don't have an Instagram but if you need their help just pop by their showroom. #notanad

Morning I've definitely got the lurgy! Am sat shivering under the duvet sipping hot lemon and honey with more cold and flu tablets! Send chicken soup and tissues. I believe a b&w photo works well with my noir illness 🤒 And yes I'm aware that manflu kills millions every year .. I'm as pathetic as the rest of them!

via Instagram

I know I must be crazy right two posts in 1 day!! I decided to get my sorry arse off the sofa and go for a power walk in this gorgeous day down to @ntdunhammassey and the village around it. So beautiful seeing the leaves turn colours and all the berries out. Now am sat on my porch with a brew and soaking up the sun ☕

via Instagram

Current view! I'm sick! And just want someone to being me hot soup! So am sat here on the sofa drugging up with cold and flu medicine hoping I'll feel better later. Such a lovely day I wanted to go for a run! I guess I'll just watch the leaves falling to the ground from inside.

Life is a bitch... As am I when working nights as I'm moody as ...! Sleeping now... Wake me for food or cuddles Love this pic from @theladyisalamp

Good afternoon from the hallway! It's strange taking a photo in this room cos I can barely hide but here's my hand sticking out on the right. Anyway that's the gallery wall which I love full of family photos and art. I've had a total couch potato day as I've not been feeling too well and am working tonight and this weekend. Blarhh Anyway lemon and honey all the way ☕

via Instagram

I'm obsessed with the details in our Persian rug. It's vintage and a classic in design. Look at all those colours and patterns 😍😍😍

via Instagram

A different shot in the dining room today. I adore how this colour from @farrowandball has such richness and depth❣️❣️❣️. It it's quite a big room and north facing so I wanted it to be dramatic and warm. Nothing gets warmer than the steamy Rectory red on these walls. This table has hosted many an empassioned discussion fuelled with copious wine🍷 and delicious dinners 🍝. It's so nice to have a proper dining space to entertain in, and with the mad medusa chandelier🧟 overhearing our every word...may we host many more yet!✌️

via Instagram

Aaaand relax. I'm actually totally craving a holiday right now! Been so busy with house, wedding and work stuff we haven't had a proper break in ages.. so I guess an evening with suds will have to do. Where in your home is your sanctuary?

Morning!!! So who noticed that Instagram went down this morning? Odd stuff isn't it? The first thing that came to mind was how will I speak to some of those lovely accounts ?!? I feel so privileged to have met some of you lovely lot and I have to thank Instagram for that. But if it were to go down again please remember I have a Facebook page, a blog (link in bio) and an email address where you can contact me. In the meantime I'm gonna be getting on with my day like a deranged ferret as usual. Tarah!
