Emmerson And Fifteenth

I'm midway through a big ass reorg of my website, and it's been fun/super cringey to look back at some of the older posts. I'll be honest, I'm gonna bin a lot of them! But not this little Ikea coffee table makeover from back in 2011...⠀ ⁠⠀ I basically couldn't afford a real coffee table, so I floofed this one up. It was fun. It worked. Job done.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more: bit.ly/lackmakeover⁠ @ Chicago, Illinois

One of the reasons it’s been a bit quiet around here lately is because I’ve been working on what will very definitely be the best Spin/Fitness Studio in South-West London. Probably everywhere, tbh. (Not that I’m biased.)

First off, did you know we have a new West Elm in Kingston? Second - and even more exciting - the lovely Emily Dawe will be there this weekend hosting a Christmas bauble decorating workshop. Tickets available through the link in Emily’s page (below). Thirdly, hi. It’s been a while! https://www.facebook.com/embolina12/

Excuse me while I casually hold this imaginary present in front of my Christmas tree and pretend I’m not sweating even though it’s actually August and like 85 degrees. (In HomeStyle mag this month.) 🎄

This gorgeous space by @simplysuzys via @westelm was serious inspiration for a family home project I've been working on and I can't wait to show you (and would, if I had time to blog!)

I am officially a student again. Back to school full time to study interior and spatial design - properly - at UAL, starting next week. I’m slightly freaking out (the kids are not happy about it and I already have no time!) but I’m also totally over excited. Bring it on. 😬😄

So London Design Festival is over, for me. It's still running through the weekend but I'm back in Mum-mode tomorrow. It was amazing, inspirational, and totally overwhelming. Sidenote: I bought this little string of pearls @thedesignjunction last year and I haven't killed it! Which is nice.

I'm a bit over excited about London Design Week. I've got my whole week mapped out. (This shot taken at Design Junction last year.) It's gonna be gooood. Who's going?

My lovely and very talented friend Martha from The Colour File has also been nominated for an Interior Blog Award in the Best Colour Inspiration category. Please hop over and vote for her too - she's fab! X http://www.interiorblogawards.com/vote/th e-colour-file/

I promise to shut up about this very soon, just putting one last call out there to ask you lovely people to vote for me (if you haven't already) in the Amara Interior Blog Awards. Voting closes on Friday. Thanks dolls!

Head to the blog to hear me bitching (and also raving) about the whole capsule wardrobe thing today... http://bit.ly/E15capsule

Yes way, duvet! 🤣 https://blog.westelm.com/…/top-10-ways- to-wear-a-duvet-thi…/

I've been nominated for the Best DIY & Home Blog in the Amara Interior Blog Awards, and I would so so appreciate it if you'd click over and give me a vote. It takes about 20 seconds!
I'm up against some fantastic blogs but if I'm one of the six most voted for, I'll make it to the shortlist which would be HUGE.
I definitely wouldn't complain if you could share this and ask your friends to vote for me too! Thanks lovely people xx

3/4 length curtains are kinda like burly dudes wearing capri pants: it's a hard look to pull off. We had some in this room for way too long but the new blinds are so much better, which is what I'm chatting about #ontheblog today (first post in weeks!) #linkinbio

Under-cabinet lighting installed by my five-year-old. Designer in the making, if you ask me 😆

Fancy a virtual nosey around some inspiring spaces? There's a new post on the blog, full of prettiness from my visit to Sweetpea and Willow a couple of weeks ago... http://bit.ly/E15sweetpea

I just got the go-ahead from our landlord to paint our living room. I cannot tell you how exciting this is! 🎉 Until that's all prettified, this living room has me at hello. The brick wall, the peach couch, the Beni Ourain...yes please, to all of it.⠀ I *think* credit goes to @bintihome but do correct me if you know any better!

Who says you can't go all out even if you live in a little terrace? (Dreamy bed from Sweetpea and Willow​) http://bit.ly/E15DecoBed
