There’s a new online magazine that I wanted to tell you about. It’s called Seamless Design and is an online magazine filled with inspiration for living both stylishly and sustainably (basically what I’m all about right?). The magazine will be published biannually with the first edition launching yesterday. How exciting to have some new reading to help going into week 5 of lockdown here in … Continue reading Seamless Design Online Magazine
I want to start by saying that I hope everyone reading is keeping safe, well & staying home as much as possible. I’ve only ventured to the village shop once all week & I think the fact that we’ve had such beautiful sunshine here in the UK for our daily walk has made me feel less claustrophobic than I assumed I would. If you’re finding … Continue reading Budget Friendly Interior DIY Projects
As anyone who has followed this blog or LMH across social media will know, I LOVE designing kids spaces. Bedroom’s, playrooms, boys, girls IDC I just love making a fun, multi functional space that I know kids are going to love. So, when we moved into our temporary rental hope I was a little disheartened that I couldn’t provide my own imaginative little boy with … Continue reading Creating a pirate bedroom on a budget – Ikea hack!
The Christmas table is probably my favourite element of decorating the house for Christmas, I love it (probably as I love eating & drinking so want somewhere well dressed to do so)! This year I’ve been very conscious of the throw away elements to a Christmas table, favours, napkins, crackers etc & have tried to cut back on as many of these things as possible. … Continue reading A Natural Christmas Tablescape – AD
This Christmas is going to be a little different to previous years and much more parred back due to us having recently downsized AND moved into rented (with all of the restrictions that go with that). This means that our Christmas decor, which is usually pretty OTT with the rustic vibe and fairy lights, twigs & wreaths hanging from every wall. Do you remember my … Continue reading Sustainable Natural Christmas Moodboard
Don’t get me wrong, I love a themed few weeks in October where the majority of our activities are Halloween based & I love creating meals for our family with pumpkin & lots of sweet treats but what I don’t feel the need for is a mountain of cheap, throw away plastic decorations & costumes that every supermarket seems to put in our faces to … Continue reading A Natural Halloween
Anyone else need to keep every gin (or other spirit) bottle as they are just far too beautiful to throw away & they’re way too easy to upcycle? I keep them all & sometimes keep wine bottles too if they’re a good shape. Bottles are such a versatile item to upcycle, they can easily be made into lamps, vases or my personal favourite…candlesticks! You can … Continue reading Upcycling with Gin (kind of) – AD
Before Christmas Valspar paint challenged me to upcycle a piece of furniture using their standard wall emulsion and their primer. I was sceptical of the durability of using wall paint on a piece of furniture that was going to be getting a lot of wear and tear but went with it as if it worked (which it did, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this post!) … Continue reading Upcycling Furniture Challenge
It’s December…finally time to get the house decorated for Christmas and play Christmas music non-stop. I’m so excited, it’s my favourite time of the year and I have to admit there have been some festive decorations creeping into our home over the last week or so but I always leave the tree until the first weekend in December (a girl has to have some boundaries … Continue reading Decking The Halls – 2018
I think it would be fair to say that we have all been enjoying the British summer over the last few months, right? Dining outdoors is a huge part of outdoor living here at LMH, impromptu BBQs and drinks in the garden are one of the things I’ll always remember from summer 2018. In the hope that we still have another couple of months left … Continue reading Summer Dining Table
