I’m sorry I’ve been quiet for the last week or I’m sorry I’ve been quiet for the last week or so - post lockdown things are moving quickly with Bath, so lots of decisions to make. There are also lots of cottage tweaks still to do, as well as client work, getting the house in Menorca ready for rentals from next week, life admin and most important of all, looking after Lily! . I’m managing to juggle it all, but I’m afraid Instagram did get a little left behind. Plus we still need to shoot some more areas of the cottage to share - it’s frustrating, as we are still waiting for some key furniture before we can fully photograph each room, plus we have to re-shoot the master bedroom as I wasn’t happy with my initial styling. I will share why with you in a short video at some point, as I think important to explain and show when I don’t get it right, as well as when I hopefully do! . Hoping you are all having a good week. I can’t believe it’s already Friday tomorrow ☺️✨oh and p.s. I’m totally obsessed with this wallpaper by @cole_and_son_wallpapers - I find it totally mesmerising to look at! . 📷 @butlermadden interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #interiorstyling #designinspiration #lbmdesignstudio #interiordesigner #cornerofmyhome #interiorismo #interiordecor #interiordesigngoals #laurabutlermadden #luxuryinteriors #mydomaine #dailydecordose #howihaven #Mycrumbshome #InMyDomaine #lightandbright #MyCovetedHome #housegoals #housebeautiful #farrowandball #apartmenttherapy #rockmystylishhome #interiorstyling #interiormilk #sodomino
Excited to read this morning that travel without q Excited to read this morning that travel without quarantine is now allowed to Spain and a number of other European countries ☺️ We may get over to Menorca soon after all! . Amazingly the last dates we have available at the house until September are 6th - 15th July. So do message me if you are interested! .

☀️Competition Now Closed☀️ . I don’t oft ☀️Competition Now Closed☀️ . I don’t often do competitions on here, this is actually only the second one ever. I’ve been waiting until things have relaxed more in terms of travel …and I’m SO excited to share it now, as travel is allowed to Spain from Sunday. . Patrick and I would love to give one lucky follower a four night stay at our house in Menorca! ✨ . We'd like you to nominate someone that you think really deserves a holiday. Perhaps they are a wonderful key worker, or equally it could be someone who has had a particularly tricky time over the past few months - they may have lost someone dear to them, they might have been stuck alone at home looking after children and juggling home schooling with work, or perhaps it's you who could do with some time to relax in the sunshine - you can nominate yourself! The last few months have been overwhelming for so many and we want to treat someone who deserves a break to a luxurious trip away. . To enter: 1. Like this photo and make sure you are following @laurabutlermadden 2. Tag friends & family (as many as you want!), but ideally each in a separate comment below. .  The competition will run until Sunday evening and we will announce the winner on Monday 22nd June, using an automated winner picking app for fairness. . This giveaway is open to people from anywhere in the world who are over 18. It is not in any way affiliated to Instagram. The winner will have between now and June 2021 to take their trip. The competition is for accommodation only, depending on time of travel the value is upwards from £1750, the house sleeps up to 10 people. NB travel to and from the island is not included. We will only ask for a fully refundable security deposit for the duration of the stay at the house. Click on the link in my bio for full information about the property. Good luck! ✨☀️😘 I have been so excited to share this with you and we will also be running a similar competition in a few weeks’ time relating to the cottage. For that you will have to watch this space :) . #competition #giveaway #freeprizedraw #menorca #holiday #balearics #sunshine #holidaysarehere
Thank you so, so much for all the kitchen love 💓 We couldn’t be more thrilled with how it’s turned out and I am overwhelmed by how much you all seem to like it too, so thank you ☺️ . . Today’s snippet is a corner of the sitting room at the cottage. When adding the kitchen extension, we made space for a small snug as well as a more grown up living space and I’ve had so much fun designing both. The monochrome feel in this room was inspired by the amazing sofa from @attpynta - it was love at first site 😍 . As always, we have worked with some wonderful artists on this project and you can see pictures here by the hugely talented @kristingaudioendsley and @mousecazalet . . Finally, I want to say a big WELCOME to all my lovely new followers 😊 - tomorrow I will be launching a really exciting competition that you won’t want to miss (especially in this pouring rain!), so make sure you keep an eye on my feed and stories tomorrow evening...not to give too much away, but sunshine ☀️ is involved! . Lots of love and have a wonderful evening ✨ . 📷 @butlermadden #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #interiorstyling #designinspiration #lbmdesignstudio #sofa #cornerofmyhome #interiorismo #interiordecor #interiordesigngoals #laurabutlermadden #luxuryinteriors #mydomaine #dailydecordose #howihaven #Mycrumbshome #InMyDomaine #lightandbright #MyCovetedHome #housegoals #housebeautiful #farrowandball #apartmenttherapy #rockmystylishhome #interiorstyling #interiormilk #sodomino
