My Sanctuary is my Home

To feel relaxed my home needs to be tidy. With two young children, this is certainly something that can be difficult. My son, in particular, is a literal hurricane and both Jamie and I feel like we’re constantly picking up after him. I know he’s only three but if I’m honest it’s something that really gets to me and is so frustrating. I’m not talking a few toys either, it is huge amounts!! Whilst I’m trying to be a calm mamma I often feel I’m on the verge of erupting! If you have any tips to help encourage him to help that would be amazing! I know he can do it as well as he’s always getting helper of the day at nursery – making it even more frustrating! I think I need to buy some stickers to help encourage him.

Any way, enough of my ranting on typical mum woes – Having fallen out of love with our home a few years ago and us waiting a couple more years before we buy our next home, I decided I needed to fall back in love. I have worked hard on decluttering, decorating and creating spaces that maximise good vibes. I haven’t spent loads of money either but I have definitely fallen back in love.

One of the spaces I worked on is our hallway. I was very kindly gifted some items from Wayfair – my goodness how amazing is that site?! It’s now such a welcoming enterance, I immediately get that “ahhh” feeling when I arrive home.

I have added a Radiator cover which has made a huge difference. Before we had a side table for our phone and internet hun and it just made the space incredibly cluttered. Now it’s much more open, and clutter free. I have also framed our wedding card bag from our special day and placed a wreath. I also have finally replaced our broken Lightshade with a grey and copper detailing which really reflects the style of the rest of our homes interior. To complete this part of our home we’re looking to add a rug runner and a free standing plant too.

I’m really enjoying writing these interior posts and it’s a lovely way to document the progress too. Keep your eyes peeled for another home interior post soon!
