Ten minutes. Soft window light. A cheap curtain. The word ‘peekaboo’. Sometimes you don’t need much more to create a little magic* ✨ *except Oreos, for bribery purposes. No shot, no biscuit. Thems the rules.
So, who wants to come and stay with us? I’ve been working on finishing decorating a second guest room to list on @airbnb since we are so busy with our main guest room. We often have repeat guests, a few local workers who want regular days each week and of course lots of family and friends. Both the girls barely leave my side at night, so it seems silly to have two bedrooms kept for them that they don’t use. I am not entirely sure what I am aiming at with decorating our house just now...it’s a slow process because I like to collect things over time rather than rush out and buy everything at once. I prefer weird old things to brand new things, and it means with every bit of treasure I find, my style takes a little unexpected twist. It’s as much a surprise to me as anyone! But, I’m almost there with this room. It just needs a touch up of paint, different coloured bedding and some home comforts for guests and it’s ready to list. What do you think? #ourhitchinhome
Hello! It’s been a while since I showed my face on my feed...well, here it is. Tired, but happy, if a little fragmented. I am deep in the most imperfect season of my life. My house is a mess, I don’t sleep more than 2 hours at a time, I can’t hold a sensible conversation, I am behind on life admin, house renovation work and just about everything else you can think of. I wear the same clothes all week, only manage a wash every 3-4 days and my diet is 80% marmite toast. But my kids are happy, clean and well fed. We make it through the day, every day, and we rate cuddles in bed, walks in the park and movie afternoons higher than cleaning the house and seeming like we have our shit together. But, it’s all good. Nothing lasts forever, sleep will return and so for now I’ll just hug my babies tight, sink my face into my favourite scarf (a sleep deprivation present to myself) and hang in there until I can emerge from this fog of exhaustion. Thanks for all your messages of solidarity and kindness on my stories today, I am just keeping it real and I appreciate you all telling me I’m not alone 🖤✨
After almost 3 weeks of a very stubborn cold, we’ve all turned a corner and the fog of sickness and sleep deprivation is lifting. Things feel easier, everyone is happier and a little more rested. And it’s Friday today! One of our favourite days, when there is no nursery run to rush out to, just a 10.20am ballet class and a mooch around the antique shops in town. I wonder if we will find some treasure? It’s a day that restores and re-sets us and I breathe a little sigh of relief each time it comes around. Wishing a happy Friday to you, friends. I hope it’s calm, I hope it’s kind, and I hope you find yourself some treasure ✨ #ourhitchinhome
This lampshade was a second hand score from a local vintage shop, only a fiver! I love taking my time to decorate, waiting to stumble across the right thing rather than buying everything I need all at once. I do get frustrated often that I’m not making progress quickly enough, but whenever I rush things I almost always regret it. I prefer to fill my home with things that tell a story, that remind me of the people and places I bought them from. I go hunting in town at least once a week, and am often the crazy lady pushing a buggy with one hand and carrying a large lamp, table, mirror etc on the other. No wicker lampshade left behind! How about you? Are you into second hand stuff for your home? If you are, where is your favourite place to shop? Tell me all your secrets...
