Home Office Inspiration & Accessories to Love

Anyone else here browses Instagram and Pinterest endlessly for office inspiration goals and never get tired of it? Not just me then..? Great! I'm a geek when it comes to pinning and saving inspiration pics for office space. And some of my favourite ones are... Lust Living spotty monochrome office, which looks lush with Olivia's choice of gold accessories and the most stunning light pendant.  Lust Living spotty - gold - monochrome office of dreams Little Big Bell also gets a top spot on my office inspiration list, the mix of bright colours and the composition she creates is so beautiful, I could work in Geraldine's office all day long!  Little Big Bell - Geraldine's choice of colours and designs creates...

Afternoon Tea + Candy Coloured Decor

The only thing better than having a delicious afternoon tea, is having a delicious afternoon tea in the candy-coloured room of a stylish hotel. Fact. I was spoiled to that last weekend. We went to the Cotswolds with Mr Room Alive's family for a long weekend, and there are two things we always do when we visit the Cotswolds: 1- Visit Daylesford Farm (read more about it here) 2- Treat ourselves to afternoon tea Little did I know when we bought our Groupon vouchers to Bowden Hall Mercure Hotel in Gloucester... It's a hotel 4 miles away from Gloucester, tucked away on the edge of a small village.  The main thing I was looking for when booking was a place that would be dog-friendly as...

My Christmas Tree Challenge with Style at Home

I am one of those people that secretly plan Christmas really early on in the year, I probably start pinning ideas in August! Then it's on the lookout for table settings, yummy recipes and finding a beautiful wreath for the door (one of the hardest decisions I must say as there are too many gorgeous wreaths out there these days!) And then, there is the TREE! I was a little bit excited knowing that I didn't have to wait until the 6th of December for that this time......and that's because back in July I was invited to take part in the super fab Christmas Tree Challenge with Style at Home Magazine. I jumped at the chance and how lucky was I! I...

The five hottest beds right now

Sleep. Chase your dreams. Repeat. Sleep is such a big part of our lives, it can most often be the cure and the solution for anything. The more rested you are, the more likely you are to make things happen! It is kind of ironic that I have been obsessing with a new bed for the last few months, my youngest daughter has just turned six months old this week and I have not had much sleep for a long time now. And it doesn't look like she will become a good sleeper anytime soon... I am typing this at 1.30am while she's wide awake and refuses to settle for the night! Never mind that, longer sleep nights will come sooner or later,...
