Renovation of our Cornish Holiday Cottage

Before...

Getting there...

 5 months later...

So...now the weather is starting to change, I've decided its about time I addressed the long awaited job of decorating our holiday cottage back in Cornwall. As usual, things have taken us a lot longer than expected, but I'm proud to say that we've come a long way. Since the first days of knocking down walls and adding extensions, we're finally feeling 'comfortable'. Now the fun can really begin, and I can start to source all the pretty things to fill our lovely new home with. Below are some before and after shots, some change hey? We've still a way to go, but we're hoping by Christmas we'll be finished and our house will be available to rent. Holiday by the beach anyone? xx

My Hen Party at Watergate Bay!

Hi everyone! Gosh - its scary how quickly time flies but at least I've managed to find a few minutes to post about one of my favourite places, Watergate Bay! I couldn't believe it when all my gorgeous girlfriends travelled to Cornwall so we could spend my Hen Party in this gorgeous hotel. Twelve of us enjoyed the relaxation of the Swim Club and treated ourselves to champagne and facials. It was truly divine and worth every single penny. I love Watergate Bay so much, that my fiance and I plan to stay here the night before our wedding - so super excited! So if you ever want to visit Cornwall in style - this is the place to stay. xxx

Paul Massey's Cornish Home

Wow, Paul has done it again! He's created a beautiful rustic beach house, situated in one of the sweetest Cornish fishing towns in the UK. I love how he collects industrial lighting and reclaimed furniture, yet makes them feel so luxurious at the same time. His interior style inspires me so much, I'm sure I'll be stealing a few of his ideas when decorating our holiday home here in North Cornwall. I can't wait to see what he does next! x

A North Cornish Home

I've recently been touring around North Cornwall and in my search for wonderful homes, I came across this beautiful bolthole. Just a few miles outside of Boscastle, Rose Bamford's home epitomises laid back country glamour. I love all her quirky interior bits and bobs, her matching old with new furniture along with her very recognisable 'Love' and 'Peace' prints on the walls. You can buy many of these gorgeous things through Rose's company Dandy Star. And for more information on Rose herself then there's a lovely piece at Mail Online. Enjoy! xxx
