A CONFESSION: we escaped for a few days to go somewhere magical. I’ll share more soon (though the final pic will give you a clue!). I snapped this imperfect photo of Meadow View in the early hours as we were leaving a few days ago, and couldn’t resist capturing the sunrise as we drove to the airport. I did wonder why we were leaving Norfolk at all for a moment! It’s been more than we could have hoped for and we now can’t wait to be home later this morning for the final bits of prep for our first Christmas here.

Hope you’re all feeling good!

A FEW STILLS OF THE CHRISTMAS DINING ROOM…

Can you spot the new bits?

1. Christmas table in all its chaos
2&3. close ups of the NEW mantle decor
4. NEW artwork by .gaiad. I’ve been following Aline for a while now and her has of colour is pure and utter joy. When I saw this piece I knew it would be perfect for by our bar to add a little bit of an edgey pop to our grown up dining room. She let me choose the scribe “Bison at the Bar”
5&6. table close ups
7. A sneak peek of more to come.

Happy Sunday folks. Hope you see something you like xx

CHRISTMASES PAST AT CROWN COTTAGE, and 15% off Christmas week!

A look back at Christmases through the years at Crown Cottage. It’s been a while since the cottage has featured on the grid: It’s such a huge part of our Norfolk journey and looking back at Christmases there always gives me pause for thought and brings back the happiest of memories.

Crown Cottage is without doubt the most special of places. Those who’ve stayed get it: they return, we become (insta!) friends and we share a love for this special place. Think I’m over-egging it? Perhaps come and see for yourself. I guarantee your shoulders will drop as soon as you walk through the door.

Incredibly we have 24-31 December available with 15per cent off. Short stays in that time available too.

Come and see what the fuss is about x

LIFE, LATELY….

Consisting mostly of wreaths, moss, ribbon and Christmas trees, with the occasional moment to stop and stare at the sky, and the odd leaky roof and a bit of scaffolding thrown in for good measure…

The December juggle continues, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. How about you?

Happy Tuesday folks xx

HAVE YOU WOKEN UP TO SNOW? It seems lots of you have which always takes me back to these scenes at Crown Cottage Norfolk a few years ago. I’m always hopeful winter guests get to see a gentle covering (nothing too disruptive!). We’ve some frosts forecast later in the week, so I better make sure the log store is well stacked for guests!

Tell me, do you have any snow? I’m here for the pretty pics if so!

22/10/2024

WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE SO FAR? It may be a while before we have any more 🤣….

1. The recently painted snug had an overhaul in August during a heatwave (I’ll never forget it) in a selection of paint colours
2. My son got lucky with his room being redecorated before we moved in - love this wallpaper which we hope is future proofed!
3. The children’s bedroom had a very quick paint job and floor sand by yours truly again - a lovely quick freshen up
4. The dining room - you’ll have heard enough about that of late!
5. My daughter’s room - probably the most challenging room for a lot of reasons - mostly the wonky walls and floor - but a triumph with this wallpaper. We’ve made a few tweaks to this lately I’ll share soon.

Time for a rest (who am I kidding?!)

DINING ROOM STILLS FOR ZOOMING/DETAILS FOR SAVING

Thank you so much for all the love ♥️ for the Meadow View dining room. I’m sharing a few stills for you, together with paint colour and finish info for you to save and refer to. I’ll add it to highlights along with my stories from today in which I’ve talked about why I’ve chosen particular paint finishes. I hope this is useful and, as ever, any questions let me know xx

1. View of the living room from our hallway. The ceiling has been painted in Lady Char’s lilac (architect’s Matt for the ceiling and architects eggshell for the coving to add some subtle contrast)
2. The view from the dining table to the east, window painted in ’s Grenache in architect’s gloss for real drama.
3. View from the dining room through to the the snug, showing the Albion wallpaper in Mauve.
4. The cleaned up original lock (thank you ) against Grenache in eggshell for the skirting and door trims.
5. Decisions to be made about whether we have a mirror or a painting above the fireplace? What do you think?
6. Back to where we started, choosing the colour scheme… i didn’t dream it would turn out as good as this!

DO ANY OF THEM CATCH YOUR EYE? I’d love to know….! I can’t wait to see what this year brings!

