*Exciting shopping news* Especially for Studio McG

*Exciting shopping news* Especially for Studio McGee fans in the UK!

ad - Some of you may remember that recently I bought some McGee & Co homewares & had them shipped over here with @myus_shipping. Well, I’m so excited to announce that the team saw my reviews & got in touch about working together.

This is exciting for a couple of reasons:

Firstly, they have offered all of you an exclusive offer of 1 year of Premium Membership or 3 months Business Membership FREE when you sign up via my link. (I’ve popped it in my bio.)

Secondly, after speaking to the team it turns out I did not choose the cheapest shipping option on my original purchases. (How very me!) So shopping & shipping with MyUS is actually cheaper than I told you it would be 😅😂

Thirdly, as part of our collaboration, I’m going to do another US homewares haul (I know, lucky me!) and this time take you through it step by step to show you exactly how it all works & how to get the best price on shipping. (It’s 20% off all shipments for new members at the minute!) I’ll keep you up to date on stories & will also be writing a blog post with all the nitty gritty details once my packages are here.

I received so many messages about how I shopped these Studio McGee items from the UK so I think/hope you guys will be as excited by this news as me. Who wants to see what I’m ordering next?

*Marketplace find*

After complaining on here that I NEVER find anything on Facebook marketplace, look what we discovered last night!

After a disappointing delivery, I went on FB just in case there was something to fill this gap and found a neighbour 2 minutes away selling a vintage pedestal table for £15!

Now she’s a bit glossy on top and a little bit curvy round the edges but she’s in really good nick. (And not orange - which is the main thing 🤣) I usually go for cleaner lines but I’m kind of enjoying this corner’s new look!

What do we think of my £15 bargain?

*Taking styling notes*

No I haven’t made over our bedroom (yet!) but I thought I would share with you some of the stylish decor details of my hotel room last weekend. The lighting & panelling were on point and the choice of art that reflected the local area really sets the scene for your stay.

See any ideas you’d like to copy in your home?

New side table is being delivered tomorrow!

We needed some extra places to pop a cuppa in the living room & I’ve been going backwards and forwards between different coffee table and side table combinations for literally months. I still haven’t solved the coffee table conundrum (we have a very large footstool that restricts options) but I did settle on an end table. So watch this space. If it makes it onto the grid, it means I liked it 🤣

What are everyone’s thoughts on gallery walls?

What are everyone’s thoughts on gallery walls?

I’ve been working on this one the last couple of days & I don’t know how I feel about it. Usually I prefer a couple of small prints or a picture ledge but I felt I needed to go bigger on this wall to blend the Samsung Frame TV in a bit. Now, though, I’m in a quandary & don’t know if I need less prints, more prints or a different option altogether. I’ll put it to a poll in stories 🤣

I am loving all my new artwork though. I’ve tagged the pics & linked to all the stores I bought them from in my bio. I’ve also got a blog post on buying vintage art prints which includes details on how to print them cheaply & another one on where to find art for the Samsung Frame TV. If you can’t find what you are looking for though, feel free to DM me.

But for now, I’m going to stare at my wall & work out how to finish it!

*Debunking the thread count myth*

ad For years, my approach to buying bedding was to look for the highest thread count within my budget, until @dipanddoze showed me this was far from the best approach.

Thread count is simply a measure of the number of squares per square inch, it has nothing to do with the quality of threads or the cotton used. Sure, a high number sounds impressive, but more threads can in fact make your sheets heavier, rougher and less durable. Who wants to sleep on that!?

Thankfully, Dip & Doze have used their years of textile experience to produce a streamlined collection of luxury bed linen using only the finest quality, long-staple, 100% organic and Fairtrade certified cotton. The only thing you need to worry about when choosing Dip & Doze sheets is whether you prefer them soft and smooth or cool and crisp.

I’m now snuggling under their Cool & Crisp Edged Duvet Set every night, sleeping safe in the knowledge that our sheets are not only gentle on our skin but also the planet and the people who made them.

Fancy trying some of these finest cotton bed sheets yourself? Use code OURTRAVELHOME10 for 10% off your purchase.

Now tell me honestly, did you know what thread count actually meant until now?!

Home after a lovely night away in London & thought

Home after a lovely night away in London & thought I’d attempt my first sinkie with the peonies & alliums I carted across town & back to Berkshire!

I picked these up at the Columbia Road Flower Market, which is somewhere I used to browse as a student but obviously never bought anything from as I was skint & didn’t own a proper vase anyway 🤣 I was spoilt for choice today though. If these turn out to last, I’ll definitely be back for more regularly.

We’ve been having a little reshuffle downstairs

We’ve been having a little reshuffle downstairs as I’ve decided I can’t afford the console table I want to complete our study but I don’t want to buy a cheaper alternative I’ll quickly go off either. So I’m going to wait. But rather than stare at a blank space for another 6 months, I’ve rejigged the furniture we do have to fill the gaps in the meantime!

This isn’t where this chair ended up but I enjoyed a moment in it before the reshuffle continued.

I also couldn’t help but pop my new @studiomcgee purchase on the mantle. Again, this is probably not where the clock will live long-term (too tempting for little hands!) but aren’t all those squares such a fun contrast with the squishy curved chair 😍
