Tuesday 17th

So here I am, sitting making plans.....hmmmm 🤔just think of all the jobs we could get ticked off the to-do list whilst we’re confined to these four walls....toilet rolls?...naaah, I’m off to stock up on wallpaper paste and some shiny new paint brushes!

Making plans at The PatternedPalace

Wednesday 18th

Wallpaper Wednesday strikes again! Today I’m featuring my most fabulous @eleanorbowmer Pink Leopard Print wall in my office 🐆

I knew, the moment Eleanor launched her wallpaper range that I had to find somewhere in the house to sneak this one in. In fact, the entire colour scheme in here was based around this wallpaper (oh, and a mint green lamp I’d bought from @homesense_ukie ) Obvs, this being the Patterned Palace an’all, I couldn’t stop at the wallpaper and had to continue with the riot of colour & pattern by stencilling the floor and painting stripes & shapes on the other walls!
All in all, I’d say this is my most successful room makeover to date.....although now, with all this time I’ve got on my hands, who knows what incredible transformations could follow!
**office makeover was part of a previous paid partnership with @earthbornpaints 💚.....I wrote a blog about it if you fancy a read, the link’s in my bio.

Friday 20th

I’m hoping my kids are both returning to the nest today. My son lives alone in Leeds and has apparently set up a brilliant workspace in his studio flat. He loves his own company and to be honest I’m not sure he really wants to come home. My daughter on the other hand, has recently moved down to London & quite fancies spending her time back here but is torn because her boyfriend wants to sit it out in their lovely new flat and she doesn’t want to leave him alone.
I’m just thankful it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday & they both feel it’s important for them to spend some time with their mum. What they don’t know yet, is I plan to kidnap the pair of them and keep them here safe under my wing until this whole shenanigans is over!
Whatever you do though, don’t tell them ....Mum’s the word!! 🤫

Bored with staying home already? Struggling to find stuff to do? Here’s an idea.....try colour blocking a shelfie! Super easy to do and really fun to look at. Just decide on your colours then shop your home and fill your shelves!

Bob’s your uncle Fanny’s your aunt!!

This time last year wrote a blog post about how to style a shelfie. Click here to give it a read & get some more shelfie styling ideas.
Happy Shelfie Shaturday! 😂
