THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the charming meanderings of Rachel Cooney, a second-hand shop enthusiast and the Creative Content Manager @daylesfordfarm, who is also in the process of renovating her first home. In fact, it was the image of her kitchen, below, that first caught our eye, with its tile backsplash and leaning artwork, island counter, antique jugs and wicker. Rachel's feed also features old cars in London streets and vintage finds in second shops, quiet corners of her ongoing renovation and more...
Carlos Garcia Interiors was started twelve years ago by Carlos Sánchez-García to exhibit his passion for architecture, furniture design, textiles and antiques. His quintessentially English manor farmhouse in North Norfolk that he shares with his husband and two whippets is another one of our recent Instagram finds and another example of our enduring love for countryside and farmhouse style ...
The Notting Hill home of creative consultant and designer Matilda Goad, at first glance, falls neatly into the English countryside aesthetic we’ve all fallen for lately. Upon closer examination, however, the space definitely has its own modern spin ...
I AM NOT EXACTLY sure what it is that I am so drawn to in House & Garden columnist Rita Konig's farmhouse, other than the fact that it is in County Durham and that we are also currently living in the English countryside ...
ONE OF THE BEST things about the changing of the seasons is all the different fruits and vegetables that signal each one. Summers in Spain meant sandía in the mornings and springtime means lots of sweet, dark cherries. Right now, in early autumn, it's apples, hanging heavy from all the trees scattered about the countryside, and my most favourite of all, fig season ...
Despite actually living it for the past year and a bit, only came across the term cottagecore recently. Cottagecore (also known as farmcore, countrycore, naturecore, honeycore or warmcore) is the internet aesthetic taking over our screens lately with its ultra-romanticised interpretation of rural and countryside life ...
BITS AND PIECES of this quintessential English countryside cottage have been featured here before (without us realising that they were all from the same place) because Charlotte's Folly, as this Shropshire cottage is known, ticks all the boxes of the things we love lately: Stripes and Garden Rooms; Blue and Pinkish Brown; and of course, using Curtains Instead of Cupboards ...
FELL DOWN a beautiful internet rabbit whole on my way to this place, the French country home of Cordelia de Castellane, the artistic director of Dior Maison and Baby Dior. Located an hour north of Paris, the five-acre estate dates back to the 15th century. de Castellane and her husband used to rent a small cottage on these grounds from the family friends who owned the property, long before it became their very own.
OUR LIVING ROOM in the English countryside has those charming wood ceiling beams that you would expect in a cottage in the countryside. And since moving here, my décor tastes have moved, understandably, in the direction of farmhouse and countryside styles...
THINGS HAVE BEEN a bit stressful lately―our site is full of holes at the moment where images should be (long story); I am currently locked out of the TIG facebook account (Does anyone have a fix for this?); and the pandemic is taking hold again...
Meteorologically speaking, we're in the final month of spring, but time has got away from us and we never had the chance to fully appreciate this season that comes before our favourite.
