Staying positive

Working from home throughout the majority of May, has had its distractions! I've spent time working on my property, updating some of the interiors as well as enjoying the outdoors, maintaining the house exterior and garden.

Undeniably, May has been tough for so many, and isolation can be very debilitating. Staying positive can be so challenging during these times; It's not always easy to stay productive and focus on the 'good things' when so much is changing all around us.

I've found pleasure, putting design ideas that I've found inspiring on my travels, over recent years, into place in my home environment. Details from historic hotel lobbys, and entrance foyers, architectural garden details from homes I've visited, and soft furnishing ideas from some of my favourite international retailers.

This month, while we've been spending time at home, I discuss ways of finding inspiration from your past experiences and memories. Creative inspiration can come from so many things, it's all in the eye of the beholder...
