How I restored a cast iron fireplace…

We need a round of “instagrammers caught instagramming” with the most contorted positions being showcased. For this picture I have to have my feet raised off the floor so they don’t appear in the photo frames, core engaged as I lean back to hide my head and arms in a T-Rex like motion trying to take a picture with no stray elbows. Effort!!! Tag me in your most awkward pics and I’ll share later 🙌🏻 #myhousethismonth Reflection - thankfully I don’t feature in this one thankfully! #storyofmyhome No dogs allowed - at all!! I need to be at home more 😩 #houseandhome #castironfireplace #peelaway #bedroomsofinstagram #myhmhome #myrenostory #victorianterrace #victorianrenovation #rockmystylishhome #sorealhomes #myperiodhomestyle #realhomesofinstagram #beautifulhomesinthenorth #inmydomaine #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorsquares #interiorsupnorth #periodhomesofinsta #thiscreativehome #cornerofmyhome #scrollstoppinghome #houseofspolland #myhousebeautiful #northernhomesuk #styleitreal #currenthomeview #marieclairemaison #loveyourhabitat

This is no regular cellar door. This is a painted with @fenwickandtilbrook Florence, faffy styled with pampas and tote bag cellar door... 💕 I’ve used the shade Florence to revamp the door to the cellar and to also add some pops of pink in the kitchen so that some of the quirks are more interesting. I basically do that with my makeup already, so why not here 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 #myhousethismonth Paint or Paper #storyofmyhome Family Values - nothing quite like supporting a family business to give you all the fuzzy feels when you purchase 💕 * Handles previously gifted by @yesterhome #apartmenttherapy #mydomaine #myhousebeautiful #interiormilk #kitchenrenovation #sodomino #abmlifeisbeautiful #myrenostory #victorianterrace #victorianrenovation #rockmystylishhome #sorealhomes #myperiodhomestyle #realhomesofinstagram #beautifulhomesinthenorth #myinteriorsquares #interiorsupnorth #periodhomesofinsta #thiscreativehome #houseofspolland #northernhomesuk #styleitreal #marieclairemaison #pimpupmypad #pinkinmygaff #pinkinmyfeed #myperiodinterior #miafelce

We’re three days in; what emoji sums up where you’re at?! Are you a 🥳, a 🤪, a 😩 or a 🤯 I’m borderline 🤯😩 but any minute I could go full on 🤪, you know, in a hysterical kinda way. It keeps Mr S on his toes for one! Here’s a #worktopwednesday for #myhousethismonth and what is becoming my favourite spot in the kitchen. We have Florence from @fenwickandtilbrook bringing a gorgeous pop of pink, the coffee station and Elvis who carefully oversees the use of the Belfast sink and dishwasher 😂 It’s all organised chaos #storyofmyhome though of course. I wouldn’t have it any other way - so long as I know where everything is, that’s all that matters right?! * Wall brackets previously gifted by @thehairpinlegco Sage Espresso Coffee Machine previously gifted by @ao Handles previously gifted by @yesterhome #apartmenttherapy #mydomaine #myhousebeautiful #interiormilk #kitchensofinsta #sodomino #abmlifeisbeautiful #myrenostory #victorianterrace #victorianrenovation #rockmystylishhome #sorealhomes #myperiodhomestyle #realhomesofinstagram #beautifulhomesinthenorth #myinteriorsquares #interiorsupnorth #periodhomesofinsta #thiscreativehome #houseofspolland #styleitreal #marieclairemaison #pimpupmypad #myperiodinterior #woodenworktops #espressomachine #miafelce

TRADES 👷🏼‍♀️👷🏻‍♂️ Let’s talk about tradespeople. Personally, we’ve not had a bad experience yet, but that is probably helped by Mr S having a lot of contacts and people he trusts. Electricians can be quite particular, I don’t know whether you’ve noticed?! 🤪 Let’s give a shoutout and a moment of glory for those tradespeople who have pulled out all the stops for you and your home in the past - if they’ve got Instagram, please tag them below and I’ll share later. Mr S obviously comes to mind for me because of all the work he has done here as a long suffering husband, including the fitting of this @madedotcom light and rewiring the house ⚡️ #myhousethismonth It’s electric - I’m sure Mr S the electrician counts here! #storyofmyhome Moment of glory - Mr S can’t be the only one - tag your fantastic tradespeople and I’ll share later today 🙌🏻🔦 #MADEdesign #hallwaydecor #hallwaydecorideas #myperiodinterior #sodomino #myrenostory #victorianterrace #victorianrenovation #rockmystylishhome #sorealhomes #myperiodhomestyle #realhomesofinstagram #beautifulhomesinthenorth #inmydomaine #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorsquares #interiorsupnorth #periodhomesofinsta #thiscreativehome #scrollstoppinghome #houseofspolland #pocketofmyhome #northernhomesuk #styleitreal #currenthomeview #marieclairemaison #loveyourhabitat #walltowallstyle

Hello Monday! I’m getting a grip this week for sure. On it 🙌🏻 In the meantime, the direction in the print you see here still holds true - hope you’re listening Mr S 😂 I’m not very green fingered at all, but I am trying very hard... honest! Very happy that tulips are back now though as they’re my favourite flower. Picture perfect in every way 😍🌷#myhousethismonth Plants and Flowers #storyofmyhome Picture Perfect #myrenostory #tulipsofinstagram #belfastsink #victorianterrace #victorianrenovation #rockmystylishhome #sorealhomes #myperiodhomestyle #realhomesofinstagram #beautifulhomesinthenorth #inmydomaine #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorsquares #interiorsupnorth #periodhomesofinsta #thiscreativehome #cornerofmyhome #scrollstoppinghome #houseofspolland #mystylednest #pocketofmyhome #northernhomesuk #styleitreal #currenthomeview #marieclairemaison #woodenworktops #kitchensofinstagram #kitchendecor

It was going so well yesterday with Willow, my friend’s cocker spaniel, until she stole my sock. She managed to snaffle it and claim it as hers. I got it back, although I think I’ve only won the battle and not the war 😂 I managed to catch some winter light streaming onto the landing and catch my Singer sewing machine looking 😍 Not a sale find but it was a bargain via @facebookmarketplace When I was a little girl, we had the dining table on top of Singer sewing machine legs and we used to sit at the table and mess around with the pedal. Obviously my parents loved this addition to dinner time - who wouldn’t?! It was all fun and games until one of us trapped the others foot and then it really wasn’t funny anymore 🙈😂 #myhousethismonth Sale Find #storyofmyhome When I was a little... #myrenostory #singersewingmachine #myinteriortreasure #victorianterrace #victorianrenovation #rockmystylishhome #sorealhomes #myperiodhomestyle #realhomesofinstagram #beautifulhomesinthenorth #inmydomaine #apartmenttherapy #myinteriorsquares #interiorsupnorth #periodhomesofinsta #thiscreativehome #cornerofmyhome #scrollstoppinghome #houseofspolland #mystylednest #pocketofmyhome #northernhomesuk #styleitreal #currenthomeview #marieclairemaison #loveyourhabitat #pampasgrass #walltowallstyle
