Week 1 - January 2020

Wednesday 1st
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! I’ve had the most delightful week spent with the fam whilst enjoying a little impromptu Insta-break.

I’m still somewhat caught in the Crimbo-Limbo & thought I’d take the opportunity to share some of my faves from 2019.

To start us off in true Blue Peter style, here’s one I prepared earlier....my office, a project I completed back in the spring as part of a paid partnership with @earthbornpaints I’m so VERY proud of this space & I’d like to take the opportunity to say a huge heartfelt thank you to everyone at Earthborn Paints. Thank you for having me as one of your 2019 claymates and for allowing me to let my creative juices run wild, whilst totally embracing my love of colour and pattern! 🙌🏼🌈

Here’s to lots of exciting new projects to come in 2020! 

The Patterned Palace Office

Saturday 4th

….and we’re off!!

I jumped into 2020 with both feet yesterday. Starting with a good long walk in the sunshine, beginning my walk 1000 miles 2020 Next up was clearing out the space under the stairs. I’ve spent ages trying to talk MrD into getting this job done (too many spiders for my liking!) and finally had a breakthrough when I suggested we turn it into a wine cellar!! Haha! Wish I’d thought of it earlier!

Today after my walk, whilst I still have MrD’s full attention we’re going to get his office sorted. It’s currently housing bags and boxes of Christmas decorations that need putting away, a chest of drawers that hasn’t quite made it upstairs to our bedroom and a mountain of ironing! Hopefully, if this room is tip-top for his return to work on Monday, the temptation for him to use the kitchen/dining room as his office will be a thing of the past!!

Happy Saturday, it’s gonna be a busy one!

**Heres the Peace Accent Chair in mustard velvet💛I helped to make it last year as part of a paid partnership with @dfs when I spent an amazing day at their Bridge Mills design studio. You can read all about it here

Sunday 5th

…....And so the Christmas holidays draw to an end. MrD’s back to work tomorrow and these two will be back to enjoying some peace and quiet in the house! We rounded off the holidays with a weekend of wonderful dog walks, so they’re probably looking forward to a week recovering on the sofa!

I, on the other hand, will be making big plans for new projects. With so many ideas bobbing around in my head I desperately need to get them written down fast before I forget what they are! Haha!
Wishing you all a fabulous first full week of the new decade!
**Please spare a moment to embrace, not only my two beautiful pooches but also my gorgeous @orlakiely Mimosa snuggler which was VERY kindly gifted to me last year by the delightful people @barkerandstonehouse 🧡🙌🏼
