Every time I think I'm over these dark inky walls I am reminded how glorious they can be when the light hits just right.

I love how the blue grey makes all my plants sing and I can't deny how warm and cosy this room feels in the colder months.

Natural wood adds warmth and texture and pops if red are keeping it feeling fresh for me.

Design is such a subjective thing, and whether something is 'in' or 'out' as long as it works for you, it works.

How you frame something is sometimes more important than the picture itself.

It's possible to ruin a great image with the wrong frame, or to elevate something ordinary into something magical with the right one.

Imaginative framing can also be a great way to get textures, layers, colour and quirk into a scheme.

One of my most obsessive follows of 2023 has been who are absolute masters at this.

Swipe for some examples.

King George is ready so I guess that means it's happening! 🌟🌲

I'm fairly confident that we won't run out of catfood or loo paper for at least a week which means that we shouldn't have to leave the house for anything other than the obligatory after lunch walks.

Wellies and coats are lined up at the door. The Christmas channel is now permanent background noise (it calms the pup), the halls are decked with foraged firry splendour and I even baked a ham last night in preparation for an easy supper tonight for late arriving family.

Despite having done absolutely nothing (apart from the ham)to prep for Christmas I feel, for the first time in months, totally relaxed and ready for some family down time.

To be fair this is only possible because the rest of my family have organised everything down to a tee. Larders are stocked, bed linen is fresh, house is cleaned and filled with the balsam scents of winter and family are incoming.

We will have a few empty spaces this year which is always difficult, and it's been a tough year overall but on balance I still feel pretty lucky to be exactly where I am.

My cup runneth over.

Wishing you all a peaceful festive week, may your cups be filled to overflowing, and sending extra love and Christmas cheer to all those who are working over the holidays. Thank you 🫶🏻🎄

Christmas is creeping in on the quietest of feet; a foraged fir twig here, a sprig of Christmas red rosehips there, the little potted fir that usually spends December ensconced in my daughter's room now sits on the kitchen window cill adorned with the barest hint of sparkle.

Christmas is my favourite time of year, but this year out of necessity my focus is elsewhere and although I love our family's Christmas traditions I am not going to let my lack of time this year stress or stifle me.

Instead I am eschewing anything that doesn't bring joy, and the sum total of our Christmas decorations may or may not remain at what is my normal winter default of an over abundance of candles, a few fresh cut fir boughs dotted around for their fragrance, my Nordic star which remains up all year, and the radio set permanently to classic fm.

If my slightly feral autumn wreath gets swapped for a festive version before the solstice it will be a bonus. I am embracing a Slow Christmas this year, wi to no regrets.

How to make people feel welcome... it's a simple thing really.

But like all simple things it's not always easy to get right.

It's an attitude, a greeting, a generosity of spirit that is evident in the space around you.

It's one of the most fundamental design pillars for our pub brand where my design briefs start and end with creating spaces that people want to spend time in.

Woody the whippet, our brand ambassador embodies all the traits of our pubs; friendly, cosy, warm and welcoming, and he's ready to greet all the lovely new guests who will soon be flooding through the doors of our latest pub when they open in a few weeks' time.

This is just the entrance hall and I'm already loving it. Can't wait to show you all the cosy corners.

Not sure what he's worried about. He has four sofas, 3 beds and innumerable blankets as well as his cableknit jumper to keep him warm.

Accidentally Wes Anderson

This bathroom makeover could slot right into a Wes Anderson movie.

So many things to love about it,so zoom in, let the whole scene play out, rewind to look at your favourite parts again, and like a movie, all the credits are at the end.

As always we approached this project in the most sustainable responsible way we could. Floors and wall tiles were decades old and the grout was all blown, so these we replaced. The classic chequerboard floor is a nod to our French heritage and the encaustic wall tiles are a bespoke collab.

We refurbed the existing vanity unit, repainting in one of my favourite greens and refurbing and retaining the marble top.

We added new basins, coloured and fluted concrete for a touch of fun and paired them with these gorgeous powder coated coloured taps.

The final touches and textures were added with fresh ironmongery in antique brass, new wall lights and mirrors.

The previous light fittings and mirrors were repurpsed in other projects.

I still can't decide what my favourite part of this scheme is. I pretty much love it all 🫶🏻

Happy Sun-day all!

We're soaking up the sunshine, although we're wrapping up to do it. Even pup has his jumper on today.

I know it's not that cold yet but he's got very little in the way of coat or body fat and he's an old boy so he likes to keep warm. Maybe the whippet in him?

I still have African blood, that's my excuse.

There's a special kind of Sunday cosy when it's chilly outside and you're warm and gathered around a table with those you love.

Simple meals of roasted veg and fresh focaccia from the bakery. A gift never taken for granted.

I have a house full of freeloaders, and I love it.

This little freeloader is still counting his blessings as last October he was living in the woods.

I'm still counting my blessings because he's such a sweet little treat, hence his name Tiramisu, who just blends right in.

And those eyes 😻

I know I'm not the only one 😂. Let's see all the pics of your s today. I could do with a feed full of love right about now.

Happy weekend guys. Make it count.
