Happy New Year insta & FB fam! 🤩💗
We are just back in the office after almost 4 weeks off. I must admit I was horizontal most of that time, (not completely by choice)….& my reason for being soooo quiet online. It was a great time to sit with & percolate on exciting changes & reveals we aim to make early this year, including a new website.

When I could be vertical again, I spent the most incredible day in the city with my gorgeous sons, investigating the new(ish) Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the incredible

We would highly recommend a visit, it’s on until April… I’m looking forward to visiting a second time before it closes. I loved her vibrant expression & seeing life through the eyes of a beautiful, eccentric, peace-loving soul. Was magnificent! Enjoy my happy snaps 🤩

Maybe it’s a sign of the times but we are doing a lot more ‘moody schemes’ at the moment.
This particular bathroom & laundry space went from- stark white, utilitarian, ‘hospital-like’, including visible washing machine, to- fully-integrated cool grunge. (We needed to reuse the client’s toilet suite & bath, so the floor tiles helped integrate the blocks of white into the otherwise darker palette).

It’s now a much more pleasant space to light some candles & enjoy a good soak. Budget was also a priority in this inner city studio apartment. We can work with that! Just needed to be a little clever…things like the tiles behind the mirror being inexpensive pool tiles! Shhhhh 🤫🤓😜

There is such a thing as tooooo much timber 😱
It is all about balance…
Knowing when to stop, or pull back. The timber floors became the feature.

This room was given a brand new life & was a pleasure to snuggle in 🥰💗

Home is where the hearth (& heart) is-

I still can’t shake this feeling of the need to pare back, be more grateful for & cherish what is most important in my life. Nostalgic feelings of security, home, the hearth & drama-free living being at the forefront for me.

Stepping back gently from a world with repeating cycles of lack & chaos. Being most available for mutual kinship, warm hugs & good hearty food, from wholesome sources. Choosing cozy optimistic environments, sprinkled with laughter, mutuality & shared dreams.

It may be a thoughtful response to what’s happening in the world, whilst also being a reflection of my own heart. I suppose my heart creating my environment & then my environment filling my heart…
I love to also help others do the same. It’s amazing how our lives can change when we transform where we live. Inviting more layers & textures.

After-all, I absolutely believe our living environments are a reflection of our psyche. We may as well have it rich & abundant. Clear out that which doesn’t serve us & fill it with the good stuff!

Is anyone else feeling it too? ☺️

Home is where the hearth (& heart) is for me. 🙂💗

Sharing some cozy creations… some maximalist & others, simple organic. All warm & inviting. 🤗
