Ibiza

img 06591

We recently took a family holiday to Ibiza in May. The agenda was some much needed R&R but I find holidays a wonderful way to get recharged and find new inspiration. Ibiza has its own very unique vibe and sense of style so I was papping away avidly with my iphone, capturing the wonderful colours and designs I saw where ever we went. I thought I’d share some of my snaps, as theres so good design ideas in there.

May is in my view an ideal time to visit the Island. Flights are cheap and the beaches are quiet, none of the clubbing has started so its ideal for young families. The sun was perfect and the sea ideal for a refreshing swim. We stayed in Santa Eulalia and which has lovely beaches to access.

We visited a few peachy beaches during our trip including:

Cala Bassa Beach club near San Antonio- great for paddling in the shallow waters and take a net for fishing!

Benniras Beach, past San Miguel was lovely hippy beach with a breathtaking view. Got a great massage on the beach.

Babylon Beach, past Santa Eulalia. Book a table for a super stylish Sunday roast or a delicious superfood salad and green juice. As with many parts of Ibiza, settle down into a beanbag on the beach and enjoy  people watching.

A great website for advice on stylish haunts in White Ibiza.

Now finally for a touch of shopping. This store got recommended to me by my dear stylist friend Anna McDougall, who has an eye for all things fabulous. La Galeria Elefante is on the road to Santa Gertrudis (worth a visit also), and you can’t miss its bright pink elephants visible from the road. It a large scale treasure trove of global finds. Towers of rainbow textiles from Guatemala, carved beds from India, wax candles form France, bedspreads from Morocco, rope swing seats, cut glass goblets, it was a total party. Have a flick through my snaps, which in no way do it justice!

If like me you hate your shiny white UPVC windows If like me you hate your shiny white UPVC windows then this tip is for you!

I painted all of ours, inside and out, and it totally transformed our home (costing hundreds of pounds on paint rather than thousands of pounds replacing them with more traditional timber that would suit the Victorian character of our house better). 
The best thing about painting UVPC is with the right primer, there is no sanding or lengthy preparation. It’s important to make sure the frames are clean and dry, and then on with the All Surface Primer, which then ensures that the exterior acrylic eggshell, in a colour of your 
choice, can easily go on top. For many the beauty of UVPC windows is they don’t need decorating or maintaining, unlike timber windows. However, while these have not flaked or scratched yet (three 
years in) I know they will need a lick of paint at some point. But UVPC is a more stable substrate to traditional timber which cracks and swells, so the maintenance will be far less. 

And heres the best bit… you can’t tell the difference!

Works on Front doors and conservatories too! Would you try it? Let me know in the comments!

We used an All surface primer, mixed to match the top coat, of External eggshell in Lamp Black. Walls painted in masonry paint, in Lamp Black. All products @littlegreenepaintcompany

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I’ve needed to hear it again and again this past year.

This little affirmation has carried me through some of the hardest moments of my life; navigating a divorce, facing the possibility of losing my home, and somehow still showing up for my business, my family, and my creativity.

And here’s the thing: I didn’t lose my home. 🏡 I’m keeping it. 🙌 That’s the biggest takeaway for me. Because in the midst of fear and uncertainty, I held on to hope. I kept creating. I kept believing.

Stress and anxiety can really crush creativity. They make us shrink, second-guess, and settle for less than we deserve. But when we give ourselves even the tiniest flicker of faith,  that’s when the magic can return.

So if there’s something you’re holding on for, don’t let go. Keep the faith. You’ve absolutely got this.

And if someone you love needs that reminder too — feel free to share this with them.

I’ve always said—when the budget’s tight, th I’ve always said—when the budget’s tight, that’s when the real creativity kicks in. If you’ve been watching @interiordesignmasters, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Tiny budgets, tight timelines… and yet the designers deliver seriously awe-inspiring results!

My biggest tip? Take your time, because you’re not in a TV show! I’ve been decorating this house for 9 years, and it’s only just (almost!) finished. Sometimes that means saving up 
to splurge on the perfect piece. Other times it’s about stretching the budget with pre-loved or vintage finds—or patiently waiting for the sales to roll around.

Either way, I truly believe the go-slow approach gives you better results, helps you stay on budget, and creates a home that feels perfectly you.
But—here’s the catch—you need a plan.

There are no words to describe the gratitude I fee There are no words to describe the gratitude I feel for this home.

This house isn’t just where I live — it’s my sanctuary, my creative expression, the beating heart of my family, friendships, and of course, my business. I’ve always put huge importance on making a house feel like home and see it as the foundation to my feeling of ease and happiness. 

When my marriage ended, I faced the devastating and very real possibility of losing it all. But I refused to give up on the home I’d always dreamed of.

I leaned into every manifestation tool I knew (vision boards, mindset shifts, deep emotional work) to not just create this home, but to keep it when it mattered most.

And now, I want to share exactly how I did it! 🎉

On 15th May, I’m hosting my At Home Masterclass — a chance for you to step inside my world, see my home for yourself, and learn how to manifest your dreams and design the interiors (and life) that truly light you up.

If you feel the pull, this is your invitation.

Spaces are very limited — if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it!

Just pop the word ‘Masterclass’ into the comments below 👇and I’ll DM you the details.

Because home is where the heart is. ❤️
