One of the things I love most about home interiors

One of the things I love most about home interiors is staging and styling my finished painted pieces. I love setting a scene for each piece to tell their imagined story. This decadent sideboard made a perfect little cocktail bar in the corner of a dark and mysterious drawing room. It feels perfect for this time of year. A little bit special and a lot magical for Christmas. I’m sitting here wistfully thinking what my favourite cocktail would be if I wasn’t at work in the morning! Cheers to your Friday night whatever you have planned.

Gold + Christmas. For me these two go hand in hand. I thought you’d like to see a close-up of the drawer from yesterday’s rich Amsterdam Green cocktail cabinet. Delightfully distressed with my signature fly spec. It’s a super easy way to give your furniture painting that softly distressed and beautiful aged patina. It’s bling, but in a softer subtler way.

I posted earlier this week about my eclectic Christmas tastes. Half of me loves pared back, cool, crisp Scandi vibes like my mini Christmas trees and teacup place setting. The other half is intoxicated by dark, dramatic opulence in deep, rich colours and today that half wins! Who doesn’t want to snuggle by the fireside with a warming cocktail served from a beautifully ornate little cabinet on these dark wintry nights? This was a discarded old sideboard looking for some love which I provided in Amsterdam Green and gold leaf, distressed with fly spec and oodles of dark wax. Super easy to do, all you need bring is the drinks!

In these crazy days where staying in is the new go

In these crazy days where staying in is the new going out, what could be more relaxing than a cosy candlelit supper for your bubble? I put together a couple of super simple ideas in collaboratiion with @dunelmuk that create a beautiful tablescape for a lovely relaxed meal at home. Yesterday I showed you the upcycled mats. Today it's the turn of a simple but stunning place marker with a simple white mug, faux moss, nuts, cinnamon sticks and a single church candle. I absolutely love the simplicity. How about you, would you make this? If you'd like to find out how check out the link to my video content in bio.

After all the Scandi love from yesterday's pared back mini Christmas tree (thanks guys... it means a lot to know I'm not the only one who loves an eclectic mix) I thought I'd share a bit of Christmas table bling with you. I've always loved a traditional festive palette of greens, red and gold so this is part of my supper table for @dunelmuk Homemade and upcycled of course, it's a really simple crafting project that you can try at home. All you need is old tablemats which have seen better days or can pick up for pennies in a charity shop. Then crafting glue and berry napkins for decoupage. I've styled each place setting with their gorgeous chunky glass baubles, linen napkins, faux berries and real fir forged from local woodland. I've filmed the whole project step by step. Link in bio to this and my other festive projects if you'd like to give it a go. Because we can't go out, I've tried to create something special for a little supper party for your family or loved one. Let me know what you think >>

In the House of Mendes, we are always torn between

In the House of Mendes, we are always torn between opulent, over the top decadence with sways and trees festooned with baubles and simple Scandi style. So this year, I decided why choose? For me in 2020 anything goes and I decided to work different styles in different parts of your house. I spotted these little Christmas trees in the supermarket and couldn't resist. I knew they'd be fab for a teacup upcycle so these little guys are in the kitchen and looking adorable! What do you think?

How are the festive preparations going in your hou

How are the festive preparations going in your house? You guys seem to be loving paper projects this year, so I’m continuing with the folding theme and showing you another easy way to get crafty this Christmas. For this concept, I’ve teamed up with #ad @dunelmuk to create a very easy hamper upcycle using paint and decoupage napkins to make a festive border and then created decorative paper flourishes to make a doorstep-ready gift with wow factor. I love putting hampers together for friends and family as you can include all their favourites and small gestures, can make a really thoughtful gift.
