Happy August and welcome to the start of the postcards. Every year I take a break to recharge my brain and clear out space for new ideas and inspiration and while I am doing that I send you a series of postcards for posts you may have missed, or might like to see again or perhaps you ignored first time round as they weren’t relevant and now, suddenly, they may speak to you. I hope you will enjoy some of the highlights of the year so far. We’ll kick off with a post from January which, I feel sure will be useful and that’s around small changes that have a big impact.

So ready for a stroll through these beautiful rooms? Read on…
I adore all of these rooms and will absolutely book that home in Porto when we can finally take a vacation. The contemporary monochrome painting in the first shot really transforms the space; previously, it may have seemed a little old-worldy. Beautiful.
