Inspiring Vintage Writing Desk

Hello everyone!

It has been unusually mild here in the UK for February, and it has been lovely to get some Vitamin D.  Although it does of course make you wonder why it’s been so warm….there have even been forest fires across the country which is just so scary.  Hard to believe it was pretty much exactly a year ago that we had The Beast From The East!

I styled this calm and tranquil writing area for the latest issue of Reclaim Magazine.  I love the touches of nature and quiet colours.  The scrapbook of magazine clippings is one of two that I made in the days before Pinterest.  I still love looking through them, as much as I obviously love Pinterest, there’s nothing like having something physical in your hands to look at.  My mum is coming to stay for a few days tomorrow, and she will bring her old copies of Country Living for me, so I can get cutting and sticking!

As you may have seen in my last post, I am having an epic clear out to prepare for a makeover in my attic.  So I’m currently living in chaos, whilst I try and sort to what needs to be recycled/go to charity shop, and what needs selling on Gumtree.  It all takes so long!  I know it will all be very much worth it, but right now I can’t seem to see the wood for the trees.  Anyway, a big ‘thank you!’ in advance to mum who is coming to give me a bit of a hand with it all, she’s a superstar!

Anyway, wishing you all a very ‘Happy First of March’ today or tomorrow, depending on where you are in the world!  Time for spring florals, blossom, pretty pastels and Mini Eggs!  It’s never too early for Mini Eggs is it?
