We’ll be walking through the front door here later today as it’s our last day in beautiful Crete.... We will then only be walking through this hallway for another 3 days as Thursday is moving day.... It may seem strange but I think it’s only just hit me that it’s actually happening! It’s been so lovely being away for a week relaxing not thinking about packing and moving and architects plans and builders and I wish we had another week here as it honestly has been so needed and so relaxing.... But hey in a few hours the packing will recommence and at least we’ll have lots of chocolate to keep us going! God help Jim if he hasn’t bought me an Easter egg this year 😳 hahaha .... Hope you’ve all been having a great Easter weekend xx . . . . . . #stopandstaredecor #entrancehall #hallwaydecor #hallwayinspo #welcomehome #ihavethisthingwithtiles #paintedbrick #atmine #myinterior #mynordicroom #deliciousdarkdecor #designdecor #myhome2inspire #weeklyinteriorinspo #homesofinstagram #myinteriorstyletoday #nesttoimpress #plantgang
Inevitably whilst on holiday I’ve had time to gather inspo for the new house.... For me bathrooms are the hardest rooms to make final decisions on so I need all the help I can get! This beauty which is in the home of the fabulous @thisstyle_rocks ticks lots of boxes for our downstairs shower room which is the first room I’m going to be tackling when we move in as it’s the only room in the house that is not changing either shape or use... And we need a working shower! (We’ll all be showering at the gym for the first few weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️).... A crittall style shower door is a must..... We’ll be adding five new sets of doors to the house, four of which will be crittall effect so why not have the shower door to match too eh! 😆 . Would love you to let me know your favourite bathroom inspo accounts and hope you all have a fab Easter weekend X . . : . . . #homesofinstagram #industrialstyle #apartmenttherapy #showerroom #ensuite #interiorinspo #sassyhomestyle #stopandstaredecor #bathroomdecor #bathroomremodel #myhomevibe #styleithappy #showerdesign
Morning from Crete..... It’s beautiful here but unfortunately the weather is not! It’s ok though we can fill the time indoors chatting, eating and drinking whilst the thunderstorms are here.... Also it’s our wedding anniversary today, 14 years, I’ve been so busy that for the first time ever I don’t have a present or even a card for Jim today... I bought a card but forgot and left it at home 🤦🏼‍♀️ .... I’ve already told him and said let’s celebrate after the move, my brain is ready to explode so he forgives me but I still feel awful 😢 .... Mind you, does he need cards and presents to know how much I love and respect him? I hope not! And anyway he gets to spend the day with me so I can tell him....and nag him! Hahaha .... Just been looking through our wedding photos as I do every year, blimey I wish I still looked like that! Now that would be better than a card eh 😳🤣 xx . . Hope you all have a fab week xx . . . . #kitchenremodel #kitchensofinstagram #cornerofmyhome #weeklyinteriorinspo #myhyggehome #mynordicroom #homeinspiration #myinterior #kitchenideas #exposedbrick #bluekitchen #renovationproject #myhometoinspire #instakitchen #homesofinstagram #myinteriorstyletoday #apartmenttherapy #rustickitchen #industrialstyle
My 14 year old got back from a week in NYC this morning so everything is well in my world again :) .... We are off to Crete for a week tomorrow, the first time all 5 of us have been together for more than two days since Christmas! I refuse to think about packing or the fact we’re moving 2 days after we get back whilst we’re there and am so looking forward to a relaxing week all together, it is much needed I can tell you! . . In other news I really want a living plant wall in the new house once the works are done.... I couldn’t have a home without plants, apart from helping health wise by cleaning the air they really lift my mood :) . . . . . #plantgang #jungalow #plantsofinstagram #velvetsofa #wallpaperdecor #skylight #sassyhomestyle #therealhouseplantsofinstagram #hangingplants #myinterior #scandinavianstyle #currentdesignsituation #apartmenttherapy #homesofinstagram #interiorwarrior #openplanliving #plantsmakepeoplehappy #myinteriorstyletoday #nesttoimpress #postitandsmile
Ok I need your help!! .... It’s been a helluva week, I’ve not been well, I’m knackered, I haven’t seen Jim all week as he’s been away with work and he’s back tonight, I still have loads of packing to do before Sunday, I’ve got to take Liberty to Brighton later and won’t be home until gone 7.... BUT.... I’m supposed to be going out on a girls night tonight which was organised ages ago, and I’ve really been looking forward to it, but I know I shouldn’t really go for all the reasons above.... So in the words of The Clash ‘should I stay or should I go?’ . . . Oh and for clarity this pic was taken a while ago before the house resembled a tip and I resembled sting of the dump! 😉 . . . . . #bluewalls #hagueblue #fabhome #interior4inspo #nesttoimpress #bestofinterior #sittingroom #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #myhome2inspire #weeklyinteriorinspo #myhyggehome #currentdesignsituation #instahome #designdecor #greysofa #apartmenttherapy #interiorwarrior #homesofinstagram
EVerything feels better when the sun is shining..... I think I’m definitely going to have bifolds off the kitchen/diner again at the new house.... The architect is there tomorrow measuring up and I’ve given him my plans so hopefully we should get the drawings within the next few weeks :) .... I’m going to pop the latest packing situation on stories- It’s carnage here but I want to get it mostly done before we go on holiday next Monday.... The kitchen, sitting room and 1 bedroom I’m having to leave until the day before the move though as I need those rooms without boxes in them for our friends who are house sitting.... Maybe they’ll feel@sorry for me and do a bit of packing 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 . . I’m off out to dinner with Liberty later as it’s just the two of us at home this eve.... I may well be having a mid week drink!

