The house is comprised of just one room and is totally off-grid with no electricity or running water. Instead Emma collects spring water from a nearby steam and uses candle and the open fire to light her home at night. She has a compost loo and uses the stream to wash.</p><p>Emma has lived off this land for over 20 years in a series of homes that she has built, some more successful structures than others that she has built using a trial and error method. She previously lived in a farm house on the land with her late husband and children. When the children flew the nest Emma felt comfortable to move out of the farm house and live closer to nature building herself this little home.</p><p>I really would urge you to check out the interview with Emma over at <a href="https://www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com/episodes/woman-builds-1000-tiny-earthen-home-to-live-close-to-nature-in-welsh-woods/">Living Big in a Tiny House</a> where these beautiful pictures come from. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was created for Artist Grahame King by Architect Robin Boyd in 1952 and after the authorities rejected the original one room dwelling later amendments were made in 1954 and 1962, adding a bedroom and the work space and studio.</p><p>This house was lived in by the same coupe for more than 50 years and I just love the eclectic, warm vibe thougthout the house.... not to mention my favourite feature of mid-century homes .. the large windows overlooking the gorgeous green of the garden.</p><p>Images found over at <a href="https://architectureau.com/articles/king-house-studios-by-robin-boyd/#">Architecture AU</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The pieces are then bisque fired and sanded to create a canvas for my favorite part: the design and glazing. My designs are inspired by both nature and negative space in objects. I start with a shape or line and move from there, always with a desire to create movement. Anything from nature—landscapes, sunsets, insects, and birds—guide my choice of colors. </p><p class="" style="caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); color: #4f4f4f; font-family: all-round-gothic; font-size: 14.015999794006348px; letter-spacing: 0.2803199887275696px; margin: 1rem 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Due to the nature of how I create each piece, they are completely one of a kind—the shape, imperfections, design, and color.

I never really felt like I had anything to say. I just posted other peoples pictures of other peoples homes, but for a while this blog was drawing in over 100k visitors a month. I got offers to work for famous brands and style peoples houses.... I never did. I don't know what people thought I was but I was never confident enough to be that person. In truth... I felt like a bit of an imposter. I was just a lover of other peoples houses, and I loved looking though websites to find dreamy secluded homes.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GZP3Wojxaaw/YUdxW6CiB7I/AAAAAAAAn5c/gbNl3lETm2AsOiZQw8FvIEg7FywqUdaOwCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bkitchen%2B1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="530" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GZP3Wojxaaw/YUdxW6CiB7I/AAAAAAAAn5c/gbNl3lETm2AsOiZQw8FvIEg7FywqUdaOwCLcBGAsYHQ/w452-h640/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bkitchen%2B1.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><p>Now having been away for sometime I am able to see Moon to Moon for what it is... a place to share the places that make me feel calm.

It feels spacious with the indoor/outdoor aspect and amazing views but in reality it’s a simple one room cabin so I had to get creative to make the space cozy. I downsized considerably, keeping only my most precious collectables and putting some of my books into storage. I have a dog – an Aussie, and it’s a dusty environment so using mostly earth tones and layered vintage blankets, linens and sheepskins that can be shaken out often has worked well. My bathroom seemed a bit dismal at fist but now I really love it —it’s like an outdoor shower inside, filled with numerous plants and the occasional frog!"</blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><p>I would happily wake up and make a cup of coffee and stare out at that amazing view.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOlCPJCwi_Y/YUd2NpFBYlI/AAAAAAAAn5s/D7XUs71EEPEt9_BZkrJbeJWKaTk-fgAcACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bbedroom.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOlCPJCwi_Y/YUd2NpFBYlI/AAAAAAAAn5s/D7XUs71EEPEt9_BZkrJbeJWKaTk-fgAcACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bbedroom.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cKE7VXci6Yc/YUd2Zio_bVI/AAAAAAAAn5w/GeFKMw8D33IfZHAhV8srYLthzEle6v2BgCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bbathroom%2Bearthship.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="530" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cKE7VXci6Yc/YUd2Zio_bVI/AAAAAAAAn5w/GeFKMw8D33IfZHAhV8srYLthzEle6v2BgCLcBGAsYHQ/w452-h640/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bbathroom%2Bearthship.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fpxmzs4WWmM/YUd2bk4El8I/AAAAAAAAn50/J0pJ9AUDmUQYJTtkM4MMWJ2Ogn2RvBRhQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bhouse%2Bblue.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="996" data-original-width="1600" height="398" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fpxmzs4WWmM/YUd2bk4El8I/AAAAAAAAn50/J0pJ9AUDmUQYJTtkM4MMWJ2Ogn2RvBRhQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h398/heather%2Bculp%2Btopanga%2Bcanyon%2Bhouse%2Bblue.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>All Photos from <a href="https://www.wearedore.com/lifestyle/mountain-living/" target="_blank">Dore</a></p>Moon to Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854458605237316140noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767473944052554087.post-11105103911121855322020-12-13T22:41:00.005+00:002020-12-13T22:41:50.760+00:00Molly Weasley and The Burrow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My son is just 6, and although I really wanted to read the books with him first, my excitement ran away with me one rainy lockdown day a few weeks ago, and we started watching the Harry Potter films.<br />
<br />
A few days later a friend asked me what character from a film I found I resonated with and why...... and to my surprise confidently poppoing up from my unconscious was the answer "Molly Weasley"!<br />
<br />
<br />
The why part of the question started with the thought that she lived in 'The Burrow', probably my true dream home. A home build on love........ cooked-from-scratch family meals, shabby old chairs covered in knitted throws, mis-matched crockery, wonky stairs, thread bare carpets covered with rugs, book shelves with the books squashed back in any free space... and then I recognised that actually this house and person resembled my own..... I even have a long haired ginger son.<br />

