Renovation of Bodhi's Beach Hut

Well, as ever…life has been pretty hectic for us so yet again my poor little blog has been left to its own devices for a while. But that’s not to say that things can’t change. We have managed to complete so many huge projects this year, one being the development of our Cornish holiday home near Padstow. I previously had a post on the progress of our renovation, but I can happily now report that (after a rather long time) we’re done!! The property has gone live on Homeway and you can now book for 2014, yey!!! I do hope that you like the way in which I’ve decorated the property and we would be delighted to hear from you if you fancy a holiday in sunny Cornwall next year.

Further to this, another huge project is in its development which my husband and I are super excited about. We’re opening our first interior store next Spring 2014 in Cornwall. It’s such an exciting time for us and I’ll be able to show you how we’re getting on with its development when we get the keys in January. So watch this space!! My husband will be making all his own furniture which has been a dream of his for years, so it’s going to be an exciting year ahead.

And lastly, one even bigger project that we’ve taken on is the arrival of our baby son next March!!! Yey!!! How on earth are we going to fit all this is in, I hear you cry! God knows…we we’re up for the challenge. I can’t wait to meet our new little arrival, its such an exciting time and as much as our lives are a complete whirlwind, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I am one incredibly happy bunny. Love to you all, and I’ll be in touch very soon . xx

So true...but there's so much more to look forward to :-) x

My Dream Kitchen

Sometimes, when I'm in need of some interior inspiration I go straight to 1st Option Locations as their properties are to absolutely die for. But when I last looked, I was just over the moon the find this beautiful house which I read about in Living etc earlier this year. At that time, I tore these pictures out for my scrap book (and stuffed them under my husbands nose to say 'this is the kitchen I want') but I'm absolutely thrilled to see that 1st Option provide so many wonderful images showing this kitchen from all angles. Its so beautifully finished and I love the deep green/ blue cabinets against the white panelling too. Amazing! Its naughty to steal someones look but hey - who's gonna know? ;-) Enjoy!

Upcott Farm Luxury Cottages

The one thing I love about my husband and I renovating our holiday cottage, is that I’m allowed to spend a ridiculous amount of time on the internet searching for other inspirational holiday accommodation around the country. I love everything about ‘getting away’ and I’d rather spend my very last penny on a beautiful hotel room than on a designer handbag, that’s for sure! So in my recent quest for beautiful accommodation, I came across these wonderful cottages at Upcott Farm. How dreamy? I would just love an excuse to holiday here and as it’s not so far away…maybe it could be a great meeting place for future get togethers with friends. I love everything about these cottages, and I’d oh so love to live in a completely white house. But sometimes, I feel so stuck between living in a completely colourful home, and one that’s just as these are. Serene, soft and oh so calm.  Is there a balance somewhere in between? Hopefully I’m trying to achieve that with our home, which by the way, is so close to being finished. I can’t wait to share it with you. Take care, and have a wonderful weekend. x

I went into the most delightful store yesterday in the coastal town of Fowey, Cornwall. How lovely it is to see such wonderful brands in Cornwall, some being my favourites such as Falcon Enamelware and Hooper and Shaw prints...I think I even spied some delights from Fog Linen Works too! The store has been fitted out so beautifully, and that's all down to the incredibly talented duo at Millard&Flo. I can't wait to go again, maybe I could use our visiting friends as an excuse! I can see it now, ' oooh...have you been to Fowey before? We just have to go....' hehe.

Scandinavian Home

So its been a while you could say, but I have a huge excuse...planning a wedding is exactly an easy task on top of a full time job. But hey, it was an amazing experience and I wouldn't regret the time I dedicated towards it for a second. We both had the most amazing day of our lives! But now we're home (after being honeymooned) I can dedicate some more of my time to another true love...interiors. As my first married post, I'd like to share with you this beautiful Scandinavian home. Rustic, white with a vintage flair. When can I move in? More images can be found via Style Files. Enjoy! x
