As you may have noticed if you read this blog frequently, I like to day dream about home interiors, and put together mood boards, wish lists and various other collections of homey type things… in the hopes that one day money and space will be no object!

I’ve finally started making our home feel festive! I feel like the world has started putting up their decorations earlier than normal this year, I spied a couple of trees on my instagram feed in November would you believe? Anyway, what with all the illnesses we’ve been enduring, and the miserableness of Sam being… Read More
