Spring equinox, a time to celebrate colour

Spring always feels like a little festival for me as we come out of the cool shades of winter in nature and into a burst of blossom pink with fresh greens, shortly followed by the yellows and lilacs the Easter period brings with it. I admit the colour tones of spring aren’t “my” colours, I’m […]

Black lives matter in the design industry!

What a week! It’s been a week of many emotions for anyone with an inch of care & compassion. I didn’t know what to post today, all I knew is that I wanted to post something. I, like many have spent the week quietly trying to educate myself on the engrained prejudices our society still […]

Budget Friendly Interior DIY Projects

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 […]

Colour & Design Inspo from Switzerland & the French Alps

I’ve just returned from a trip to Switzerland to beat the January blues & visit my sister’s new home. It’s a country I’ve never visited before so was keen to see as much of the place as possible in 5 days. We spent the weekend across the border in Chamonix as the boy wanted to […]

Modern Rustic Airbnb in Spain

Last year I completed an epic remote interior design project, a 3 bedroomed townhouse with 2 bathrooms & a garden. The property is used as a holiday let so all planning, budgeting and shopping lists needed to be completed remotely…from the U.K…for a property in Spain! Sourcing everything took a while as I needed to […]

Norway – August 2019

Back in August (what seems like a lifetime ago) we headed back to one of my favourite countries, Norway. This was our fourth trip to Norway and I could go back tomorrow happily & find so many new things to do and see, for such a small country with so few daylight hours it has […]

August Lust List – Earth-Friendly with Etsy

This months Lust List is a slightly different format so that I can give each of these innovative products the word count they deserve. Etsy are holding their first ever global design awards this September (The Etsies) and one of their categories of finalists is Earth-Friendly (so it should be right!?). The Earth-Friendly category contains […]

Holiday Let Spain – Interior Design Project

This Spanish townhouse on the Southern coast of Spain has been a holiday rental for some years but was in major need of some updating. I used the traditional base of marble, terracotta and white paint to build a tropical rustic vibe for the house that perfectly suits its 5 minute walk proximity to the […]

Sustainable & Styling Dining Chair Edit

I haven’t written about chairs in what seems to me like forever, which is odd since they are my favourite element of an interior design project to source and style. I’m not joking about the chair love, we have quite a number of books about chairs here at LMH and have been known to visit […]
