I’m thrilled to announce that today I turn 48! What a ride it’s been so far. I’m a very lucky, blessed, and happy to have made it this far on planet earth. One thing I love about getting older is that you care less and less about what other people think and continue to know who you are more and more. Can you relate? After really losing my way after the birth of my son Arthur, the last 11 years have been sometimes steady and sometimes meteoric in discovering who I am and what I’m about. There have been highs, (my own TV show earlier this year for one), and lows, (it’s not been recommissioned!) but I’m so glad those things don’t define my self-esteem anymore. My business and you, my gorgeous community, give me all the fulfilment and motivation.
My love of interiors has been the most incredible gift, channelling my obsession for design and colour. In this industry we are surrounded by the nicest people, (fellow maximalists are the best of all!) all committed to making the world a happier, more positive place. A heart felt thank you for all.
Today I’m launching a massive sale over on my Interior design school and as I’ve got up at 6am on my actual birthday to launch the discount on the site, I was caught thinking to myself- this is the perfect- it’s my birthday but I wouldn’t want this any other way!
I created my online interior design school to try and help as many people as possible (over 5000 students to date) as affordably as I could with the aim to connect you to your passion, to quash the fear, and ultimately make bolder and more courageous decisions. Because when you get into your creative flow the results are simply magical.
Do you find yourself struggling to juggle everything that life throws at you and still carve out some precious time for yourself. A really difficult year this year has taught me that doing something for you, that makes you happy, is just so vitally important.I found myself burnt out. The spark had gone and I needed to get back to nourishing my creative spirit. And if thats plumping cushions, we are in great company!
It’s this passion and creativity that has got me through the hardest times in my life and the feedback I get from students shows me I’m not alone! When you nail your own sense of style, develop your own colour palette, and start to fill you home with art and objects that you love you have a deep sense of self and satisfaction.
My signature online course is ‘How to Create Maximalist Interiors is where I share how make it all work and keep it fun. I show you how I keep the creativity and inspiration flowing and avoid those knarly roadblocks that have you bolting to make those oh so disappointing safe decisions.
I’m a maximalist at heart, I love stuff. All the colours and all the cushions. And if you do too, setting out the rooms so they look classy rather than cluttered is an on-going battle. Can you relate?!
You deserve it!
