Well what a year 2016 has been.
Personally, and in the wider world it has been a surreal roller coaster of a ride. I’ve wanted press pause a couple of times (at least!), as I’m sure we all have, but we just keep on keeping on.
More so than ever this quote by Roald Dahl…
“I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I’ll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else.
Brian Sibley: Or brains even?
Oh gosh, yes, brains is one of the least. You can be a lovely person without brains, absolutely lovely. Kindness – that simple word. To be kind – it covers everything, to my mind.
If you’re kind that’s it.”
Today I wanted to share some shots I took at the Rose & Grey showroom recently and I’m also rounding up my favourite posts of 2016. (more about Rose & Grey here)
So if you are a new reader then this will be really handy for you, if you are a regular reader there might be some you’ve missed.
First- these rules!! Perfect sentiment right?
Either way I’m wishing you a Merry Christmas and have super break.
I’m signing off now until early January but I’ll still be around on Instagram if you fancy saying hello.
So my favourite posts of 2016 are;
- My Bathroom Reveal
- Shop Small Manchester
- Chairs on Tour
- Ten Blogger Bedrooms
- 72 Hours in Berlin
- Dungarees and Daydreams
These are my favourites because had had the most fun doing them and/or they were such a big projects. Do have a browse.
Here’s to a happy and healthy 2017 for all of you.
See you on the other side!
