STYLING THE SEASONS MARCH: spring in bloom

Monday, 9 March 2015
I don't want to jinx anything, but it kind of feels like spring is on its way. Last week was sunny and crisp but still cold and then the weekend rolled around and it was just beautiful. Saturday involved an amazing lunch at the my gorgeous friend Siobhan's house followed by a couple of drinks with Darren at our local pub, which always signals the start of better weather for me (I'm not much of a winter drinker). 


I bought some pretty flowers on my way home from work to brighten up the flat a little, but these sweet little cherry blossoms were actually snipped off a tree from the park (sorry!). I made this post for my second instalment of Apartment Apothecary's #stylingtheseasons. It's fun to play around with things I already have in the house and I like switching things around every now and then.

We used to have beautiful bare plaster walls in our bedroom but after a debilitating bout of damp we decided a fresh coat of white was in order. I'm still getting used to it, but we did keep one of the walls the same...which I do quite like the look of!


Spring always feels so positive and these transitional periods when it's neither too hot nor too cold are definitely my favourite. Here's to spring!

  1. This is so pretty and spring like. I loved your plaster walls but have to say I really like the white too. Thanks so much for joining in this month.

  2. I always forget how much I love spring until it starts to arrive, everything is starting to feel so new and fresh and there are so many lovely flowers appearing! It makes me so happy!

    1. I agree! I love that fresh flowers suddenly become so more attainable - I like to treat myself to a bunch of daffs every week
