Firstly, let me apologise for my absence of late. Many
things have kept me distracted. Firstly, my long time boyfriend finally
proposed after 10 years (!) of “courting”. As you can imagine, I have 10 years
build-up of marriage related ideas which I had to explore immediately. This has
lead me to look into designing my own wedding stationary and has developed into
a little business idea. So, with daydreaming of weddings and my possible
business venture (which shall remain an idea for a little while longer I
imagine, if ever becomes anything more) I have not thought about anything
remotely interior design based which would be worth noting on here. Add to
that, my daughter is at a rather interesting age (10 months now, blimey its
gone fast) and is trying her level best to walk. This is causing me to be both
physically and mentally exhausted come the evening, when I usually dedicate my
spare time to The Blog.
BUT, did you notice
spring has suddenly arrived?! Yes folks, spring is officially here and the
fresh spring light has shined through my windows and into my humble home… which
is still in need of decorating. And in true spring-cleaning like gusto, I’m
back on the case and keen to get cracking again.
One room which has not been touched yet is our Spare
Bedroom. For a long time, in fact since we moved it, it has been a junk room.
All the stuff which we’d acquired in our old house and didn’t have a place for
has been piled up and I had mentally closed the door to the issue. Temporarily.
But with lovely weather and that burst of energy that seems to come with
spring, I’ve managed to clear most of it away. So, now to the fun part: getting
a moodboard together.
I’m LOVING yellow at the moment – not sure if I’m a couple
of years behind a trend here or too trendy for my own good, but there is not a
vast amount of yellow currently on our high streets. Green, yes. Teal, yes.
Red, yes. Yellow… not so much. But it’s such a gorgeous colour in my opinion,
so fresh and gender-neutral, I’m really keen to use it in our Guest Bedroom. I’m
also looking for a little bit of a quirky edge on it too, and would love to
incorporate a 50’s vibe. So, for the time being, I’ve done a little sketch and
am working on a moodboard. Most of our furniture will be second hand here, so I
want to pull it all together by making bold statements of Black, White and
Yellow. Its gona be great… trust me, I’m a designer.
