Now the light has started to make it around to our north facing bedroom windows, this room is the perfect spring reading spot for taking a half hour break during the day. A few things have been moved around in the room and some nomad accessories have found permanent homes. So I thought I would share a few photos with you for this month’s Styling the Seasons with Katy and Charlotte. Wishing you a magical April!
I have brightened up my bedside with some embroidered vintage linen, my beautiful Alocasia – a gift from my two favourite plant loving people – Igor and Judith and a few other treasured items. Anyone else keep their most adored crystals close by for good vibes?
I love my solemn girl, I only just discovered that the caption says day dreams. That makes me love her even more. I move her around the house all the time, but she usually ends up by the bed. 
During my recent clear out, my jewellery box was significantly diminished and now I am left with just the pieces that make me really happy and I actually wear. To keep myself in order I have hung them on plain nails hammered straight into the wall. Easiest DIY project ever and now I can easily pick out a necklace on my way out!
A few treasured photos are dotted around the place – say hello to my 3-year-old dad there ;)
My brass bangles cannot be tamed, so they are piled up together in this 1970’s wooden bowl. It was a happy £1.50 in a charity shop buy.
I always have to share the bed with this fuzzy monster as she likes to sleep right up against me when I am reading or watching a movie.
Finally here are the books in my reading stack this month.
Bloomsbury in Sussex by Simon Watney. I have been head over heels for the Bloomsbury set since I visited Charleston a few year ago.
Consolations of the Forest: Alone in a Cabin in the Middle Taiga by Sylvain Tesson. Wilderness reading at it’s best.
The life changing Magic of Tidying by Marie Kondo – yes I need this to keep me on track. I am a messy person. I am forging on with this, the Minimalists and the next book to get my house and life in order.
Simple Matters by Erin Boyle. Personal insights on small-space living and conscious consumption. Yes please.
Devotion by Louisa Young. Sent to me as a gift I can’t wait to get stuck into this one!
Clean Cakes by Henrietta Inman. Because everyone should quit refined sugar. I am at the halfway mark right about now.
Happy April and happy reading. Pinch me, spring really is here isn’t it?!
I love the bangle bowl and only £1.50! What a bargain. Elinor x
I love the calm colours in your bedroom, and the lovely touches of nostalgia. I bet it makes for the perfect place to curl up whether it’s sunny or not.
Have a lovely week xxx
Oh, I would like to be in that room right now – so beautiful and calm looking. Love the way you’ve displayed your necklaces, so pretty (as is that shot of your kitty – gorgeous!) xx
