I have recently been so lucky to come accross the Southwood Social Hub, ran
by Hayley and also location of her Southwood Stores showroom. I fell in
love with everything on display and I warn you interior lovers that you may
not be able to leave her store without treating yourself to at least one
stunning piece of Scandinavian accessory for your home.
Two years ago I had no idea how much things were about to change. I never

(Keep reading for some really cool stuff you'll want in your home I found there!) I'll kick...
I'm a huge lover of art. I can visualise art prints in each and every one of my walls, and at times I have to stop myself at one statement piece (or a few if we are talking about my picture shelf!). I just don't like looking at bare walls, and it fascinates me when they tell a story.I am not talking about expensive art. I am actually talking about canvases, prints, pictures, even DIY art. Anything goes, because there isn't a one size fits all formula when it comes to using art to decorate your home.
