Home Etc #153 – August Interiors Linkup

Happy August #HomeEtc everyone! Ironically as I’m sitting writing this post it’s RAINING. RAIN. What even IS that stuff? I know the temperature has dipped in other parts of the UK but here in London it’s been absolutely outrageous for at least six weeks and has only rained twice. We’ve given up with the lawn but have just about managed to keep a few plants alive with some diligent watering.

So how is your summer going? I know the schools are off and Caro has been busy entertaining her little ones. It doesn’t really make much difference to Pete and I other than our trains to work in the morning are much quieter as commuters take time off. The flipside is they are SO much busier on the way home as they’re packed full of families.

On the home front, we’ve now plastered the living room! Gone is the horrible old lining paper which hid all the damage and we now have beautiful smooth walls. We haven’t come any further than that of course, this is us after all but it’s a step in the right direction. Next up I really need to make a decision about the living room floor. I *think* I’m settled on engineered wood in a herringbone pattern so now we just have to pick a colour and get some quotes in.

But ANYWAY, enough of home life. Thank you so much to everyone who linked up in July and here is our favourite…

THE HOME ETC FAVOURITE

It’s Becky who writes at Pinks Charming and her fabulous upcycled indoor salad garden! This is literally something I would buy from a shop if I could, it looks so stylish and is so simple to make. I won’t share any further but do read on for her tutorial.

Congratulations Becky, you’ve won our monthly Laura Ashley voucher prize! We’ll be in touch to arrange delivery.

Now it’s your turn, please do join in with any home/upcycling/DIY/craft/interiors-related posts.
