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 😍

I had a lovely mum & son weekend while my husband caught up with friends in london but I think I may have caught the little ones lurgy 😔

So, excuse me while I neck all the vitamins & berocca and gargle salt water. Hope your week starts off a little better!

And yes, my obsession with the @neptunehomeoffical fern & @nordicnest vase continues 😂

All this lovely weather we’ve been having is not conducive to DIY is it?! Well, maybe today’s clouds means I’ll finally get down to Wickes to check out some panelling and beading options for the bedroom!

We muddled our way though panelling the hallway (see my story highlights!) but were happy with the results in the end. Please remind me of that when I’m up to my eyeballs in caulk next week 😅😂
