January is coming to an end… We have said goodbye to the sparkle and extravagance of Christmas and have had to say Hello reluctantly to winter! My home has been changing throughout the month. It has gone from lots of calming and on trend greenery… to the addition of a few bunches of tulips and some spring bulbs… and finally to adding a splash of pink. Its almost going from dark to light in an indiscreet way of saying COME ON SPRING!
January has seen us spend lots of time snuggled up drinking tea and watching movies or reading books. Its seen us prepare for R birthday and celebrate an early Chinese New Year! January is not my favourite month; its dark and cold but we have embraced it and tried to make our home a happy and snuggly retreat!!
The #MyHomeinJanuary community on Instagram has seen some similar nods to hurrying Spring along and to welcoming a little more light! There was also tea and cake which for me is always a winner!! Thanks to everyone who joined us this month. Don’t forget to tag #MyHomeinFebruary next month.

I have to agree jan is not a pleasent month, but these last 2 weeks I kept my promise to myself to surround our home in flowers and candles and that has helped.

January is not my favourite month. Like you I’ve added some tulips to my home as it felt so plain after the decoration came down. I’m not familiar with your instagram tag but I’m off to look at it now. #homeetc
