Renovation inspiration.

With a house sold and a house bought it’s time to start thinking about new interiors. The new house currently doesn’t have much of an interior, it’s mostly a shell of an outside with some interior walls and the occasional floorboard but there are plans and I have plans for those plans!

Firstly the kitchen which will be similar to my current one.

Except with storm lanterns or something a little more industrial hanging as pendants over the island bench.

A nook at one end of the island with shelves for my cookbooks, one of those big restaurant kitchen taps that are more hose than tap, perhaps some brick pattern white tiles for a splashback like the Paris metro (only without the urinal smell!)

And if I’m really lucky… a duck egg blue AGA. Or better yet the spotty Emma Bridgewater one. Bliss.

Also on the wish list- I’m loving this sewing cafe in Paris where you can take your projects and rent the machines by the hour. I have a little sunroomy nook with a big picture window and lots of light- and I have a little daydream about a space that will look like that cafe.

Another little daydream of a house that’s full of homemade quilts, made in my little sunroomy sewing shop nook.
