[AD - paid partnership] After downsizing to our li [AD - paid partnership] After downsizing to our little cottage, Chris and I now have to share the same office space on the two or three days a week when he works from home. We have one large desk between us and often swap sides based on what we're doing – if I’m photo-editing, I don’t like facing the glare of the window, whereas Chris likes to sit away from the door when he’s on video calls so that I can come and go without getting in the way. Being able to zip around on @carlhansenandson's beautiful and lightweight CH621 swivel chair makes things that little bit easier, and the wheels run smoothly over both our hardwood floor and woven rug. It's the kind of chair that works with all sorts of decor styles, too - I love the contrast between its sleek mid-century aesthetic and the rustic timber of our desk. #homeofficeinspo #deskstyling #minimalisthomedecor #rusticminimalism #simplehomestyle

[AD - paid partnership] A peek at our new home off [AD - paid partnership] A peek at our new home office, complete with @carlhansenandson's CH621 swivel chair, which I've been lucky enough to test out over the past couple of weeks. It was designed by Hans J. Wegner (of Wishbone chair fame) all the way back in 1948, but you'd never know it. It's the perfect balance of form, function and ergonomics, and I love the timeless aesthetic. There's a hint of industrial style about it, but it's also lightweight and elegant - and it fits beautifully into the rustic-minimalist interiors we're going for in our little cottage.

Cat versus half-built flatpack cupboard. You can a Cat versus half-built flatpack cupboard. You can almost see the battle going on inside his head. And a good job he didn't jump as we hadn't put the top on yet so he would have fallen straight through. Not the kind of thing I normally post - and a bit wobbly because I was laughing so much - but too funny not to share. #cats_of_instagram #funnycatvideos #renovationlife #catlife #sillycats
Hellebores in vases, hellebores on the wall, and s Hellebores in vases, hellebores on the wall, and sneak little peeks at our cottage renovation so far. I can't show much more as the living room is currently full of our newly delivered kitchen, the living-room furniture is piled up in what will be the dining room, and we can't even get in the guest bedroom for boxes. But we're getting there! And I really am in love with the light in this house. #cottagerenovation #neutralhomedecor #springhomedecor #softminimalism #simplehomestyle
