I can't believe its been 9 days since this happened but I had an absolute pinch me moment when I attended the 𝐮𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡.𝐜𝐨𝐦 home awards in Londons fancy Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel as a finalist for Best Entertaining Space. It was one of THE best experiences I've ever had, surrounded by other interior enthusiasts, designers and big name brands - but imposter syndrome was real! I didn't win but I did come 2nd and out of 1400 entries, then to make the final 5 and then have a panel of judges decide to choose my design/space as second is HUGE 🥹 plus i got to meet some fabulous people and even the Dulux dog 😆

I also absolutely adored my dress too 🩷 made by the incredible Sally Sally Jones I felt like a superstar for a day 🥰🩷

Ever the DIY-er, can we take a moment for the fact I got my glue gun out and made a matching cover for my splint 😆

Anyway, so much has happened since this day which I will eventually fill you in on!

And there's always next year to take home an award 🤭

It's just one week to go until the 𝐮𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡.𝐜𝐨𝐦 home awards are hosted in London! Our garden bar, which we named The Well Inn (after we found a Victorian well when doing the extension in the garden!) is up for an award for Best Entertaining Space and I still can't quite believe it ✨️

It's been quite a year after having major hip surgery and now, recently losing the ability to use my right hand (for reasons still unknown 😕) so when I tell you, I am looking forward to this so much, you best believe me!

I can't wait to meet some of the other finalists across all of the categories, it's going to be an amazing event and I'll be sure to take you all with me 🩷

Have a super day!

There's been a few new faces in this little corner of the internet lately, so I thought I'd re-share some of my favourite spaces in our home in one single post for those of you who love a still photo 📸 along with some facts you may not know about those spaces 😉

The last one I'm manifesting *hard* as the 𝐮𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡.𝐜𝐨𝐦 awards are next month ✨️

Which is your favourite space? Let me know in the comments 🥰

Ok so I'm a bit of a fairweather camper BUT rain happens right?! This may be controversial but I’ve discovered a little camping hack.

Awning absolutely soaked and you need to pack it away? Don’t panic… and definitely don’t start folding it up like a soggy towel. 😂

Get the wet vac out and suck that water up! Who knew a window vac could come in so handy!

Why not save this for your next trip, and follow me for more tips for your home and garden (and now your camper too) 😘

If you have lavender in your garden (especially if you planted it this year) then take this as your reminder to cut your lavender right back this month if you want beautiful, bushy plants again next year! 💜

Don't go all the way down to the wood, just cut down to a few inches above the start of the green part of the stems - don't overthink it! The important thing is to prune them to avoid them becoming too woody in future years!

Bonus tip- don't throw away your old lavender stems, put them to one side to dry them out and check out my next post for what to do with them around your home 😊

Why not save this post for later, and if you've just found my page, I share tips on how to make your home and garden beautiful on a budget, so why not follow for more!

Not only do I seem to have lost my insta mojo, but my house looks like this 😆 and these are the 'tame' rooms!

Take this as your friendly reminder that its absolutely fine if your house looks like this too! Its completely normal 🥰

Am I right?! Please don't tell me I'm alone ❤️