INSTA REALITY...... . . Packing is in full swing, I’m sick of it already, I wish I wasn’t a control freak, I’m yet to start on the teenagers rooms.... That was the gist of the long, and might I say amusing, original post that insta decided it wouldn’t post for me this morning! 😬🤣 . . In other news my eldest came home from Uni yesterday so I have all 3 of my kids back together which makes my heart happy 😊 .... My middle daughter is off to NYC on Monday on a school trip, I’m so excited for her, lucky thing! We’re off on a shopping trip this afternoon to get ‘essentials’ I can’t wait I haven’t shopped with both my girls since Christmas.... I’ve no doubt the boy will, unsurprisingly, stay at home attached to the Xbox though! . Hope you all have a fab weekend!

THINGS I’M GOING TO MISS..... . . I’ll miss the exposed brick wall and beams here... though I’m sure it won’t take me long to get the brick chisel out in the new house 🙌🏼 . . .... I’m off to my middle daughter’s school gcse dance show this eve for the third night in a row.... Yep I’m a proper ‘dance mom’ .... I realised yesterday I’ve been taking my daughters to dance lessons for over 16 years now as my eldest started ballet at 3.... It’s given them and me so much joy, though neither of them are continuing it after gcse so I probably have another year of watching my daughter dance, so I’m making the most of it.., at least I know they can bust the moves in the clubs though eh 🤣🤣..... I’m pretty sure too if I added up the cost I could have a Ferrari on the drive but there we go 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . {velvet chair previously gifted by @sofadotcom } . . . #exposedbrick #mirrormirror #sassyhomestyle #oakflooring #atmine #interiormilk #myinterior #rusticdecor #modernrustic #velvetchair #currentview #postitandsmile #myhyggehome #hyggelig #fabhome #mymdm

I have always had a thing about exposed brick in the home, that whole NYC loft vibe really gets the juices flowing, if you know what I mean!If I had to describe my dream home, an old original feature brick wall would be right at the top of the list.

This is Beths first home, she bought her new build townhouse in Newcastle in 2015. As it was a new build it was a blank canvas and Beth set about putting her own stamp on it and showing off her own style and personality.....

I do love a string of lights in my home, I love the interest they can add to a corner and the way they add bit of bling and brighten up any area of a room, here's how I use them in my home.....

We all see beautiful items in magazines, on Pinterest and on Instagram that we would love to have in our own homes.... So i thought I'd ask what some of my favourite fellow Bloggers would wish for this Christmas

Dark blue walls....... What's not to love!

Dark blue walls? yes please! I think using blue on the walls of our homes had a bad rep for far too long, and now thankfully they've returned in the last five years or so, but in much deeper, richer colours. 

Stars..... They're not just for Christmas!

It's the time of year where stars are everywhere, but, just like puppies they're not just for Christmas...... Ahhh I love a 'Star' in my home, no I'm not talking anyone famous ( Though I wouldn't say no to Aiden Turner popping by )

Hello and welcome to my blog!  For my first post....... The message is in the title- Why has it taken me so long to get this blog started? And why is it not as easy as it looks to just sit down and get on and do it?.......
