Unconventional bedside tables can be a nice way to add some character to your bedroom OR if you can’t decide on a traditional option you can repurpose an existing piece from elsewhere in your home (like in my case 🤦🏻‍♀️). I would normally say you can use almost anything as long at the table height comes up to your mattress... but I don’t mind the occasional broken design rule 😉 Some fun options (and other items from this room) linked via my link in profile 👌🏼 xx http://liketk.it/2zZwU #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome Photo by @natashacadman
A Sunday well spent brings a week of content. There was no meal prep, laundry, or tidying this Sunday. Just loads of giggles, gratuitous amounts of sugar, and a small but healthy dose of sunshine. #happykidshappymom #sundayfunday
My amazing, beautiful, and brilliant sister-in-law (does that make up for all the trouble we put you through @clairemonkhouse?!) had the impossible task of finding a rental for us when we decided to move. We found this flat online and the location was ace so we sent Claire over to check it (and about 8 others) out - after two visits, a video tour, and a few dozen photos we decided to just go for it. Sometimes you need to faith in your abilities to make anywhere home (luckily this is my job) and hope to god your sister-in-law sucked at taking iPhone photos 😂. Swipe to see the only photo I had of this room before we moved! 🤯 Yes it’s the same room! Darker paint, WAY more clutter, closed shutters, and epic DVD collection 😂 #beforeandafter . Decor and similar items linked in profile! You don’t have to download the @liketoknow.it app but it’s a great way to shop your favorite posts!

Go get you daily dose of #interiorinspo - link in profile // tap this photo // read all about it 😉 #CurrentDesignInspiration
My favorite boy in the world turns SIX tomorrow. Going to fill his room with balloons, and his backpack with kinder eggs, and his pockets with Pokémon cards, and his belly with pizza 🥰 I’m so proud of how well he’s done this year with the big move and a new school and new kids. He’s a sensitive, determined, hilarious, creative, kind hearted little man and I hope he knows how much we love him. Any other birthday surprise ideas?? Come on Pinterest moms, I know you’ve got some suggestions!! 🥳6️⃣💙🎂
A little green always help with the winter blues 🌿 starting to seriously miss the warmer weather. I was thinking we are nearly to the end of it but the Brits keep reminding me this chill lasts till about April 😭 I’ve been checking the San Francisco weather report and it’s not much warmer (or drier) than Harrogate... and somehow that makes me feel better 😂 #californianinengland Photo by @natashacadman styled by #KatieMonkhouseInteriors
Heading to an event this morning to attempt to broaden my circle here in The North 🇬🇧 I’m the first to admit I am not great at these things. ‘Networking’ isn’t something I enjoy or excel at. I always feel like I’m on the outside trying to get in. I gracelessly insert myself into conversations and have a tendency to talk over people when I’m in a group (nervous tick? not sure). Then I become SUPER conscious of it and feel awful and then get more awkward.... So. Should be a fun day. 😂 #extrovertedintrovert #introvertedextrovert #isittooearlyfortequila This reading nook from our Mill Valley home office project last year, photo by @margaretaustinphoto pillows and throw from my favorite shop back in Cali @londonandwood Monochromatic pillows and throws 🙌🏻 follow the link in my profile and click this photo to shop - http://liketk.it/2zNEU @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home
Seeking out inspiration is part of the job when you work in a creative feild. I decided to get some of my current obsesseions on the blog for anyone who’s interested - and because I just love seeing so many pretty things in one place! Top of the list is British kitchen designers @devolkitchens - I’ve become a serious fan girl and I think you will feel exactly the same when you check out their work. They also sell some amazing vintage finds on their site! You know the drill - link in profile and click this photo for an eye full of inspo Xx
This is Willa - she’s as cute as she is devious and as funny as she is stubborn. She’s a master fake crier and teller of tall tales. She’s fearless to a fault and usually runs *towards* danger. She’s exhausting and frustrating and the most loving and delicious little thing I’ve ever met. She’ll give you a big juicy kiss and then slap you across the face. Kids are such a trip. I hope she never changes. #sundaythoughts #lifewithkids #littleandbrave #mygirl #momlife
