Traveling with kids ain’t easy - actually, I take that back - traveling with a 2 year old ain’t easy. Louie’s a pro, 10+ hours of non-stop TV and snacks is basically his idea of heaven. Traveling with Willa is like wrestling an alligator in phone booth. For better or worse... here we go. Again. See you soon, San Francisco ✌🏻🇬🇧✈️🇺🇸 #travelingwithkids #thattransatlanticlife #wheelsup
Two bedroom photos in a row - I am not very good at planning content am I?! Just obsessing over this mirror at the mo. Adding a rounded piece to your space creates nice variation in shape and helps break things up. It’s just fresh isn’t it? And who doesn’t love some curves? Enough with the hard edges people, let’s soften things a bit 😉 The piece was scored at a @thewhitecompany sample sale. When you move to Yorkshire you learn to love a bargain, it’s part of the culture.
Next week we head back to California to meet with some new clients and install phase one of a really fun project. I’m SO damn excited to get back to some hands-on design work 😆 I’m really lucky that I have amazing clients that are cool me with me working remotely but I seriously miss digging in and running around and touching and doing. That’s where the magic happens! Also planning a trip early next year for more installs and to get some photographs of these beauties - thinking you may be getting bored of my flat 🙈 So... while I plan to really focus on finding local clients for 2019 - happily doing the transatlantic thing for now 🇬🇧✈️🇺🇸🙌🏻 PS this bedroom and their gorgeous dining room is one of those ‘need to photograph’ projects!!

Just wanted mantel photo 🤦🏻‍♀️ #accidentalselfie Oh well 👋🏻 Hi! Jumped into the holiday decorating today and realized I have three mantels to play with! THREE! Trying to work with what I’ve got and not add to our holiday decor since I JUST cleared it out before the move. But just incase you are looking to update your collection, I’ve pulled together some seriously beautiful items for you to shop 🎄Use the link in my profile and click on this photo for some timeless, minimal holiday decor - what style are you going for this year? Scandi? Maximal? Traditional? #LTKholidayathome #LTKholidaystyle http://liketk.it/2yDkx #liketkit @liketoknow.it
#mondayreset turned into a Monday-rearrange-my-plants-and-books. Totally normal, right? On my to-do list today was coming up with blog topics for next 3 months.... and after about 5 minutes of staring at the page I thought JUST ASK THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! So tell me, what do you have going on in your home? Big projects for 2019? Pain points? Decorating disasters?! Furniture needs? Tell me EVERYTHING! 🙏🏼✍🏻🏠 This nook look 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2yC2V #liketkit @liketoknow.it
I know it’s Friday but I’m dreaming of finding a little studio space to make my own here in 🇬🇧 My in-home studio in California gave me a designated work space with all my books and samples and I really miss that! Just don’t have the spare room in the flat to claim for myself. I think an office is a must for the new year. Maybe I’ll ask Santa... 😊 #designstudio #wishlist Photo by @margaretaustin_photo
This bathroom has turned into a Pinterest superstar so I thought it deserved a blog post 😉 Yes, I’ve dusted off the old blog and wrote a little (probably too much) about this sweet family bathroom back in California. It’s been a while since I had a bathroom remodel project - ould definitely like more of these soon, please 😬🙏🏼
Monday = Sanity. My new mission is a full reset every Monday. Drop kids at school, hit the gym for a quick sweat, blitz the flat and getting everything back in order, breathe, set intensions for the week, get on my computer and get to W O R K. It’s all great in theory, let’s see how it goes. So far, so good. P.S. the flat has really come together over the last week, excited to share more soon!
Progress photos from California projects 🙌🏻 This room has been a long time in the making but getting so close to the finish line. Chandelier is on its way and we will eventually recover these chairs with some seriously gorgeous fabric and add a rug. Thankful for clients that are more like collaborators and still let me help with their homes from 7,000 miles away 🙏🏼 So happy their family gets to have #thanksgiving here tomorrow! // On another note, my mother is visiting this week and we are putting on a Thanksgiving feast for the brits! Only issue so far is we can’t find a TURKEY in Harrogate 😂 Yup. No fresh birds until closer to Christmas so we are hitting up all the local butchers tomorrow and have some large chickens on standby. No worries tho - I’m only in it for the sides. 🦃🇬🇧🤪
