Being a bit of a nosy person I love to see in people’s homes. If Estate Agents didn’t have such shoddy reputations I’m sure if would have been a great career for me. There’s nothing I think is more revealing of a person than the inside of their home, am I right?
When it comes to me I think I’m pretty house proud but happy to be in a home that’s ‘lived-in’, yes I like things to be as clean and tidy and smelling of bleach (die, germs, die) but you’ll still find muddy boots in the hallway, a toy car in the bathroom and the perpetual pile of washing on the bed.
I’m a big fan of interiors blogs but often they’re a little too perfect, a little too dream-life. Where are the French doors covered in toddler toothpaste? Not on Apartment Therapy, that’s for sure. So the recent ‘Corners of my Home’ feature that some of my favourite bloggers have been posting recently is awesome; it’s like snooping through someone’s front window without getting caught (though I ask: why live at street level if you don’t want people looking through your window? Just saying…).
Here are some current favourite nooks and corners of my home, in the dining room, kitchen and hallway.
One of the shelves in the kitchen
This is a lifesaver for the long hours I spend cooking: my DAB radio
Glasses in the dining room
‘A Visual Compendium of Haircuts in Popular Music’ from PopChart Labs – needs hanging – and a collection of animal ornaments from our travels (plus the Eiffel Tower)
Part of my Royal mug collection
Hallway Herbs
With two babies in nappies a downstairs changing station is necessary.
Psst: see more of my house here…
Brilliant, I am equally nosy and would love to be an estate agent too, I can spend hours on property websites. Absolutely love your house and all the little details or quirks. x
Thanks Clare! Rightmove is a definite obsession of mine x
Totes gonna do this today, so y’all can get your snoop on in my crib.
Let me know when you do it! I may or may not have been refreshing your blog to see… ;)
Glad you like it, although if you could see my room/house at this moment now, you would probably call Aggie & Kim, and maybe the police?
Ditto with Elfie’s bedroom… she found that her storage boxes have tights in and managed to empty them all over her room. I would wait for her to tidy up herself but that might be about seven years :(
I love looking at pictures of your home. It is so beautifully decorated yet cozy at the same time.
Aw, thanks Erin! x
I love the hairstyles poster! Great corners
Great post! you have inspired me to do a similar post in the future… watch this space nosey parker! :-) xx
Please do! I love the snooping! x
