  • Okay, I'm just going to ask a question, is anyone else as unprepared for good weather as I am? Every year it takes me by surprise, the garden is a mess, the seating area is a sorry state and the outdoor furniture is shook. I'm suspending all plans today to try and get some work done outside, and to get some sun on my pasty limbs. It's Tiles for @houseandhomemagazine and @murphystone_smquartz. It's not tiles, it's vinyl, but it looks the part! #myhouseandhome #irishinteriors #irishblogger #interiorsblogger #myeclecticshack #foxhollowstyle #instainteriors
  • Oh hey there! Thanks for all the love on yesterday's post. 15 years of marriage is no mean feat. He is lovely. I am lucky. We had a takeaway, watched Eastenders and then I read my book while he watched the news. Marriage. It's WALL POWER for @houseandhomemagazine and@murphystone_smquartz. The gallery wall got a jig around. Sometimes I get DM's from people wondering how I hang them up... That surely I don't go around hammering holes in to the walls...ummmm...yes I do. There are holes in all the walls, all over the house. But I also have a tub of polyfilla, for when I knock a chunk out! #myhouseandhome #foxhollowstyle #pinkinmygaff #myeclecticshack #howivintage #irishinteriors #irishblogger #interiorsblogger #myirishhome #styleithappy
  • 15 years ago today I married this man. It feels like 5 minutes ago. He is an utter gentleman. He is patient, calm and kind. He is supportive, he listens, he comes up with solutions, he makes me cry with laughter. Our life is charmed because of him. Happy anniversary @ivandalyart
  • ***GIVEAWAY*** The beautiful Ruthie of @ruby.loves asked me to come on board as co-host with her bright and joyous hashtag #pinkinmygaff. Well I'm honoured, but this is awkward, I don't like pink in the slightest 😉 So if you have any gorgeous pops of pink in your interiors, take a pic and tag #pinkinmygaff and we will pick a winner on 15th May. All you have to do is follow myself and Ruthie, and this month's prize giver @bredasgiftshop, who has gifted these gorgeous frames. We will be sharing favourites each week! 📸 Photo credit @ruby.loves #irishinteriors #irishdiyers #interiorstyling #instainteriors
  • ***WARNING*** This maybe the only room you will EVER see on my grid again. Because I am in love. The light is shit this evening but this room is still awesome, and it's the absolute proof that you should do whatever you want with paint. I will take more pictures tomorrow for the blog and further bombard you. But thank you so much for all the love on my stories. I will put the project in my highlights. Especially the picture of Ivan's bum. That's the best 😍 Thank you so much Kate and Sandra at the @carlowpainthub for the advice and for the @tikkurila_ireland paint. It's wonderful paint to work with and that gold is everything! #gifted #foxhollowstyle #myhouseandhome #irishinteriors #pinkinmygaff #myeclecticshack #howivintage #irishdiyers #irishblogger #interiorsblogger
  • Dearest friends, this is a short message just to say goodbye. We've had some fun, and I've made many new friends along the way, but as you can see my new bed has arrived. So I am taking to my boudoir to spend all my days and nights. I simply don't have time for frivolities such as earning a living or faffing or having fun on Insta, my new bed is just far too beautiful. I spent months looking for a new bed, and in fact it ended up finding me. It popped up on my Instagram when I started following @podfurniture.ie and now here it is at Fox Hollow ❤️ But hang on... If insta found me my bed then maybe I shouldn't give it up? I mean goodness knows what other treasures it might yield.... #guesswhosback #thatwasquick #irishinteriors #irishblogger #interiorsblogger #myirishhome #myhouseandhome #pinkinmygaff
  • This is our bathroom. When we bought it there was a bath where the sink is now. Why oh why did I not take photos! If you are starting out, please take photos to remind yourself. We ripped out the bath, and put a walk in shower to the left of the photo, much to the consternation of some of the tradesmen who were working with us. It's still a misconception that taking out a bath and putting in a shower is a negative thing. For me, the day to day comfort of having a walk in shower is invaluable.

  • You can find treasures in the most unexpected places, it's just a matter of keeping the peepers open. I was scrolling through Facebook a couple of months ago when this swan back ercol beauty, and it's mate, popped up on my feed. They were in a second hand furniture shop 15 minutes away. At €60 for the pair I had the engine running and was out the gap before I'd finished reading..and as I ran I heard Ivan calling after me 'where are we going to put them'. I thought they would need work done to them but they are perfect,in better condition than chairs I bought 5 years ago. And that sloping back means extra comfort, so more time around the table drinking tea and chatting.

  • Did you ever go to the National History Museum in Dublin? I flipping love that place, weasels and rodents and bugs and all. I once went in and while pottering around I met a security guard who was clearly bored and probably thought I would have a laugh with him so he started showing me his favourites. There was a monkey that he called Shane McGowan. He called the hippo Brian Cowan. Something else was Bono. And then he stopped his hysterical laughing, looked off into the distance and told me that he thought he was going mad. I think he may have just given it the edge as the coolest place in Dublin. Anyway, here is my little natural history spot at Fox Hollow. None of the residents of this corner look like politicians or musicians. But yes, *looks off into distance* I might be a bit mad. It's FAVOURITE CORNER for @houseandhomemagazine and @murphystone_smquartz April challenge! #myhouseandhome #irishinteriors #irishblogger #interiorsblogger #myeclecticshack #howivintage
