We’ve been enjoying some cosy ‘Sortumn’ vibe

We’ve been enjoying some cosy ‘Sortumn’ vibes of an evening. But how confusing are the unexpected 20 degree days at the moment? I’m torn between wanting to lap up the last of the September sun & bust out my winter coat.

Don’t talk to me about the Xmas aisle at Tesco though. Surely we’re not there yet?!

I have a love/hate relationship with bedspreads.

Love the extra cosy layer
Hate the extra effort to make the bed..

Hence the haphazard throwing on this one I’ve freshly washed ( but haven’t ironed 😅). It’s all about the unmade bed look these days isn’t it?! 🙏🤣

When you rejig some accessories & it feels like a new room 💕

It’s been a while since I had a good faff & I forgot how satisfying it can be. Cheaper than retail therapy too 🤣🤪

Happy hump day everyone.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I find myself one again obsessing over solving my alcove issues. Perhaps it’s because I stare at this wall every evening that I keep coming up with even more ways we can style it. (I’m pretty sure I’m doing hubby’s head in.)

I shared a few ideas I’ve been playing around with on my stories the other week & you guys were very helpful. I was all set to rip out the radiator & start afresh with floor to ceiling shelving but interestingly the majority of you voted for us to keep the right hand side of the pic as is & add some small shelves to the gap on the left instead. An architect offered some helpful advice about leaving 200-300 mms between the architrave so I need to get my measuring tape out this weekend & see what that looks like. I think I’ll masking tape out my plans & finally make a decision. Well, that’s the idea anyway!

Right Insta, can you you talk to me about seasonal decor?!

I’ve got to be honest, apart from the traditional decorations at Xmas, I have never bought any seasonal decor for our home. (The hallway hasn’t been touched since spring.)

But this year? I want in! I want to autumn-ify our fave rooms. I want to up the cosy factor for the winter. I really, really want to create the sofa equivalent of a pumpkin spice latte 🤣🎃🍂🥮

But where do I start?! And when do I stop?!

I thought I might dip my toe in with autumnal stems and then see where we go from there… 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣😅

What about you? Are you making any changes for the season or sticking with your core styling?

Let’s talk frames!

I’ve posted a lot about where I like to shop for art prints but had a few questions lately about where I go to for frames. The truth is most of them come from the good old high street, with just a few tweaks in some cases.

I’ve learned a couple of tips from the ‘gram you see. 🤪

Firstly, if the frame doesn’t come with an oversight mount you can just order it from Frames Express. (See my IKEA Frame Hack highlights for some tips on measurements I gleaned from @mynordicnook ).

Secondly, if you’re framing a painting or textured giclee art print - remove the glass or Perspex from the frame so you can better see it.

And that’s it!

Keep swiping for some of the frames I’ve purchased recently. I’ve tried to include the exact sizes where possible. Hope that helps the handful of you that asked for details 🤪

Hi everyone, I’m still here enjoying all your luscious posts. I’m just struggling a bit to juggle this account with my travel one & all the freelance mum bits that go on in the background. We’re also planning another trip (all being well) so I’m waiting to dive into any new house projects until we’re back. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been making crude Canva mock ups of our next jobs though. I’ll try to show you what I’m on about in stories tonight. 🤣😅

How about you? Are you clinging onto the last of summer or ready to nest in & get cosied up for autumn/winter?
