See that fern at the back there? Would you believe me if I told you it is almost as old as I am? I remember my mother getting it when I was a little girl (I think she sent off for it as a freebie from a magazine or something). Every time I go home to visit her I comment on how remarkable it is that she has looked after it for so long. Apparently she has an aspidistra given to her by the old lady who used to live next door to my grandmother which is even older, but that’s another story. Anyway I asked if I could have a cutting and she gave it to me! So now I just have to keep it alive for the next few decades... no pressure there then. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #familyheirloom
[AD - paid partnership with @habitatuk ] Our house has three bedrooms but they are all fairly modestly sized and finding ways of storing and organising everything we own is an ongoing challenge. We all basically have too much stuff don’t we? The difficulty I have with storage is that it often encroaches upon the floor space, so you actually end up with a room that feels smaller. We desperately needed more storage in the office, but at the same time I wanted the space to feel light, airy and open. Over on the blog today I’m sharing how I tackled the situation and partnering with Habitat to reveal 5 style hacks for small spaces that really work.
We’ve had the loveliest Sunday. A lazy lunch at @_thehighfield and then a visit to @neptunehomeofficial for some interiors inspiration. The builders have made really good progress on the extension over the past couple of weeks and it won’t be too long before we can start thinking about the internal fit out. We don’t have room for an en suite sadly, but if we did this is pretty much what I’d want it to look like.
[Ad] When we first moved into this house there was so much to do that it definitely didn’t feel like home at first. Over the past few months we’ve ripped out, removed and peeled away layers of the old and gradually replaced them with the new, and bit by bit it’s finally starting to feel more like a place we can call our own. The one thing that’s made it feel like home more than anything else we’ve done though is installing our @aradastoves woodburner. It’s provided a focal point, created a sense of welcome and just somehow really given the house a heart. If you’re thinking of fitting a wood burning stove I’ve put together a step by step guide to everything you need to know over on the blog today. There are also some new pictures of our living room so I’d love for you to pop over and take a look.
What a grey, wet and gloomy day! Definitely not the best conditions for interiors photography but at least the evenings are starting to get a little lighter. I’ve spent the afternoon here tidying and rearranging the office to make room for a new piece of furniture we are having delivered tomorrow. Outside I can here the builders packing up for the day before the wave of snow that’s predicted this evening arrives. Stay warm and cosy everyone. ❄️
[Ad] I went to view some patio doors for our extension this afternoon, in between making lots of cups of tea for the builders who have been working amazingly hard in this arctic weather. We woke up to a thin layer of snow this morning and it’s been freezing all day so I’m happily spending the evening here. Our stove is by @aradastoves and if you fancy cosying up around one yourself you could win a similar model in a competition they are currently running (be quick though - it ends today). Head over to @aradastoves for details.
It’s Day 4 of our extension build and today the guys dug out the trenches ready for the concrete to be poured for the foundations. It’s like a battle scene out there tonight so here’s a view of our bedroom instead. And if you’re wondering just how bad it really is I’ll try to hop on Stories in the morning to share a quick update. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #designhunterrenovations
Those ears are probably the only clue this picture gives to what is actually going on here today. In a word it’s pretty noisy. It’s Day 3 of our extension build and the digger has just arrived so the guys are starting work on the foundations. Meanwhile I have a scaffold tower outside my window and they are drilling the old pebbledash off the brickwork in preparation for the rendering. Things are moving pretty quickly at the moment and there are so many decisions to make. We definitely made the right choice with that @wearewoodpecker flooring though. Love it!
