Well I’ve been keeping a little secret. As you know since early 2025 I’ve been struggling to come to terms with the loss of my father. My life just seemed to be on hold as I navigated loss, grief and who I now am as a person who no longer has any family members left. No shared early memories to talk about ever again. But at the beginning of this year I started to turn a corner. I started to feel more me again and started doing things I love again.
One of those things was working on the house, I know I have marmite style but I love creating designs and seeing them come to life. This in turn has led me back to Instagram and feeling part of this wonderful community again. You’ve no idea how much you’ve helped me this last 18 months, for which I’m truly grateful. I couldn’t have done without you all 🥰
And now on top of feeling the most me in a long time (still a bit of a way to go) I’m thrilled to bits to be nominated in the home awards. It feels like I’m heading in the right direction now rather than endlessly treading water. The completion is strong and although I don’t think it likely I’ll win you have to be in it to win it, right 🙌🏻 if you have a moment I would love for you to vote for me. Here are all the rooms that’s are nominated. The link is in my Bio and a huge thank you in advance for voting for me👆🏻Rachel x
