I love it when I have time to get my sewing machine out and throw myself into a project. I bought this gorgeous @bennisonfabricsuk fabric so long ago - I just had enough for a cushion and then what else to do with the leftover scraps than to make sails for a little boat I’ve had for years!
This photo is taken from the bathtub in my bedroom (😂) with St Michael’s Mount in the background. I feel like she’s happy being able to see the sea! I thought about lining the sails but I’m so glad I didn’t, I love how the light comes through.

This little cabin room is one of my favourite spaces in The Georgian Flat… 🤍. It’s tucked away and always feels peaceful and calm. It’s just like sleeping on a cute ship but without the seasickness ha ha.
There are two large king bedrooms in addition to this extra cabin room, so it works really well for families or a small group by the sea.
If you’re thinking about a Cornwall escape this year, bookings are open… You can book The Georgian Flat via the link in my bio ✨
Feel free to DM any questions, and there is, of course, a discount for my followers!

The living room at the Georgian Flat. Dogs are we

The living room at the Georgian Flat. Dogs are welcome! The best girl in the world should probably be sitting on a blanket though 🙃 We are all spruced up for the new season - the perfect base for exploring west Cornwall. Sleeps 5, central but leafy and quiet location in Penzance with parking. Let me know if you’d like the details xx Lottie

A tiny ensuite… just 165 x 145 with sloping ceilings thrown in! The layout more or less designed itself. The shower sits where the ceiling is highest, and there was only room for the loo and basin to be opposite each other.
I kept the palette soft and layered in texture — tiles, marble, wood, brass — which gives the space warmth and depth.
If you’re working with a small or awkward room, this is your reminder that it can still feel really lovely and elevated with the right layout and materials 🤍

I’m constantly rearranging (as stress relief ha ha

I’m constantly rearranging (as stress relief ha ha) so I’ve added a few little spring layers in here… keeping it simple with soft coastal colours but with a lot of texture to keep it all interesting. There’s 2 kinds of rattan, a touch of brass, some warm terracotta… and then I’ve mixed in a few patterns, I’m obsessed with this chocolate spotted jug with the delicate print of my GP and J Baker lampshade.
Also… I’ve had this chest of drawers for years. It came painted in this soft blue, but I keep thinking about stripping it back to pine 🤍
I can’t decide if that’s a really good idea or one I’d regret 🙃
What do you think — keep the blue or go natural?

Tiny ensuite reveal 🤍 This little shower room sits

Tiny ensuite reveal 🤍
This little shower room sits up in the attic with sloping ceilings, so the layout more or less designed itself. The shower had to go where the ceiling was highest, the basin had to be narrow, and everything else squeezed in around it. Tiny rooms definitely keep you on your toes 😅
I went for pale textured tiles, penny marble on the floor, brushed brass fittings and a simple rectangular sink that’s actually surprisingly practical.
The style is what I’d call Scandi country, soft colours, clean lines and lots of texture.
It’s a good reminder that even the tiniest spaces can have loads of character and warmth when you layer materials and keep the palette calm.
I’ve written all about it on the blog, comment if you’d like the link.

I spent my Sundays cleaning Stamping Cottage and rearranging furniture lol but also had a lovely breakfast with my girl and a walk on the beach with the poodles. 🌸
Just a reminder that if you’re planning a Cornish escape this year, we now have a few places to stay… hurray!
• The Georgian Flat – sleeps 5 in central Penzance • Stamping Cottage – a quiet little hideaway for 2 • Tin Barn – our gorgeous barn will sleep 2 and is nearly ready!
All designed by Tin Coast Design in our relaxed English coastal style.

Really loving my shelves at the moment 🤍 I keep catching myself standing there with a cup of tea, admiring them (very exciting life I lead 😂).
If you fancy a little spring refresh, I’ve rounded up some lovely home finds on the blog and in my Shop My Favourites — comment below and I’ll send you the link!

I finally got around to adding a little café curta

I finally got around to adding a little café curtain in the kitchen and I’m so glad I did. I used a telescopic shower rail (from Screwfix!) with a leftover curtain panel, which made it such an easy, no-drill update.
The hem is still pinned at the moment 😂, but I already love how much softer the window feels while keeping all the natural light. It’s one of those small changes that makes the whole space feel more finished.
I’ve shared the rail hack on stories today and I’ve also got a full café curtain guide on the blog if you’d like to have a look. Let me know if you’d like the link 🤍

Honestly convinced sunshine through the window is better than therapy ☀️ (almost!)
January absolutely wiped me out — dark days, illness, zero motivation and a full creative slump 🙃 (10/10 do not recommend lol). But February already feels lighter and I’m finally getting all the ideas back again.
Which obviously means I’m back designing spaces and dreaming up lovely interiors… If you’ve been thinking about giving a room a refresh this spring, my design consultations are open — link’s in my bio 🤍

One of the questions I get asked the most is where

One of the questions I get asked the most is where my rugs are from, and they are nearly all vintage finds. They go perfectly with my slightly english country coastal design style and instantly make a room feel layered, relaxed and lived in. Anyway, I put a bit of effort in this morning (lol) and rounded up some really lovely vintage rugs that are currently for sale! I’ve shared a few of them on these slides but there’s more! If you’d like links to the full edit (which is on our blog) then just comment below and I’ll send them over 🤍 (I’m trying really hard not to buy them all myself right now!)

For someone who really loves Christmas, I’m always slightly surprised by how pleased I feel when it’s over, and the pressure’s off.
I loved decorating our new house, and we were spoilt with the most perfect winter weather – not too cold, dry days and sunshine that made beach walks feel easy and lovely.
Now I’m itching to take everything down and start afresh for the new year 🤍
