Instagram post 17875945066465891 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. . . #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
Instagram post 18033429475217533 Yesterday marked the start of baby loss awareness week in the UK. Did you know that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss? I was part of that statistic in 2016 and felt paralysed, unable to talk about it or share it for a really long time. . . It was at 23 weeks and it was physically extremely traumatic, as well as emotionally crippling, and my life was at risk. I ended up (after a week of being induced and losing huge amounts of blood) having an emergency c-section followed by three blood transfusions. It took me weeks to regain strength and I felt trapped in my fear of never becoming a mummy. . . Finally, late in my pregnancy with beautiful Lily Rose (pictured) in early 2018 I felt ready to share my story. Supported by many including my gorgeous friend and super inspiring lady @feathering_the_empty_nest who has helped start the conversation openly online and in real life and keeps it going with her amazing charity work to raise awareness ✨ Let’s keep taking about it and letting those who experience it, know they are not alone. . #babylossawareness #babyloss #babylosssupport #babylosscommunity #babylossawarenessweek #babylosssurvivor #babylossmamas 📷 @butlermadden
Instagram post 17859942094539226 I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend? P is away in Italy for ten days photographing lots of houses for a luxury rental company (sounds heavenly, but it is actually exhausting as he’s having to do three each day!) . Lily and I have been pottering around close to home and this afternoon I headed into @decorex_international for my annual inspiration fix. . Speaking of inspiration, this is the master bedroom of renovation number four, that I shared on the blog on Friday (link in my bio ✨) We created this master suite by doing a full loft conversion and managed to squeeze in a large bedroom, walk in wardrobe, as well a shower room. Always a challenge when dealing with areas of restricted height, but we were really pleased with the result. I designed a lovely large window looking out to the garden side (if you swipe left you can see it fully), which worked brilliantly to add a bit of character and let in more light. . After posting the blog I have had lots of people asking about this chandelier - it’s one of my all time favourites by Verner Panton and I have currently linked to it in stories if you want to find out more. . Wishing you a lovely evening! . #renovation #renovate #designbuildrepeat #creativecraftsmanship #design #architecture #architect #interiordesign #interior #build #builder #house #home #remodel #remodeling #construction #carpentry #designbuild #masterbedroom #loftbedroom #bedroominspo #bedroomdesign #loftconversion #luxurybedroom 📷 @butlermadden http://liketk.it/2Fzmn #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.europe @liketoknow.it.home #LTKeurope #LTKbeauty #LTKhome
Instagram post 17885376313426680 Flashing back to 2014 on the blog today and the much requested next chapter in our property renovation journey ✨ . A very dilapidated and sad 1930s semi in Streatham Hill was our next project, which we totally fell in love with during the renovation process. It really was a classic case of ugly duckling to beautiful swan ✨ . If you swipe left you can see some before pictures and if you want to find out more about the project, then click on the blog link in my bio ✨ . Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! . 📷 @butlermadden #interiordesign #interiorinspiration #interiordetails #kitchen #design #designinspiration #lbmdesignstudio #kitchenddesign #colourlover #cornerofmyhome #colourmyhome #colourmyhome #interiordetails #inmydomaine #interiorismo #interior123 #fafffriday #interiordecor #housebeautiful #farrowandball #myhomevibe #interior4inspo #apartmenttherapy #sorealhomes #myhomeforhp #rockmystylishhome #interiorstyling #interiormilk #sodomino #interiorismo
Instagram post 17854850152560411 Our trip to Menorca went past in a flash! We were meant to have arrived back late last night but in fact we were home on Thursday morning as BA cancelled our return flight 😔 . But on the plus side it’s actually quite a good thing, as the next few weeks are full on. We are hoping our building team will be starting on the cottage in three weeks’ time (and I promise to give you a full before tour and talk you through our plans) and even more excitingly we should 🤞🤞🤞be moving into our new house this time next month and then there will be lots to share as we plan, design and redecorate 😊 . In the meantime I will be mainly sharing pictures of previous projects and a few sunny Menorca pictures thrown in to the mix, but soon I will hopefully have lots of new content to share with you all. Wishing you all a lovely weekend ✨ . 📷 @butlermadden #summerroom #menorcahouse #luxuryvilla #menorcaliving #bedroom #bedroominspiration #bedroomdesign #poolhouse #photography #art #artist #interiordesign #lbmdesignstudio #laurabutlermadden #inspiremyinstagram #interior123 #mydecor #bedroomdecor #apartmenttherapy #styleithappy #howwehome #mydomino #interieurinspitatie #interiormilk #flashesofdelight #interiorismo #flashesofdelight #stopandstaredecor
Instagram post 18023673142226569 I’ll never tire of evenings like these...I can’t believe we have to leave on less than 48 hours 😢 . Soaking up all the last rays of sunshine while we can... ✨ . #menorca #balearics #baleariclove #menorcalove 📷 @butlermadden
Instagram post 18102696367032228 One of my favourite corners in the house - I’ve always loved the peacock chair and it fits perfectly in this spot between the sitting room and the top terrace. . I’ve had the most lovely peaceful day today with P and LR for my birthday - feeling very spoilt and very blessed ☺️ . One day of doing very little and I’m raring to get home and back to work again, I’m such a fidget 😂 ✨ #sittingroom #sittingroomdesign #sittingroominspo #sittingroominspiration ##interiordesign #lbmdesignstudio #laurabutlermadden #inspiremyinstagram #interior123 #mydecor #bedroomdecor #apartmenttherapy #styleithappy #howwehome #mydomino #interieurinspitatie #interiormilk #flashesofdelight #interiorismo #flashesofdelight #stopandstaredecor 📷 @butlermadden
Instagram post 17869682692473360 September sunshine ✨ . We had the most amazing weekend with friends and are now winding down for a quiet Sunday evening. I can’t believe we only have three days left of until we head home (thanks to BA striking and even though it’s called off our flight hasn’t been re-instated, so we are losing two days 😔) . But it’s my birthday tomorrow and I’m going to make the most of the gorgeous September sunshine while I still can ☀️✨ . #summer #summersun #latesummersun #septembersunshine #menorca #menorcaliving #menorcalife #balearicislands #balearicliving 📷 @butlermadden
Instagram post 17910343975358447 More pink tiles today 😊 To me pink is a colour of fun, it lifts the mood whether it’s the deep pink of a bougainvillea bloom or the soft dusty pink of these Moroccan tiles. I also find it a very calming colour and for this house I wanted the energy to be both those things...calm and fun! . I hope you’re having a lovely sunny Saturday - it’s grey and stormy here, but hoping it won’t last too long... . #kitchen #kitchendesign #kitcheninspiration #kitcheninspo #kitchenstyle #kitchenlove #kitchensofinstagram #pinkkitchen #pinktiles #tiles #tilelover #moroccantile #tileinspiration #interiordesign #lbmdesignstudio #laurabutlermadden #inspiremyinstagram #interior123 #mydecor #bedroomdecor #apartmenttherapy #styleithappy #howwehome #mydomino #interieurinspitatie #interiormilk #flashesofdelight #interiorismo #flashesofdelight #stopandstaredecor 📷 @butlermadden
