20 Gorgeous Glam Office Supplies
I'm a sucker for lovely office supplies, I must admit. When I first decided to create a home office out of our second bedroom, the very first thing I purchased for it was an acrylic and gold stapler and matching tape dispenser from Kate Spade. I couldn't wait to have...
Taking a Little Break! (Just a short one!)
I just wanted to pop by to say I'm going to be taking a little break (just a week!) from the blog. Obviously, my blog is super important to me and I hate to go so long without posting but with friends coming to stay mid-week and another set of friends staying this...
Man Cave to Glam Snug: A (Long Overdue) Update!
So it's been 8 weeks since I shared any updates on the man cave and I actually feel rather guilty about that! The whole remodel has been a bit slow going with all the little crappy bits and pieces that needed boxing in/fixing that Wayne had been getting to as and when...
Going Bespoke: Marble & Brass Dining Room Table
Do you remember my blog post about things I think are a worthwhile investment in your home? One of those things was a dining room table and/or chairs. The way I see it, the table takes up a heck of a lot of the visual space in a dining room and so you might as well...
Buying Guide: Garden Furniture Edit
As you probably already know from me barking about it all over the blog and on social media, we've recently pretty much just completed our back garden. There's really not much left to do in our outside space other than sit around and enjoy it when the sun decides to...
7 Ideas to Make the Most of a Small Kitchen
I sometimes marvel at the size of the kitchens I see in blogs and magazines. Huge expansive spaces with built-in banquet seating, an island overlooking a dining area, spaces for a chair and a laptop, miles of worktop and huge American style fridge freezers - Oh, how a...
Summer Updates in the Bedroom
It's been a while since I shared my bedroom and as I'd made some little changes here and there to it over the last few months I figured I'd share it with you today. You may remember back in November where I gave the whole space a bit of a boho refresh and I loved it...
Getting the Look: Eclectic Boho Glam Garden Design
So on Monday, I kicked off a whole week of summer inspiration for the #UKHomeBlogHop where I shared my little garden update. Not only have I been so inspired by everyone's blog posts but I had such a lovely response to the design that I thought I'd explain a little of...
My Summer-Ready Garden Reveal #UKHomeBlogHop
Today is a good day. Why? Because today kicks off the #UKHomeBlogHop where 27 different UK bloggers are sharing their summer style with you with little ol' me as the host. At the end of this post, I'll be encouraging you to 'hop' to the next blog on the list (there...
DIY Bamboo Solar Lights with a Boho Vibe!
On Monday, I shared some of the updates we've been doing to get the garden summer ready. I love my pergola that we completed last year and while the entire thing is wrapped in tiny solar lights which light up at night, I wanted to include some larger hanging solar...
Getting the Garden Summer Ready!
So we've had some amazing weather the last couple of weeks and with that, I've been able to do a little refreshing in our garden which was sadly neglected all winter and really needed a bit of TLC! I thought today, I'll share a little bit of the progress we've made...
Man Cave to Glam Snug: The New Design Revealed
So on Friday, I shared some of the work currently underway in the cellar and today I want to share with you the plans for the design - so exciting! I've taken a slightly different direction than originally planned with this one and I wanted to explain exactly what my...
Man Cave to Glam Snug: An Update on the Messy Stuff!
So way back in late August/early September, I told you guys our next project was going to be updating the Man Cave. And then we finished the kitchen redesign a little later than expected and then winter came and we didn't do much of anything in the space. That's real...
House Dreaming: Why We’ll Be Moving
As much as I love our current house, it was never meant to be our 'forever home'. Having stepped up the property ladder from a much smaller new build into our Edwardian semi-detached house, it was our middle rung that would eventually get us to the one that would...
My Stunning Murano Glass Chandelier from Sogni Di Cristallo
I have wanted a Murano Glass chandelier for as long as I can remember. The exquisite skill required to blow these chandeliers is mind-boggling and their beauty is simply unmatched. In fact, I had a 'saved search' on eBay for the longest time, hoping that someone...
New Dressing Room Light Fixture and an Updated Tour
So I told you on Monday that I finally replaced the light fixture in my dressing room. This is actually the 3rd or 4th light I've had in here (I can't even remember anymore!) and while I liked the sputnik style one I'd had in here before, more than a year ago the...
Spring Updates in the Dining Room
So I mentioned that I'd swapped a few things around in the dining room when I shared a few updates in the living room last month. The biggest one: deciding on a whim to swap the rugs between the two rooms. I'd meant to show you the result of that swap soon after that...
My Valentine’s Day “Love Tray”
This is sort of a weird one because I wasn't planning on doing two Valentine's Day posts. My first one - the romantic breakfast table setting - was always on the cards but this one was a little more organic. I was sent an incredibly gorgeous tray by Sweetpea and...
Valentine’s Day Romantic Table Setting for Two
I don't really do Valentine's Day. There are a few reasons for this. First, my birthday is in late January, just one short month after Christmas and by the time Valentine's Day rolls around, I always feel like it's a little unfair to expect my partner to spend even...
How to Get the Luxury Hotel Look at Home
I had the chance recently to stay at the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho for my birthday. The rooms are luxuriously appointed, designed by Kit Kemp, and I must say, although we only stayed one night, it was a little slice of heaven. There's just something about the way luxury...
Winter Refresh in the Living Room
My original intention was to share a post on how I basically swapped lots and lots of things around in my home over my break. I often shop my own house when I'm itching for some change and the start of the new year, after the Christmas decor has come down, is normally...
How I Got My Office Back! Gold Shelving Unit and Updates…
I know you are probably thinking, "Wait. 'Back'? What do you mean you got your office back? Where did it go??" So... let me explain. If you've been reading Swoon Worthy for a while, you may know that back in the Spring of 2015, I was invited to be one of the 20...
My Goals for 2017
I've never been one for resolutions. They just seem very abstract ("get fit") or way too much pressure ("don't eat chocolate"). I am, however, all about setting goals for myself and for my home. Goals seem more manageable, something to work towards rather than trying...
The 2016 Swoon Worthy Year in Review
Hey all! I'm back! Happy New Year! Did you have a good one? Well, it's officially 2017 which is just crazy but well, here we are with a fresh new slate stretching out before us. As you know, I took a short break and daaaaamn, did it feel good. Recharging your...
