creating a cottage garden

Creating our cottage garden the 1 year anniversary. A full year of growing with our Rhino greenhouse and turning a neglected lawn into and garden. These last two seasons I’ve been spending time with my camera again, documenting the creation of our cottage garden, and here is a first-year update. Keeping on top of everything with our mental health intact […]

flower days – things that grew in may

Flower days and things that grew in may. A shelfie to share all the best blooms that were in the garden this late spring. From fragile poppies with tissue paper petals to tough pom poms of chive flowers. Bladder campion on wiry stems and sweetly scented sweet peas, there is calendula in abundance and an explosion of sweet rocket, arcs […]

steps barn – a beautiful bright airbnb in dorset

Posting about it here was not asked for as part of that collaboration but as everyone seemed to love the photos and stories, I thought you’d like to see more of the interior of this lovely place hidden away in a Dorset village. Want to see more? Come on in, the place is a treat! This magical barn conversion – Steps […]

pearl lowe’s bohemian beach house kitchen

Fancy a Friday interiors treat – how about a photo tour around Pearl Lowe’s Bohemian Beach House kitchen? My obsession with vintage-styled and rustic kitchens is well established (see more over here on my favourite Pinterest board). So when I got a peek of the beautiful kitchen designed by Pearl Lowe and her husband, Danny – my vintage-loving heart wanted to see more. […]

country home – a house filled with vintage magic

The owner of this magical place – Katy and I met years ago when we both worked in the beautiful Butlers Emporium. Our shared love for all things old and steeped in stories, raggedy lace and the marks that only time can make – was apparent from the day we met. Since that day I have been meaning to visit […]

Finally, our hand built kitchen is ready to reveal. We have had so much fun being able to cook and move around freely in here that this post has been a long time coming, thanks again for waiting! This project has been so much fun and the best bits have been finding and rescuing all the materials to make this […]

plant days with bergs potter

Hello, hello it’s been a while again, but I am back with some images we created for the Bergs Potter anniversary book. Such an honor to be asked to capture their beautiful Simona pots in our home and garden a while ago now, but you know me – always behind schedule. We have been selling these pots over in our lifestyle store The […]

designed to return to the earth

After a long hunt for an air purifier for our home and no purchase yet made, we were kindly gifted the new briiv air filter. briiv is designed to return to the Earth once no longer needed. It’s clever and eco-conscious design is effective at cleaning the air we breathe, without a high environmental impact. I really wanted to try briiv […]

renovation stories – a rustic green kitchen

Fancy a short promenade around our rustic green kitchen with me on this fine November day? All my photos of late have been of flowers and the garden, so I thought a small interiors detour would be fun before my autumn garden post goes up later. Back in Spring, we repainted the cupboards and pantry door from dark grey to […]

creating a cottage garden – autumn

As you probably know it gets a little wilder than usual around here at this time of year with the store, so I am swapping my monthly cottage garden posts for seasonal ones instead. Plus, what is left of the garden is quieter and resting too. This post is part of my paid collaboration series with Rhino Greenhouses creating a cottage garden […]
