Styling a guest bedroom

When we move we are hoping to have a small study space or extra guest bedroom where our friends can come and stay for a few days and explore the Welsh Capital. Being an expat means that I have lots of friends and family who I would love to visit and the prospect of being able to style a space like this is very exciting.  Of course space would be limited, a spare room would most likely be the small space such as a box bedroom so keeping things simple but stylish is key to making the most of the room. I have put together a little moodboard of a few key bedroom accessories I think would make the room feel welcoming, comfortable and cosy but still on trend.  1. In a small room the main furniture would consist of the bed, side table and small wardrobe so space for a large lamp may be limited so this Copper Desk lamp would be a great space-saving choice. 2. I love notebooks and when I travel it's often the time I feel most inspired to write something down, so ha......

Wintery picks for a cosy home

It may have been a very mild start to winter but today sure did feel colder with that fresh snap in the air. It's such a special time of the year, almost Christmas, fireplaces dressed up, the throws out on the sofas and time to make the home nice and cosy. There is something so comforting about going for a wintery walk to come back home to warm house, a cup of hot chocolate and some relaxing time with the family so I thought I would put together a few little things I have my eye on to bring in the cosy feel from now throughout the New year 1. Haden orange throw - Habitat £12 2. Hearthwick Cedar 16oz Candle - Fishpools £22 3. Thermosoft Prisma Red Throw - Fishpools £29 4. Glencoe pillow - Made.com £25 5. Knot Natural knitted Pouf - Habitat £75 This time of the year is all about those simple pleasures, nature fibres, big knits and warming fabrics, with the main aim of being a sense of comfort to these long evenings. I love these two throws with autum......

A few little things for the home

As usual over the Christmas period I picked up a few bits and bobs for the home as well as having a few new little treats as presents which has added a bit of renewed life to the smaller parts of our home, such as this lovely Jo Malone candle - we have been burning a lot of scented candles of late, I think it's a winter thing that we want to surround ourselves with beautiful scents. John also treated me to a vintage Pentax film camera which I cannot wait to use and we have been picking up fresh flowers for the kitchen to bring in some colour. I have also been struggling with dry and chapped lips over the winter so I have been using this naturally nourishing Green People Lip primer which not only locks in moisture and hydration but works well as a lipstick primer and enhances the natural colour of your lipstick and I have been pairing this up with my Green People Instant Definition lip crayon in Praline - a sort of plum shade which is perfect for Autumn and Winter. ......

Pregnancy update - 31 weeks

Wow I literally cannot believe that I am already 31 weeks pregnant - time has flown by unlike the first time round which seem to take forever but now I feel like I am running out of time to get things sorted such as the nursery and finishing the house. Saying that this week is all about relaxing and enjoying our last Christmas as a family of three and I thought I would make a little vlog about what has been happening over the past few weeks and the lovely things inside my ProjectB box this month as well as getting a few things in place such as the Totsbots reusable nappies which I cannot wait to use, especially the newborn birthday printed one - it's so cute. How cute is this TotsBots reusable newborn nappy  We used reusable nappies for around 6 months with Mr A but they ones we bought kept leaking all them time and we struggled with finding the correct size as Mr A had a really small waist - it meant they were fine for when we where at home but not practical out......