<br /><br />
<br />
<br />Its funny how through re-visiting films and books we notice the passing of time and the change in us. We are not the same person as we were first time around. I always thought of myself as Ginni Weasley in the past.....<br />

As Wagon conversions go this one is pretty epic! Not only that but it is near my parents in Powis. The best news is the stunning conversion is available for short rentals via<a href="https://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/wales/powys/green-cottage/under-the-oak"> Canopy and Stars</a> (this is not a paid post , just throught it would be of interest), the perfect place to retreat in all this current madness..... wht do you think?<br />
<br />
The railway wagon was used for many years for nothing more than storage.
Fittingly, it now houses a collection of weird and wonderful objects
that Jim has collected on his travels round the world as a cameraman.
Now that both the wagon and the owners have settled a little, the
transformation from railway carriage to living space has been completed.<br />
<br />
A full length glazed wall gives lovely views out to the commons and a
6ft 6” square bed invites you to spread out. The wagon’s original
ironwork has been used to make some of the fittings and the dark wood,
also remaining from the original construction, gives a lovely rich feel.
The wagon has gas hobs, a camping toaster and a Weber BBQ, plus a
firepit and log seats outdoors. The washing up sink, prep area, fridge
and other another gas ring are outside, undercover at the end of the
wagon. <br />Under the Oak is tucked between two barns and screened by
trees from Jim and Jude’s other project, Under the Ash, a converted
showman’s wagon. Each have their own private compost loo and share a hot
gas-powered shower, which are about 10 yards from both spaces. Although
they are quite close together and near the cottage, every effort has
been taken to give them their own areas and Jim & Jude’s friends
have been enjoying staying there for years.<br />

Okay so I am not going to lie, since my last post I have been caught up in a bit of an existensial funk......... and after promising to post more havent really been in the headspace to do so....<br />
<br />
When everything is ticking along nicely I float from my little family to college , work to outdoor spaces, cups of tea in cafes to the Buddhist centre to mooching around charity shops (thrift stores). Its not very exciting but simplicty works for me and keeps my mind steady.<br />

Now the rug has been removed, like everyone else I have become a little unsteady..... and for a little while abadndoned (or forgot) my tools to calm my mind. Maybe I just needed time to ruminate, think of poor outcomes for my loved ones and worse case scenarios at work (a nurse in the hospital)........so they could be released, captured and analysed, labelled, passified and then put safely in a box and stored.<br />

I am at the passified stage right now.......making the desent down from the clouds. Spring is in the air and new life is budding, I have my happy, bouncy, sensitive little boy home for the foreseeable, which feels like such a luxury..... building dens in the trampoline and cuddling up with a book under a blanket is pure heaven. The little fruits on my citrus tree are turning orange. The skys are clear without the airplanes flying in and out of Bristol airport. I have some wonderful friends.... and have discovered Zoom and Skype........<br />

Simply........ it is all in the details. It is the small moments that matter, the little wins. The sunshine pouring in through the gap in the curtains , the autumn turning the leaves warm orange and the sound of stepping on the crispy frost on the grass. I am so glad I am rembered. So grateful for......well..... gratitude lists.<br />

So the world has got a little intense but as a hospital worker and mother my two main aims for the up coming months are to keep myself grounded and healthy and to protect my son from too much anxiety. But I also really am feeling the need to return to Moon to Moon to post some beautiful relaxing natural homes and gardens...... to create my own little pocket of the internet that is free from anxities.... I hope you will join me ;)<br />

