Apologies for the lack of post on Wednesday (honestly, does anyone even notice if I don’t post 3 times a week? I’m kind of doubting it to be fair – ha!) – after coming back from Wales, I had quite a bit to catch up on this week and I just couldn’t seem to get my brain in gear, so yeah, my normal schedule shall hopefully resume soon because I’ve got lots coming up!
I did a bit of styling with Sainsbury’s which I’m sharing with you on Monday, I’ve got more DIY videos in the mix with Swiftcover, a book review of a really stylish interiors book from one of my favourite bloggers, obviously we have to finish up the dining room so will hopefully be sharing the fireplace with you really soon as well as the full reveal! May will certainly be a busy month!
So as always, I just like to give a little shout out to those sites which featured my blog over the last month because nothing makes me squee harder than a little Swoon Worthy mention – I’m always a little amazed to be honest which after 5 plus years of blogging, you’d think I’d be all, ‘yeah whatevs’ when it comes to being featured but erm. No. I still get all giddy I promise. So yeah, here goes…
- I was thrilled to be featured in Rustoleum’s supplement Make It Yours in Your Home Magazine alongside some other amazing DIY bloggers.
- Jali featured a lovely little history of my shelving units in my kitchen which yes, I purchased from them long long ago and still love. It was so nice how much research they did on this piece and I was completely unaware of it until they tweeted it! Thank you!
- I contributed to The Farthing’s post, 28 Design Ideas for Your Living Room where I talked about why I love my dining room. Lots of other bloggers and designers also spoke of their favourites so check that out.
As per usual, I’ve been chatting about interiors for various websites over the past month or so and so I’m rounding them up once again in list format to make it easier for you to have a look when you get some time this weekend and fancy a bit of light reading! Of course, I wouldn’t expect anyone to read ALL of these (that would just be crazy talk) but if something catches your eye, then I’d love for you to have a little look.
