Have you ever wanted to learn how to make a pom pom wreath? Last Christmas I saw an amazing pom pom wreath in Anthropologie. I loved it — but it was so expensive. I decided to try and see if I could make one myself! Ever since the twins and I learnt to make pom …
Ever wanted to know how to make pom poms the easy way? I once wrote about our Camp Bestival adventure where we all spent a brilliant afternoon in a pom-pom making workshop. It was such a different method to the one I used when I was a child. I remember spending ages cutting out my templates (usually from …
Remember when I learned how to make pom poms at Camp Bestival? The boys and I went a bit pom pom crazy and made TONS of them in the weeks that followed! I trimmed our laundry basket with some of the larger pom poms. But with all the tiny, colourful ones we made, I created …
When I talk to people about our festival antics, some people occasionally express surprise about the kind of things we get up to when we’re there. I guess, festivals come in all shapes and sizes, and if you’ve only ever witnessed Glastonbury on the TV, you could be lulled into thinking that all festivals resemble …

It’s been a long old winter hasn’t it? Just when we think that the temperatures are rising and the flowers are starting to bloom, the cold takes hold once more and we’re reaching for our woolies! I thought I’d speed things up a bit, and bring a bit of much needed spring colour to our …
Fancy decorating your staircase with honeycomb balls and paper pom poms for the festive season? Not long now folks… just a few more days and the Christmas countdown will be well and truly on! A month today, we’ll probably just have finished our Christmas dinner and will be lying comatose in front of the TV. …
Ever heard of The Style at Home Christmas Tree Challenge? I hadn’t either until a couple of weeks ago. Occasionally life throws us a curve-ball doesn’t it? Sometimes it’s bad, sometimes good and every once in a while it’s downright extraordinary. Picture this: you’re heading off in one direction, only to find that — at …
Terrarium Moss. Whilst it’s an odd name for a colour — without even seeing it — you can imagine exactly what shade it is from those two words. I was given a lovely terrarium a few years ago. I’d intended to fill it with tiny plants — succulents or cacti — but I ended up cramming …

Looking for a St Tropez Gradual One Minute Tan Review? You’ve come to the right place! Read on… It’s that time of year folks. The first sunny weekend of the year has passed us by and bodies that haven’t seen the light of day for months were de-robed — in all their milky white glory. …
Since I began this series, although I’ve created home and womens’ fashion collections — based on the Pantone shades — I haven’t focussed on kids’ fashion at all. I guess, when you think of fashion for little ones, brights spring to mind or — at the very least — the stereotypical ‘pink for a girl, blue for a boy’. A colour that I certainly …

Perhaps if more adults took up childish pastimes — building Lego, colouring in, playing board games, making pom-poms — ‘adulting’ might be a little easier; the world might be a gentler, nicer place.
A little post with a few persuasive reasons why you should put Camp Bestival tickets on your Christmas list this year….
The team that brought us Bestival and Camp Bestival, have added a new baby to their stable; Camp Bestival Shropshire. Here’s the lowdown.
I love creating seasonal garlands. Edible biscuit garlands at Christmas; paper Halloween banners or cute Easter bunny garlands. They’re always fun to make; plus they help make the house look seasonally festive too. My new creation makes use of all the delivery boxes that keep arriving at this time of year! It’s a cardboard dove …
About 15 years ago I was asked if I would decorate a friend’s daughter’s bedroom; with some hand painted wall murals. It was years before the advent of wall decals and vinyl stickers. But my friend wanted something fun and pretty to break up the vast expanse of magnolia. The room was a bit of an odd shape …
I suddenly realised the other day that — although I post every day on The Listed Home Instagram account — I don’t often share those images and updates over here on the blog. And, let’s face it, if Instagram ever disappears in a puff of smoke ( anyone remember My Space?) it would be nice …
OK folks. You may have gathered, from the title of this post, that I have exciting news to share. Let’s have a quick show of hands… who wants to win a family weekend pass for Bluedot Festival?? Yes?!! Read on… You may remember that I wrote about Bluedot back in March. We’re lucky enough to …
Oh how I love this time of year. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of autumn and winter but December is most definitely excused. I LOVE the festive season; the run up to Christmas is magical. Preparation for the big day seems to consume my every waking minute and I love the way …
I wrote last year about finding the perfect narrow hallway bench seat for our wonky little cottage. We didn’t have to look very hard, as I found the perfect small hallway bench with storage from GLTC. The Abbeville storage bench is SO useful and a master of disguise. It works well as a little reading nook. …
The next in my Colour Your World series is Pantone Lilac Gray. Of all the colours I’ve showcased so far, it has been the most difficult to source products for. Slightly more red than standard ‘grey’, this warmed up shade has definitely more than just a hint of lavender. It’s such a beautiful, restful colour — and I found …
At around twenty past two on the third of this month my boy and I had been married for sixteen years. The happiest times of my life have happened with — and as a result of — this amazing man. I love him more than words can say. I’ve written about our wedding day before. It’s bizarre that it was …
There’s been so much going on recently though, it’s hardly surprising. We’ve barely been at home and the couple of free days that I do have — during the week when the boys are at nursery — seem to be over in a flash. I certainly don’t seem to be able to fit as much in as I’d like. But hey. Better …
Can you hear it? Jingle bells and a slight whisper of panic as the run up to Christmas begins. Now, I’m not a fan of the cold — and certainly not of short dark days — but I LOVE this time of year. A shiny, sparkly beacon amidst the grey, rain-sodden skies, Christmas is — …
I can’t believe that we’re over the halfway mark now! Since I started looking at the Pantone Spring/Summer report, we’ve seen some great colours; Aquamarine, Lucite Green and Custard to name a few. This week is the turn of Pantone Glacier Grey. Now anyone who knows me, knows I’m partial to a little bit of grey …
