Recent happenings
Hi there! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and if you live in the UK, didn’t get too wet in the rain on this gorgeous bank holiday! I joined the other crazy people at the local Homebase to stock up on paint as the sun wasn’t out so we couldn’t have a bank holiday bbq.…

Sunday night feeling
Over the summer I’ve been looking out for vibrant colours to photograph in an attempt to strengthen my creative eye and inject a bit more colour in my life. I’m such a fan of grey that I want to make sure I don’t get stuck in a rut or become averse to using colour in…

Summer reads
What’s on your summer reading list? I love to read and find it so relaxing. In fact my bedside table doesn’t look too dissimilar to the image above! I’ve just finished Amor Towles’ ‘Rules of Civility’ which is on my book list for the year and am now working my way through a Jodi Picoult…

DIY upcycled foot stool
Originally posted on Claire Parkin Interior Design: I’ve been working on this project for a little while and am glad to finally be able to share it tonight.

Today I’m inspired by: gold accents…still!
Thank you for your feedback from the last post! The more I blog, the more I’m coming to see that it’s the honest and personal posts that get the best interactions from readers.

Future thinking…
I’ve been thinking about changing things around on Celebrate Creation recently and so I wanted to write a post today to keep regular readers (and new ones!) in the loop. Recently I’ve been inspired by the Blognix blogging conference and also a short course that I’m taking that was written by the A Beautiful Mess…
