@montyroadabode and have spent many a date day in a DIY or home interiors shop but we levelled up last week when we visited @neptunemarketharborough 🥰

Which room is your favourite? I ADORE that kitchen and now I want to live inside this shop or in fact any @neptunehomeofficial shop will do! 🙈💕

ad Turns out babies and open under-bed storage aren’t the best combination 😂

We needed a practical but pretty swap, and the Peggy Stone Ottoman Bed from @happybeds is exactly that. We're delighted with the change 🤎

If time could just slow down a little, that would be great 🥹

Everyone told me it would go fast, but genuinely I don't understand where the time goes! Florrie is crawling and climbing everything in sight... I need eyes in the back of my head, hence the silence on here 🫠
But wow, just the greatest privilege of all watching her grow ❤️

This is your sign to plant the wisteria! Future you will be very happy 💜
I wait all year for this moment and can confirm she has officially done ✨ her thang ✨

We're just finishing off a little garden / pergola refresh and somehow it’s all come together right as the blooms peak… perfect timing for once!

Anyone else feel like the garden suddenly wakes up overnight this time of year?

ad. Watch me turn our neglected balcony into a sanctuary, with a trip to @dunelmUK🫶🏼

This space hadn't been touched since last summer (and it showed!). With a proper reset, a lick of paint and some key pieces, we've totally transformed this space!

I’ve leant more into my indoor style this time, with softer tones, plenty of stripes and a more relaxed feel. I'm super happy with how 'me' it is 🥰

Now let's manifest some more sunshine so we can actually sit out here ☀️

Gosh, the people of the internet had a lot to say about our two tone green office! 🫢💚

This room is now our baby girl's nursery and I now love the dark green ceiling even more ☺️

We painted the bottom half of the room @vandcopaint Green shade 1, taped a straight line, then painted the ceiling Green shade 3. When it became the nursery, we painted the woodwork pink and added a matching bobbin trim 🩷 by @montyroadabode

When you plan a productive weekend in the garden but the weather has other ideas 😆

Rain, sun, hail and wind, love that for us. But we still managed to tackle a few garden jobs AND film content (nothing short of a miracle tbh). Can't wait for this one 👀

The snug is on my hit list for later this year. I've fully got the ick and I'm ready for a reset 😂 by @montyroadabode

ad my biggest regret... Not getting the newborn attachment earlier!

I couldn't recommend our @_____kaos_____ chair any more. Florrie loves watching me do jobs in the kitchen and having the newborn seat means I actually get things done😂

We love her being at the dinner at the table too 🩷

She's already so much bigger than this video 🥹 We're trying out the highchair attachment this week and be now cracking on with weaning, I am *not ready*. Any tips!?
The last 6 months have gone SO FAST

You don't need a new wardrobe, just this budget hack (cost just £50!) ✨

I've been moaning about these new build built-ins for years, but just didn't have the budget to change them! When decorating the nursery, I decided to try adding trim and it has completely changed the look 🥰

When I say anyone can achieve this, I mean it!! If you want to try it yourself, this is basically what we did:
– Measured and marked out two panels on each door
– Cut all trim at 45° angles on a mitre saw (like making a picture frame)
– Glued with No More Nails
– Caulked and painted for a seamless finish
- New handles - just cheapies from Amazon

It’s honestly wild how much of a difference it's made! DIY win 🙌

We used 'Astragal Moulding' from B&Q with a total cost of £50, borrowed my neighbour's Mitre saw and used up some leftover paint - @LittleGreenePaintCompany in Masquerade mid

P.s. this is OLD footage. I'm not totally insane 😂😂 by @montyroadabode

International Women's Day 💃🏼

Just a reminder that we can do anything we put our minds to, so ignore those looks at the DIY store and stop waiting around for your man to get those jobs done 🥱

Just a quick scroll through my feed today has reminded me how many amazing, inspiring and talented women there are our there. Keep smashing it. We got this 💪🏼

I love this project and it cost just £22!
