Catch up with The Home I Made
Taking a little break, recapping what I've been up to & hello spring!
I’m taking a little break from my usual newsletter this week and enjoying some quiet time in the countryside.
Yes, we’ve ‘lost’ an hour (clocks have gone forward, as if you didn’t know!), but I’m so here for the start of a sunnier season – aren’t you? Lighter mornings (although fellow parents, I FEEL you!), lighter evenings, warmer weather and time to (hopefully) ditch the knitwear. I heard the birds tweeting at 5pm the other day and it was a blissful moment of seasonal hope. And I now have multiple photos of daffodils, tree blossom and crocuses from my local park on my phone. It hasn’t happened unless it’s on your camera roll, right?
Anyway, while I’m away, why not catch up with my Substack so far? From setting intentions for the year ahead, decorating my home and 90s style to a look at influencers on social media and decluttering, keep scrolling for what you may have missed.
Have a great week and chat soon!

What's your house like? I'll tell if you will (with voiceover)
Listen to me chat about what my house is really like. Spoiler: it’s a mix of Insta-friendly corners and not-so-grammable kids toys.
The room I made: designing my green living room
And if you want to have a further nosy around, I go into more detail on my living room design, and how it all came together, in the first of The Room I Made mini series. There’s a voiceover on this one too.
10 interior styling hacks I learned while renting
I rented for more than 10 years before finally getting on the property ladder in 2022. Here are some interior styling hacks I learned…and still use today.
Sorting my life out & are we obsessed with stuff?
There’s something about the whiff of spring in the air that gets me ready for a good old sort out. Not to mention those brighter days are a reminder to book a window cleaner, stat.
These 90s interiors trends are live and kicking
Ready for a dose of nostalgia? Lilac cargo pants and bangs optional.
Are we tired of being influenced?
There’s a new word doing the rounds: de-influencer. I take a look at what it means.
New new year intentions
It’s never too late to set out what you want to achieve, I say. With no pressure.
As always, thanks for reading and catching up with The Home I Made. I’ll be back soon with more new-ness.
Oh and here’s one of those ‘spring is here’ photos from my camera roll. It’d be rude not to really…
