*My US Shopping*

AD Well here are some of my gorgeous new accessories I shopped & had shipped from the US. I know some of you have been following in real time how @myus_shipping works (watch the highlight if you missed it) so today I’ll just focus on the goodies.

Pictured is:
Driftwood candle & braided tray from @shoppeamberinteriors
Faux fern drop in, Mira pillowcase & distressed terracotta bowl from @mcgeeandco

I think the Mira cushion cover (the perfect pattern for a neutral fan) and driftwood candle with exotic tobacco bark scent are my favourite purchases. (They were the main reasons I put my order in!)

The others (and I have a few more bits to reveal) were a lovely bonus I added onto my order as it didn’t make much difference to the price of shipping.

As these companies don’t offer shipping to the UK, it’s thanks to MyUS that they are now adorning our coffee table. You simply sign up (for free via the link in my bio), get a US postal address, shop any online retailer as if you were a US customer & then MyUS take care of getting the package to your doorstep. (They deliver to 220+ countries.)

Their communication is great so you always know where your goods are. Plus, by combining packages from multiple stores you can save money on international delivery charges.

I’ll be putting together a blog post soon with a few more lessons I’ve learned from my experiences. But feel free to DM me with any questions in the meantime.

Are you tempted to get shopping? Do tag me in anything you order!

It’s hot isn’t it? Are we allowed to say it’s hot? I’m so hot 🥵 😂

We took a family trip to the beach yesterday. (Swipe to see my favourite beach to day trip from Berkshire.) I booked it a few weeks ago on the off-chance we’d have nice weather & as it turned out we were desperate for the slight sea breeze down there.

I’ve got lots of work to catch up on when the little one naps today so will be parked here with a fan in the afternoon. Hope you’re all keeping cool whatever way you can.

Good morning!

It looks like this weekend is set to be a scorcher but as I’ve had some exciting deliveries I’ll be faffing about in here in between having family over in the garden.

I can’t tell you how much I love the difference the panelling has made to our bedroom. I wanted to keep the backdrop fresh & neutral (as lord knows I like to switch up my soft furnishings as often as my hair styles) but the full height panelling just adds that depth the room was previously missing.

We’ve also hung our @pookylights wall lights. This is the Cooper (out of stock at the minute) which I’ve popped a Dunelm linen shade on as I wanted something larger than what I originally selected.

The artwork is a little Italian landscape from @shopvintagesupply paired with a bargain @dunelmuk frame. And the cushions have been stolen from around the house but watch this space as I’ve got new accessories for the bed being unboxed shortly….

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Details..

We’re slowly pulling our bedroom together. It’s quite small for a master so while I can’t add much more furniture than the fitted wardrobes & bedside tables, I’m focusing on the smaller details that can create the functionality & style we’re after.

I’ve also just discovered the genius that is a flower frog thanks to @our_new_walls. While not quite up to Alexa’s level, I’m loving how I can display the dahlia’s from our garden in a little pot now.

AD We’re channelling the pared back vibes of a boutique hotel in our new bedroom and I love it!

I’ve learned a few things from my stays in luxury hotels over the years that I’ve been using to create an indulgent feel at home.

Firstly, is the importance of good bedding. We’ve always invested in good quality duvets and pillows (I’m partial to a lot of feather) but the sheets are probably the most important element in terms of how you feel when you snuggle down for the night. I cannot speak highly enough of the @dipanddoze Cool & Crisp Edged Duvet Set seen here, especially if you want that luxury hotel feeling. This duvet cover feels like it gets better with each wash and because it’s made of finest quality, long-staple cotton it will look as good as new for much longer too. (Use code OURTRAVELHOME10 for 10% off your first purchase.)

Secondly, is scent. I find candles and diffusers a bit fussy for bedtime and hotels never provide them because of the safety element. So, I’ll never forget the first time I checked into a hotel with a lavender-scented pillow spray on the bedside table. It’s a game changer and an idea I totally stole for our bedroom. (I’ve got tubes of it hidden in the drawer for when I blow out my candle!)

Thirdly, I recommend you go gadget-free on the nightstand where possible. I’ve noticed how more hotels are including charging stations on desks rather than next to the bed and I’m all for it. While I purchased this clock for the design, it’s come in rather handy to check the time now my phone is in the study overnight rather than within arm’s reach.

Are there any ideas from hotels that you’ve stolen for your bedroom?

Ugly radiators in awkward places are the bane of m

Ugly radiators in awkward places are the bane of my new build life.

We still haven’t worked out what to do with this one in the hallway. We used to have a beautiful walnut floating shelf above the radiator but it turned out to be the perfect height for our 2 year to knock his head on every time we left the house. 😬

We’ve been saying for ages we’ll make a radiator cover but I’m not sure if adding bulk at the entrance is the answer either.

So, I’d love to know if anyone has experience of changing their radiators for something more attractive and what sort of costs are involved? (Husband is going to hate me for posting this if you all talk me into it!)

It’s been a drizzly Saturday here which means we spent the day tackling niggly DIY & rearranging the living room. Again.

Does everyone have that one room that they really struggle to resolve? For me that’s our living room. I love the cosy corners we’ve created but as a whole the room doesn’t work for me. With bi-fold doors onto the garden on one end & the open-plan office on the other, it’s hard for it not to feel like a corridor. I’ve tried all manner of furniture arrangements but we don’t have the space for the conversational layout I’d love & with a 2 year old running around we don’t want too many obstacles to trip him either. Anyway, I don’t know what the solution is yet. Just having a rant really 🤣

Have a lovely evening all x

Was feeling well smug about this vase of beautiful roses we cut from the garden until I realised I’d bought some kind of bug infestation into the house with them 😬🤦🏻‍♀️🪲

Sadly this arrangement lasted all of five minutes 🥲 What’s the best bug killer for roses? Best get protecting the rest of them!