Todays post is inspired by my need to design my garden around a pesky (massive understatement) bamboo problem meaning grass is sadly out of the question........so remembering the beautiful gravel garden in the top photo a gravel based garden it is!! Im thinking gravel, potted plants, a compost heap and potentially a raised pond are the way forward for my tiny city garden, bringing in wildlife whilst remainng functional.... the ultimate place to chill....woo hoo!<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />

Today is valentines day and as sadly I am working a night shift, I thought I would share with you all a little something special....... The home of the Bergstein's aka Frankie and Sol, from the Netflix Show Grace and Frankie.<br />
<br />
Dont get me wrong the beach house is nice and all but Frankies house is where its at!! I have been meaning to do a post of Frankie and Sol's beautiful home since the first series came out 5 years ago (May 2015 to be exact), so here it is courtesy of some slightly dodgy screenshots from my ipad, haha! There are a fair few of the living room as that stunning mustard couch, mud cloth cusions and sculptures are just so special.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
The interiors for the prgramme were designed by Beuchamp Fontaine (can i have this job please!), who beleived that "Sol and Frankie Bergsteins home would have been inspired by their travels and love of art rather than any desire to keep up with the latest trends..... I imagine they brought most of their furniture when Sol first started making money and would have never replaced it"<br />
<br />
The real home belonged to a ceramist and a sculpturist and many of the items were from their personal collection. Other items were from Omega Cinema Props.<br />

Since Grace and Frankie began I have been dreaming of a beautiful blue kitchen like the one in that dreamy beach house, but have been a bit scared by the thought of such a dark colour in my otherwise very white walled house.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I came across the Birmingham (UK) home of Instagrammer Lisa Piddington aka Lisa_loves_vintage and my obsession with painting my kitchen blue was reignighted. I just love that rich colour and pared with some green sploshes and house plants, it really works and doesnt fall into the trap of being too gloomy.<br />
<br />
I love it..... what do you think?<br />

<br />
As a child we spent a fair bit of time at antique fairs and shops. My parents are big collectors of ceramics and glassware and we were often on a hunt in some far off town for <u>another</u> piece of Honiton pottery. When I was little I have to be honest I found it a little dull, I would rather be playing ,but there were some huge antiques shops that were mazes spread over a few floors of big dusty ex-factories. These buildings were fun and I just loved exploring the curios with my sister and choosing which shiny things we would buy for our houses when we were 'older'.<br />
<br />
Now i am 'older' I find myself drawn to these places once again, with the addition of charity shops, and can spend hours browsing without buying, just imagining where i would put that Victorian chair, Matisse print or beautiful glass paper weight, and fingering through the teaspoons and old wooden handled bread knives. The magic hasn't gone , I am transported back to the Narnia of my youth where anything is possible.<br />
<br />
When I saw these pictures of the <a href="http://essential-store.blogspot.com/2014/08/eseential-store-9.html">Essential Store in Japan </a>my curiosity was instantly awakened.... what is in those cabinets? what was that ceramic hand used for and who would give up that cute little tree, and most importantly how can i get one of those sets of bells hanging in the window..... and that blue and black painting....... and oh my.... the title of that book on the desk!!!! haha<br />

I have been drooling over the house of Bonnie (Zoe Kravitz) and Nathan in Big Little Lies for a while now and so thought it was about time I put them all together in one post. I love that open plan relxed Californian Look in the sitting room and that beautiful wooden kitchen .... dreamy!!<br />

If like me you have found yourself wondering what is upstairs, the same property was also used as a film set for 'Beautiful Boy', so below I have included some pictures from that set so you can have a peak at the upstairs.<br />

Having been a chronic sufferer of anxiety and a long term appreciator of aesthetics it is no surprise that I came to the practise of mindfulness with welcome arms. Taking a step back to appreciate the environment <u>as it is</u> brings an almost immediate stillness to my somewhat chaotic mind.... right now for instance..... I can hear the ticking of my little clock and the whirling of the laptop fan, I can smell the spicy aroma of my tea (yogi Himalayan ) and I am observing the dance of steam as it circles and swirls up from the mug below it .... and with a deep inhalation..... I am calmer. I am in the moment not my thoughts.<br />
<br />
........ although I try to keep this sense of calm with me throughout my day it isn't always that easy, contentment too is impermanent. Life happens, work can be hectic, children have tantrums, and Christmas shopping left too late, means battling though busy shops, loud Christmas music and neon lights overwhelming my senses. So the big question..... how do we bring mindfulness to these situations?<br />
<br />
For me it is a work in progress, I am trying to catch myself in these moments and bring an awareness to the feeling of overwhelm and the rush of adrenaline, and take a step back to observe...is it serving me? At work sometimes the answer is actually yes..... on a busy hospital ward I need the adrenaline to keep me going, but whilst Christmas shopping.... nope!. I am just allowing myself to get carried downstream, feeling the powerful pull of the hive mentality.... must consume, panic buy!!!<br />
<br />
So although moments like this when I am sat having a cup of tea, appreciating the smells, tastes, sounds and vision of my little house, may seem small, they are actually the starting point of something bigger . It is returning to this practise every day that is beginning to help buffer me from the outside world and the trap I can easily fall into. It is my reset button.<br />
<br />
So how about you? How do you recharge and find stillness? :) <br />

