The flooring for the living room has arrived! It’s not being fitted until the end of the month but I couldn’t resist laying a section out in the office. We’ve gone for Goodrich parquet in Feather Oak by @wearewoodpecker and I’m so pleased with how it looks. We also got the full set of drawings back from the architect this week for our kitchen extension, so now I just need to find a good builder who isn’t booked up for the next 12 months. Help!
We received some exciting news today - our planning application for the kitchen extension has been approved! 🙌🏻🍾 We’ll be working on the final drawings with the architect over the next few weeks and are hoping that building work will start after Christmas. Meanwhile most of downstairs already looks like a building site - I’ve scraped every inch of woodchip off those walls ready for them to be replastered. Yes, it looks pretty bad right now but there’s lots of work scheduled to take place next month so hopefully it won’t be too long before it all starts to come together. #designhunterrenovations
The festive season is definitely creeping up on us. I’m not the world’s most organised Christmas shopper, but I do love hosting friends and family so I can’t wait to organise a little housewarming party this December (here’s hoping we can get the living room finished in time). We always enjoy experimenting with different cocktail recipes and the best cocktails deserve to be served up in the most stylish glassware. These hi-ball glasses and whisky tumblers are from the Big Top collection by @nudeglass , who have just launched a collaboration with the amazing Iris Apfel. I love the ribbed effect and the round base feels really good in the hand - you just don’t want to let go of them. Now I’ve just got to decide which cocktails to fill them with. Always love a whisky sour. What are you having? #IrisApfelNude [ad]
Time to change over to the winter duvet... and an extra hour in bed tomorrow morning to enjoy it. . Bed (painted in @farrowandball Off Black) made by Mr P, duvet by @scoomssleep [gifted], linen curtains made by me.
We actually had a proper Sunday this weekend. A lie in, no visits to B&Q, Sunday lunch at one of our favourite pubs and even time to read the papers, which we hardly ever do any more. (Does anyone else still buy a Sunday paper?) It was the first time we have done no work on the house in what feels like months, well almost none - we did put a shelf up. Monday, I’m ready for you!
I’ve had a wave of new followers recently so I wanted to pop on to say hello and welcome. I’m Helen and I live in Leamington Spa with my husband Graham and our whippet Albert. We moved house earlier this year and are currently renovating a 1930s fixer upper, so that’s mostly what you’ll find me posting about here on Instagram at the moment. I also write about design and interiors over on my blog Design Hunter where I share my love of interiors that are honest and simple in their design and use of materials, and my belief that the objects we choose to live with should help create a home that is inviting, restful and a place of sanctuary. If I’m not obsessing about interiors you’ll probably find me on the tennis court or out on a whippet walk somewhere. . Thank you so much for joining me over here. I’d love to get to know you better Over to you... tell me something about yourself.
Sharing our renovation plans for the living room over on Stories today. Meanwhile we’re camping out here in the bedroom this evening because we currently have no furniture in the living room... apart from the sofa which we spent yesterday evening covering in shrink wrap. Things are about to get messy. #designhunterrenovations
Channelling all the autumnal vibes this month and loving the strong edge the @rado True Thinline Studs is adding to my dressed down everyday look. It was designed in collaboration with Bethan Gray and the brass studs and marquetry pattern on the dial echo details found in her furniture designs. It’s also Rado’s slimmest watch which means it feels incredibly light and comfortable to wear. #Rado #RadoStuds #DesignersCollection #Ad
