As we head into a new season it’s time to take a breath oh and admire the grass! ❤️

This lovely lady is slowly on the glow up and whilst it can be frustrating at times it will be worth every bit of stress.

Back in my old stopping ground, sourcing. This place really has my heart. it was so lovely catching up, grabbing a coffee and getting the best of hugs.

The sourcing list was ticked off too and there was even a last minute PAT test! Thanks the antique standard lamp is beautiful, I love the plant stand and the Victorian table is perfect .lomax What can I say…it really was lovely to be back xx

So, a little update… things have been pretty manic here!

Probably not the wisest idea to renovate the two most-used rooms in the house at the same time!

While the bedroom and ensuite are in bits, we decided to turn our attention to the kitchen island.

New granite top, new hob, new casing, fresh paint and new handles… a whole new look!

We’re gonna pause for a few weeks while we take a wee breather, then it’s the full kitchen install and one final push to get everything finished!

The synchronicity of life never ceases to amaze me!

While working on an unusual 3D ostrich project, I’m suddenly seeing ostriches everywhere—and this morning, I stumbled across this magnificent 150-year-old, full-size feathered beauty.

Controversial, perhaps, but impossible to miss. Naturally, I had to get out the tape measure and check a few proportions for my own project!

What an absolute beauty ❤️

Been on the hunt for the right piece of granite for our new kitchen island and didn’t fancy the expense of buying a massive slab and wasting half of it!

I’m no stranger to World of Marble in Langar, having used them on a few hotel projects, and once again they came up trumps.

One phone call, a visit to the yard and we found the perfect piece. Just a week later, beautifully polished and cut ready for the hob, today was collection day!

If you’re ever looking for stone, marble or granite, this place is well worth a visit. They’ve got some brilliant offcuts too!

Thanks again ❤️

What a lovely morning to step outside to clean the annex all ready for family this weekend. Still smiling at our new ‘Goat House’ sign, loving that rusted finish. Inside, the last little details are falling into place. Even with my tile mishap!

I’m chuffed with all the storage, too. Plenty of room, vintage touches everywhere, and the 70s pieces add so much nostalgia.

Happy Thursday x what ya think?

Anyone else remember when Stretch Armstrong went stiff? 😮

Enjoying collecting iconic retro toys to place in the annex.

What was your favourite toy of the 70s?