There isn't much I can say about this beautiful natural, earthy home that these photos don't already say. The property in Boulder, Colorado belongs to textile artist Ora and her family and I just love the open space and the combination of cozy and minimalism..... perfect!!!<br />
<br />

I have recently come to the conclusion that my sofa is just not comfy. It is simply not deep or soft enough and is not a good place to relax, however with a 'spirited' 5 year old in the house I am not about to splash out on my dream sofa as chances is blue tack will be mashed into it within minutes... so I am looking to update the sofa by removing the back cushions and replacing them with some oversized soft ones and maybe a throw, for some extra cold weather comfort!!<br />
<br />
So here is some comfy sofa inspiration for y'all :)<br />

Californian based bodyworker and natural dye enthusiast <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lucialaferme/?hl=en">Lucia LaFerme</a> has become a bit of a Instagram crush of mine recently, with her scrumptious plant dyed silk self care sleep kits and Botanically dyed French Linen Bedding. Her instagram page is unsurprisingly also a visual feast and I love to see little glimpses of artists home life, especially when its as beautiful as Lucia's.<br />
<br />
I have included below a selection of her beautiful pictures, and although Lucia does dye in colours other than yellows and oranges with Autumn on its way have decided to stick to this glorious glowing warm orange. I urge you to check out her work and visit her shop either via her instagram or via her online shop <a href="http://lucialaferme.com/">LuciaLaferme.com</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Inspired by Lucia's work I have just before submitting this post made myself a turmeric dye bath for my string shopping bag.... wish me luck!!<br />

I can't believe I have been away for so long, but it was very much needed. Blogging has actually been a big part of my life for a long time and having some time out felt good and bad. Some where along the way I had begun feeling maybe I should endorse all the branded stuff that others do?, or set up a shop and try and make a job out of this social media malarkey but I am not the most confident and to be honest I wouldn't know where to start... the pressure just mounted and I lost my passion.<br />
<br />
I started a couple of new projects, one of which was <i>finally</i> starting my training to become a counsellor, and I both needed it and intensly love it! There is a lot of personal reflection involved, which is throwing up some intense personal feelings and memories (which I am the queen of bottling up) but I can see myself changing , becoming more self aware and analytical (although as an anxious type this can sometimes be destructive, I am learning to challenge my inner demons by staring them in the face). I feel I may have finally at 38 found my direction.... like whoa!<br />
<br />
Anyway I am back....... I am not sure I will stick around for long and I am not putting any pressure on myself to perform......in my absence however I have collected some beautiful pictures.<br />
<br />
This little collection represent the awe of nature that can be seen from an armchair or whilst just pottering in the morning on a lazy Sunday morning.<br />

This beautiful cottage Roses Farm, is similar in style to my parents old cottage in Wales, and seeing these photos really makes me miss the old family home. I love this style of cottage with the exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and flagstone flooring, there is something so cosy and inviting about them..... and not a sterile surface in sight :)<br />
<br />
Snuggling up in front of a blazing fire, or sitting around the table in the dining room waiting for the aga to finish (slowly) cooking dinner. with a cuppa or glass of wine in hand..... bliss!<br />

As the days get shorter and the nights draw in I find myself finally feeling comfortable in my skin again. I am not a big hot weather person nor am I a fan of the summers revealing clothing (on me) and how exposed it makes me feel. So when Autumn arrives along with the chunky cardigans, boots and scarves I feel finally at peace. But I also find myself craving the smell, taste and sight of the forest, and around this time of year my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/moontomoon/cabin-fever/">Pinterest </a>account gets full of the most beautiful A-frame houses. So whilst sat curled up in a blanket (and sipping a fine Single malt), I thought I would share a selection with you guys.</div>

<br />
These stunning "third eye" hats are the result of a collaboration between <a href="https://lonehawkhats.com/">Lone hawk hats </a>and Honeywood vintage..... and I don't know about you but I just adore them!<br />
<br />
I have never really been a confident hat wearer but my aim for this winter is to finally pluck up the courage to rock a hat ..... I may have found the perfect one to help me on my way. Each hat is a one off, having been handmade and hand embroidered by the talented duo.....<br />