Firstly I want to thank you all so much for your l Firstly I want to thank you all so much for your lovely responses and comments on yesterday’s post. It’s been so lovely to have fresh content to share with you after so long, and I’m so thrilled that you liked it ☺️ . Today I am sharing the first shot of the new kitchen - as soon as we started planning the cottage we knew we needed to partner with @devolkitchens to create something special. Initially I thought I would go for strong black units with the Arabescato marble, then I thought white, but finally settled on Trinity Blue, one of DeVOL’s own colours, and I am so thrilled with the result. The amazing stone was sourced and supplied by @porterbathroom , who also worked on the cottage bathrooms with us and have the best selection of marble slabs I’ve found to date - Roy has an amazing eye and I can’t wait to share the bathrooms with you soon too. . Finally we wanted to mix aged brass accents into the scheme, with handles, sockets and tap to create a more loved and lived in feel. The handles were supplied by @devolkitchens , sockets from @corstonarchitecturaldetail the beautiful tap (as always!) from @perrinandrowe ✨ . We are so pleaaed with the result and I look forward to sharing more photos and a video tour with you in the next few weeks. . AD (All the suppliers listed are companies we regularly use for our projects - in this instance they gave us a slightly bigger discount than I would get as trade in return for promotion, but they are genuine associations and brands that I have used regularly in the past.) . 📷 @butlermadden #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #interiorstyling #designinspiration #devolkitchen #kitcheninspiration #cornerofmyhome #kitchen #interiordecor #interiordesigngoals #laurabutlermadden #luxuryinteriors #mydomaine #dailydecordose #Mycrumbshome #InMyDomaine #lightandbright #MyCovetedHome #housegoals #housebeautiful #farrowandball #apartmenttherapy #kitchendesign #interiorstyling #interiormilk #sodomino
I can’t tell you how excited I am to be sharing I can’t tell you how excited I am to be sharing this with you! The first sneak peak of the cottage after months of hard work, followed by a pause during lockdown. . This is part of the new extension - we doubled the size of the kitchen and added this dining area to the side. It has access to the garden and is flooded with natural light and we are over the moon with how it’s turned out. . I can’t wait to show you more of the house - it’s been a busy week getting moved in and sorted, so now time to put our feet up and have a celebratory glass of wine. I hope you like it as much as we do! ☺️ . 📷 @butlermadden #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #interiorstyling #designinspiration #lbmdesignstudio #interiordesigner #cornerofmyhome #interiorismo #interiordecor #interiordesigngoals #laurabutlermadden #luxuryinteriors #mydomaine #dailydecordose #howihaven #Mycrumbshome #InMyDomaine #lightandbright #MyCovetedHome #housegoals #housebeautiful #farrowandball #apartmenttherapy #rockmystylishhome #interiorstyling #interiormilk #sodomino #interiorismo
We were so happy to read yesterday that travel to We were so happy to read yesterday that travel to Spain from the UK will be allowed from June 21st! That means we can now plan a trip to Menorca soon to check on the house and also hopefully catch up with our family in Madrid, who we have missed so much. . It’s lovely to see the world tentatively opening again - long may it last. And don’t forget we have amazing rates (some almost half price) available for July and September at the house - there has been a flurry of new bookings in the last few weeks and August is now full, but if you are thinking of getting away then do check availability by clicking on the link in my bio ✨ . #menorca #balearics #baleares #balearichome #balearichouse #luxurymenorca #menorcanhome #menorcanhouse #balearicliving 📷 @butlermadden
I’m in bed before 8.30pm on a Saturday night :) I’m in bed before 8.30pm on a Saturday night :) It’s actually rather blissful, but comes after an exhausting week of packing and unpacking for the umpteenth time in the last two years. . We had the most heavenly time staying with the wonderful @mousecazalet - three weeks turned into 8 months after our 2nd attempt at buying a new home fell through in October and I can’t think of a better place to have spent lockdown. . Leaving was emotional, but being back at the cottage is lovely too. We have worked so hard this week and I’m pleased to say that it’s really coming together now...I will share some bits over the next few days and we will be photographing it properly to share next week. . It’s no wonder we’re exhausted though as Bath is now full steam ahead - I will share a few progress pics on stories tomorrow and on Monday I will be there in person, so can give you a ‘before’ tour. But for now, I’m off to sleep - night night! 😴 . . 📷 @butlermadden #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #interiorstyling #designinspiration #lbmdesignstudio #interiordesigner #cornerofmyhome #interiorismo #interiordecor #interiordesigngoals #laurabutlermadden #luxuryinteriors #mydomaine #dailydecordose #howihaven #Mycrumbshome #InMyDomaine #lightandbright #MyCovetedHome #housegoals #housebeautiful #bathroom #bathroominspo #pinktiles #apartmenttherapy
