Happy Sunday morning everyone. I hope you have se Happy Sunday morning everyone. I hope you have settled into this quieter way of being - feel so happy to be able to slow our life in order to help support the wonderful NHS and most importantly save lives. We have only visited the cottage a few times during lockdown, just to check it and water the garden. . . Everything was closed down just before we had finished, we still need carpet and a couple more important tweaks before we can start moving in furniture and getting it ready for rental. Because of the current situation we had been thinking about moving into it full time for the summer until we can hopefully move into our house in Bath, but I wonder if you would still book look to book a cottage in the Cotswolds for their summer, when things are relaxed again? Would love to know your thoughts on that. . If you would like to see the design scheme for the house then check out my latest blog post (link in bio ✨) . #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
How things can change in a year - last April we pa How things can change in a year - last April we packed up our home in Dorset and headed down to Menorca for the last push in the renovation there. I remember so well the beautiful hot Spring weather the UK were having, as we arrived to an usually stormy and cold Spring in Menorca. . Lily was 11 months old and zooming around the house in her walker, whilst storms and torrential rain battered and we had no running water at the house. Initially we felt quite overwhelmed by it all, but fast forward to May and it was a different picture; the house was finished, styled and photographed ready for the summer season and all felt calm again. I’m sort of hoping the same will happen this year - the world is in chaos at the moment with no clear end in sight, but I’m praying that a month from now it will be a different picture and we will be starting to see and feel the sunshine again ☀️✨🤞😘 . 📷 @butlermadden #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #interiorstyling #design #designinspiration #laurabutlermadden #menorca #colourmyhome #interiordetails #inmydomaine #interiorismo #interior123 #interiordecor #housebeautiful #farrowandball #myhomevibe #interior4inspo #apartmenttherapy #sorealhomes #myhomeforhp #rockmystylishhome #interiorstyling #interiormilk #sodomino
Dreaming of days in the (hopefully) not too distan Dreaming of days in the (hopefully) not too distant future when we can potter through these beautiful honey coloured streets and life will be normal again. . We are meant to complete on our house in just over a week, and as soon as our team can safely travel back to the UK, we hope to start work. Our plan is to be living there by late summer and if we can carry on with the renovations starting in the next few months then that should still work. I’m excited to take you on this journey and sending you all lots of love. . #renovation #renovate #designbuildrepeat #creativecraftsmanship #design #architecture #architect #interiordesign #interior #build #builder #house #home #remodel #remodeling #construction #carpentry #designbuild #bath #georgian #georgianarchitecture

I hope you are all having a lovely quiet weekend a I hope you are all having a lovely quiet weekend and adjusting to the new normal - for the next few weeks at least. . I am trying to use the extra time at home positively and focus my energy into being more creative. I have finally written a blog post that I have been meaning to write for a long time. It’s a new style of post, sharing my design schemes for the cottage in advance of it being finished. I would love to know your thoughts on whether this is something that you would like to see going forward? . Sending lots of love to you all and the link to my post is in my bio, as always ✨ . #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
Whilst we are all at home and hunkering down for t Whilst we are all at home and hunkering down for the next few weeks, I’m going to make a real effort to post daily photos and will do my best to choose the prettiest and most uplifting ones I can find! . This is up there as one of my favourites ✨ The Summer Room in Dorset was always filled with sunshine - it was triple aspect with views across the countryside and the colour scheme always reminded me of ice cream!🍦😊 . . Sending you all lots of love and strength - we can do this! ✨ . . . 📷 @butlermadden #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
Daydreaming of blue skies and calm mornings. I hop Daydreaming of blue skies and calm mornings. I hope you are all ok? Strange times we are living in but we must remember that this too shall pass. There are small snippets of good news from different countries around the world. Different medications are showing positive results at treating the virus in India and Australia and China reported only one new case yesterday in Wuhan. . I’m just praying that we can pull together and help the worst pass as soon as possible so that some sort of normality returns by summer - and I’m bagging this spot by the pool as soon as we can safely travel again please! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘And the people stayed home. And read books, and ‘And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.’ . ‘And the people healed. And in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.’ . ‘And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and healed the earth fully, as they had been healed fully.’ Kitty O’Meara
What a strange week and weekend it’s been. Our h What a strange week and weekend it’s been. Our homes are our safe havens and never needed more than now. We are constantly thinking of our family in Spain, who are now in lockdown and taking each day as it comes here. . In the meantime it’s important to look around and appreciate the small things. Light that candle you’ve been saving for a special occasion and buy another to keep and pop in the cupboard to support businesses, who need us so much at the moment. Still go to your favourite cafe, even if you get a takeaway and take it home. I’m going to do my best to support all the businesses that are important in my world, as these next few months are going to be a challenge for them all. . . Do something each day that makes you smile and surround yourself with love and calm when you can. My treat tonight is a strong gin and tonic and some fresh daffodils from the garden ✨ . #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
