LIFESTYLE | CHRISTMAS BREAK

One more week and then I am free.
Free to go home for a month and enjoy the Christmas period and all its fine festivities!

As much as I love my little workspace I think a change of scenery would be warmly welcomed right now.
 


Okay, I'm technically not free.
No... not free at all actually due to a lovely workload consisting of a 1500 word report, 3500 word project, 3000 word essay... oh and a  two hour exam to revise for too!
*and that 12,000 word dissertation but we won't go into that...


I do however have lots to look forward to! For starters...
I have a lovely family and (warm!) home to return to. Then there's the annual process of transforming our house into a tacky Christmas grotto (it gets worse every year...). Frosty winter walks in the woods. Plus I'll also be making Mince Pie's with my Nana - she is going to teach me how to make a GOOD pastry this year!

To ease myself into the spirit of all things Christmas I am hosting what will hopefully be a rather jazzy Christmas Dinner this Sunday with some of my favourite boyos and I also have a few little Christmassy themed cooking/baking sessions and projects lined up for the weeks ahead so I will be keeping you posted with those. 


But for me right now...

Bring on the home comforts and some Christmas cheer!

INSPIRATION | DESKS


Next DIY PROJECT for my new apartment: I am going to build my own desk!

I love these Vika Lerberg trestles which come in white and grey (and at £5 they are a steal!). I would like to have a white surface and I could easily go for the matching table top from Ikea, the Vika Amon but I would like to be a little more ambitious and reclaim an old door, pre-used work surface or a long, flat, rectangular shaped material. Your suggestions are all welcome!

I am a lover of big desks and work spaces. I like to have a large surface to work on and it's very handy for laying out several folders/books at a time or if you just want to get creative. 
The average desk is about 100cm in length and this just is NOT big enough for me.
