On Sunday afternoon (after a bout of serious cabin fever), we hopped in the car and found an oasis of calm and green in the middle of the city. Wide open spaces as far as the eye can see, cyclists, horse riders, hikers and runners… all the things that make you feel guilty (yet smug) for mooching around with an ice-cream and enjoying the last of the summer days. Maybe next time we’ll pack our running shoes!

It’s Monday and it’s a bank holiday here in the UK!! I plan to spend the day lounging in my pjs, eating leftover roast chicken, watching movies and catching up on blogs. I might even have time for a nap or 2! As you can hear, my mood has improved considerably and so in keeping with this, I wanted to post something bright and vibrant. I tend to gravitate towards more neutral pallets but every now and then I find a bright gem that I fall in love with… enter beautiful and eclectic Victorian North London flat! The navy and white colour scheme in the living room sort of follows on from my post on Friday and I love it more than ever after seeing this. And as ever, the kitchen stole the show – I love the unconventional wooden butcher block/shelving unit!
Thoughts?

It’s been a little stressful round these parts of late so apologies if it feels like I have been neglecting the wee blog (and yours) over the past week. My excuse is my crappy mood and I just can’t seem to lift it! I am pretty sure I am in some sort of post-wedding/honeymoon-bliss-funk. Is anyone else familiar with this syndrome? Can it be cured with chocolate and vast quantities of wine and reruns of New Girl? It couldn’t hurt though? So in an effort to lift my own mood (and perhaps yours if you happen to be feeling the same), I went searching for one of my favourite fashion colour combinations: navy and white. Could it be any more perfect?
Have a wonderful weekend all!
I realise that I am a little late to the party but if I am honest, I wasn’t even sure where I stood with the whole ‘acrylic furniture: cheap or chic debate’. After months of deliberation and seeing it used in a few of my favourite rooms, I am now a firm fan. I know this is nothing new and you have probably seen some of these oldies but goodies but I couldn’t resist putting this post together.
Need I ask whether you are a fan or not?
