I really think it’s going to be something very special...coming early 2020, I can’t wait to share it with you! ☺️ . . #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #interiorstyling #design #designinspiration #lbmdesignstudio #interiordesigner #colourlover #cornerofmyhome #colourmyhome #colourmyhome #interiordetails #inmydomaine #interiorismo #interior123 #fafffriday #interiordecor #housebeautiful #farrowandball #myhomevibe #interior4inspo #apartmenttherapy #sorealhomes #myhomeforhp #rockmystylishhome #interiorstyling #interiormilk #sodomino #interiorismo 📷 @butlermadden$

Who fancies something relaxing and rejuvenating and sunny to look forward to now the nights are drawing in?! I for one am craving warmth, soft sand, palm trees and balmy evenings. Even though Winter has only just started, it somehow feels like it’s been with us for months already!
.
I am so excited to have been invited to join the most wonderful retreat in Sri Lanka in February. A friend has the most beautiful house (that staircase!) there and is hosting a gorgeous seven day yoga and wellness retreat from 8th to 15th February and there are a few spaces left!

Happy Sunday morning ✨
.
I have a question for you all - whilst we are waiting to find and move into our new home and renovating the cottage, I am pretty low on new content for my feed. I have LOTS and LOTS of old images from previous homes and projects - are you happy to see those or shall I just quietly take a break until I have lots of lovely new material for you next year??
.
I will still pop up on stories when I have something interesting to say, but would hate to bore you with old images if that’s not of interest!
.
Would love to know your thoughts ☺️

How is this gorgeous little lady 18 months old? I feel like I blinked and here she is - no longer a baby, but a bright, bubbly little girl ✨
.
She brings us so much joy and laughter and we feel so unbelievably lucky to have her in our life. We get proper giggles together at least once a day and I’m so excited for all the giggles and adventures to come in the future. I love you my gorgeous little lady 🥰
.
Ps Please excuse the crazy, scraggy hairstyle - not only was this picture taken by @butlermadden but the hairstyling was also his! Photo taken on a daddy/daughter outing last week 😊️

Is there anything more uplifting than hydrangeas in a marble sink?
.
I have been very quiet for the last few weeks and will explain fully on stories later this morning. It’s been stressful and busy and to be honest we haven’t really known whether we’ve been coming or going.
.
Our house search/purchase (that has basically been going on since summer 2018) hit another stumbling block a few weeks ago. We managed to get over the issues raised by the survey in the end (after having to pull out as the vendor wouldn’t let us inspect the roof), but after that things seemed to be back on track.
.
We then packed our final things into storage and moved temporarily to stay with my gorgeous friend and talented artist @mousecazalet until we would get the keys to our new house on 25th November 😊
.
At point of exchange last week we found out that the house was uninsurable for flood risk - all very long and complicated, I will explain on stories later, as I want to warn you all to check this out earlier than we did!
.
Anyway, long story short we couldn’t proceed, so all our things are now in storage and we can’t access them until we have a house and can get everything delivered (!) and the cottage renovation is underway.
.
Patrick has been managing that like a trouper whilst I’ve been looking after Lily and speaking to solicitors and insurance brokers for the last week! Not very instagram friendly content which is why I’ve been quiet 🤫 It will however all work out how it’s meant to in the end! ✨

Today our last booking of the season will arrive in Menorca - we couldn’t have dreamed back in June when the renovation was finished and the photos finally ready that we would have managed to fill the summer and even still have people going over in October.
.
It’s thanks to you all for your wonderful support and so many of the bookings have come via this wonderful (most of the time!) app ✨
.
The reviews have been amazing and we couldn’t have asked for more. I also need to thank the wonderful teams on the island who keep the house and garden looking immaculate and picture perfect for our guests.
.
We already have a number of bookings for next year and the house has been selected as one of two on the island to be included in the @luxuryretreats and new @airbnb Luxe portfolio 😊
.
If you are interested in booking for next year then the link is in my bio, or message me for more information. Dreaming of a sunny break and wishing you a wonderful Friday!

The start of a new week and a new renovation project - number nine since starting in 2012!
.
It’s the simple things that will keep me calm amongst the renovation chaos - fresh flowers, lighting a new candle and taking time to occasionally sit quietly with a cup of tea. Little things I will do to try and stay sane, as I’m not good when my environment is a building site!
.
Wishing you all a wonderful week ✨ (This photo is from renovation #4 - all information on my blog)

Sunday morning and packing is almost done 😊 I’ve realised how much of a difference clutter makes - and not in a good way!
.
The cottage really has been a bit of a dumping ground all summer - half of our things are in storage, but the things we brought with us has nowhere to be tidied into as there are literally NO cupboards here. It’s been fine, but it didn’t realise until we packed up yesterday how much calmer I would feel after a good tidy/pack/declutter.
.
I will film a proper ‘before’ house tour for you today before the builders arrive tomorrow. It will so quickly become a proper building site!
.
I am also feeling much more creative about the designs for it now that ‘stuff’ has been cleared away. If you are planning any updates and are struggling to visualise what you want to do, then I highly recommend emptying the room as much as possible...gives you a much better idea of the blank canvas you are working with.
.
Happy Sunday ✨

Cosy Autumn 🍂 weekends are the best. Instead of snuggling up by the fire and cooking roasts this weekend though, we are packing our bags, as we are starting work on the cottage on Monday!
.
Our planning permission came through just in time on Wednesday (nothing like a last minute panic!) and through these lovely squares we have hopefully found the most perfect place to stay 😊 It’s attached to the house of a gorgeous friend from my school days, who has a little boy the same age as Lily, which couldn’t be more perfect ✨
.
Plus this week there was a major change on the house purchase front...which means it might all be on again after all 🤞🤞🤞
.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend - this is one of my favourite cosy sitting rooms from our Streatham project a few years ago. Swipe left for the before pictures and you can read the full renovation story on the blog. .
