lets get planning

We're being graced with bright blue skies, a glorious winter sun and puddles of hale which I like to imagine is snow but deep down, I know it's a little early for that. Its fair to say I can not get enough of this time of year - some people are summers biggest fan but me, I'm pretty sure A/W was made for me. I think there's something very special about winter and the effect it has on us. For me it's those crisp winter days where you can layer up, wear gorgeous big coats and just indulge - whats not to love about that? And don't even get me started on woodland walks, call me a geek but I enjoy seeing a robin or two this time of year, you could possibly whisper *nature nerd* for all I care, it makes my little heart flutter.

A/W really brings out the festivity in me and later on today I'm going to write a (note to self - realistic) list of things I want to do before the year ends: things I've put off during previous years, or even something as silly as painting my nails or trying out a new recipe -  I'll write them down and actually look forward to achieving these little goals I set myself. Basically I think we all need a push sometimes and us as humans, we just wait around and put everything off until last minute aka never at all so I guess my quote of the day is to 'just get on with it' or 'go with your gut' and do all those things we should of done last week/month/year, afterall resolutions shouldn't just be for New Years.

I'd love to know if anyone else is making the most out of the year we have left, small or big, leave a comment and warm us all with your goodness.

p.s if you've made it this far, ta very much - you're a star

DIY headboard envy

Headboards. Personally it's something we've needed since we started living together but we never got around to actually getting one.. Don't judge me. I'm all about creating something you need yourself so all these headboards are unconventional, yet clever ways of doing exactly that. I love all of them and I'm pretty damn grateful all these talented people chose to share their ideas on the world wide web.. but I mean if I had to choose my top 2 favs (tough times) it would have to be the first 2 simply because of 3 things - bright white rooms, wooden panels and simplicity. 

The image below is a complete favourite of mine - I'm a huge fan of this panelled headboard, the quote 'awake my soul' (a Mumford and Sons song) and the hanging photos are such personal touches, it's a clear winner in my eyes.

Weekend Joy

image via house to home

If your weathers anything like mine today creating your own magical secret garden inside will be our only option. It's my last weekend off before I go back to work and although I've loved sleeping in a few minutes longer (naughty body clock), I am looking forward to getting back into a routine and being super busy again! 

Have a lovely weekend!..

H&M Home: Harbor Lounge

Forever lusting over H&M Home. Anything rustic really works so well with industrial pieces (big love of mine) and for me personally I find every collection of H&M's is perfect and so affordable! When I received their news email I couldn't wait to scroll through their images and save a sneaky one to my phone as I am such a geek like that! In my future house I don't plan a room without at least one exposed brick wall or wooden panels so of course I'm crazy about these images. Harbor Lounge is right up my street so take a look for yourself.

Little things

I love love love neon lights. They're everywhere at the moment and when we have a place to call our own I've kinda promised myself we (meaning I) will get our initials or a personal quote/lyric. He's so unaware of this but he loves me and doesn't really have a choice. Smiles.
