Back in January I pressed pause on buying new clot Back in January I pressed pause on buying new clothes. 4 months in, it’s changed more than I expected.

I’m already pretty mindful with shopping, but even the secondhand impulse buys were starting to add up. This just helped me slow everything down.

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far:

✨ I’ve rediscovered pieces I forgot I owned: When nothing new is coming in, it’s easier to actually *see* what’s already there.

✨ I’m planning even more intentionally: Anything on my wardrobe wish list gets revisited, reconsidered and in some cases, just plain removed!

✨ I’m more aware of my changing tastes:  Some purchases were definitely just moods or passing fancies. Focusing on my current wardrobe makes that really obvious.

I still have 2 months to go, but I’ll be honest, I already feel more at home in my wardrobe than I have in a while.

✨outfits from my wardrobe: I’m a secondhand, wear what you own kind of girl, so no shopping hauls here…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as we turn our h If there’s one thing I’ve learned as we turn our house into a home, it’s that rooms don’t come together overnight.

Instead, they go through a slower kind of transformation, evolving little by little.

I think there’s this idea that we need to buy loads of new stuff to make a space feel like home, but I think it’s more about rediscovering things you already had, moving things around and if you are buying, buying with intention.

It’s not perfect, and it’s definitely not finished, but it already holds little pieces of me.

Because it’s not just decorating, it’s curating peace… and the magic is in letting it come together slowly.

Did you know you can visit Highclere Castle, where Did you know you can visit Highclere Castle, where they filmed Downton Abbey?

I’ve been wanting to go for years and I finally made it!

About an hour outside of London in Hampshire, the interior of the house and some of the exterior were used over the course of the show. 

Photography isn’t allowed inside but we got to see the library, the grand staircase and the bedrooms that were used in the show. 

The extensive gardens are also pretty impressive and we lucked out with a gorgeous day, perfect for exploring the gardens and wooded areas.

It’s been two years to the day since we moved into It’s been two years to the day since we moved into our forever home after 10 years in the same two-bed flat. A flat that saw us through a lot of ups and downs, a pandemic and so much more. 

We bought this house knowing it was in need of some updating but we saw  as an opportunity to build something really special! 

While we’ve got a long way to go before the house is ‘done’ (years, tbh), I feel so fortunate that we’ve been able to create  space that feels like us. 

I’m also really proud about how much DIY I’ve been able to do. Even though it’s not perfect, it’s incredibly satisfying! 

I can’t wait to see how things look in another two years!