1. Pinks and mauves were the popular choice for 2022
2. Loved dressing winter huts
3. My personal favourite and the one that gained me over 1000 followers….
4. A very special commission
5. A career highlight floral styling for ‘s Christmas campaign in 2021

Which would you choose? Order book opening soon!

JUST A GIRL, standing alone in her pyjamas in the rain, watching the Northern Lights dance above her North Norfolk rooftop, whilst her children sleep soundly inside.

Will they ever forgive me?

Still buzzing.

A WEEKEND OF pink sunrises, blue skies, warm wine-infused evenings and (lots of lots) of paint samples. Norfolk you are SO beautiful at this time of year.

A busy week incoming: finalising colours for the dining room redecoration, dates for Christmas wreathmaking classes and putting together the Curated by Lois Christmas collection. Always grateful for your support and I promise lots of exciting things coming your way xx

COME ON IN…

… it’s cosy in here. This is perhaps the closest I’ve got to showing you our kitchen - from the outside looking through the window! It does look inviting, though I think may have (fortuitously) just articulated for me in her post just now why I’ve not shared it before….
….And that’s despite it being a perfectly lovely kitchen I’m not sure it will feel right until I’ve put my mark on it, and I feel a little guilty about that because no changes are really necessary, but it doesn’t feel like ours yet.

I’ve had a few ideas recently for some minor updates that won’t break the bank nor seem at all wasteful (and having seen Nina’s recent transformation I’ve been spurred on to put them into action) so maybe “kitchen updates” should be added to the ever growing to do list after “dining room redec” and “master bedroom spruce up”… we will see….

HAS ANYONE ELSE GOT similar jumanji-like scenes in their garden? Everything is so green from all this rain we returned from holiday and could barely get in the door! I gave up waiting for the sun yesterday and decided to adopt the “just get it done quickly before the heavens open” technique to pruning a wisteria and Virginia creeper*. I’ll keep you posted on whether I’ll end up regretting that! Here’s hoping for an opportunity for a more romanticised version of gardening today, before the footie frenzy this evening! Happy Sunday folks xx * I’ll share a more useful tutorial in stories! #houseandgarden #homeandgarden #mygardentoday #countryhome #wisteria #virginiacreeper #wisteriapruning #norfolkhome #gardeninglove

FASHION CONTENT has been thin on the ground of late for the simple reason that all resources diverted to house renovation, but I couldn’t resist this very on brand £28 shirt which goes perfectly with last year’s @ma_lin_online co-ord from @percy.langley. And I may have also got lucky with these shoes which I’d been coveting for a while and then went into the sale @jarroldnorwich (not to be worn marsh walking for obvious reasons!). X What do we think? Shoes are @carl_scarpa Shirt @nextofficial

YOU GAIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME MORE… Lots of new followers of late and also plenty of departures - usually a sign to do a reintroduction and explain what you’ll likely see here. I know it’s evolved but so has life and whilst the algorithm may want to be trained like a puppy and fed the same old thing I’m allergic to dogs so that was never going to work for me and hopefully you enjoy the variety too. So here I am and here is this account called Crown Cottage Curated. You’ll find out about our holiday cottage Crown Cottage Norfolk, learn about North Norfolk, get lots of inspiration (I hope) from our own home renovation of Meadow View and will periodically see some of my floral styling and floral workshop work. The focus ebbs and flows in the way life does. I am a creative and I love this little app: the connections I’ve made and the work it’s facilitated. So I try to have some fun with it and I really hope you’ll join along for the ride. I’ve seen lots of new account names popping up lately alongside a lot of you who’ve been around for a while. I’d love to know a bit more about you so do say Hi below! Xx #introduction #reintroduction #facebehindtheaccount #smallbusiness #contentcreator #norfolkbusiness #norfolkcreatives #introreel #whatyoullsee #whyfollowme

ROSES IN EVERY direction here at Meadow View, seen here with the lesser spotted blue sky. Wishing you a very happy Sunday folks, however you are spending it xx #countryhouse #houseandgarden #mygardentoday #rosegarden #myfrontdoor #norfolkhome #countryhome #oldhouses #houseinspo #countrygarden
