I had a video go viral recently on a different platform and wow did the trolls come out. One lovely guy told me my home gave him diarrhoea 😂😂. I think I have taste but I suppose taste is subjective. #maximalistdecor #maximalist #maximalistinteriors #moreismoredecor #eclectichome #moreismore

MAXIMALIST VS MINIMALIST, WHAT DESIGN STYLE ARE YOU? I presume if you are following me the maximalist aesthetic is your vibe, unless the algorithm bought you here by mistake. If you are starting your maximalist journey, you should prioritise intentional choices over quantity, avoid clutter by focusing on a curated and cohesive style. Maximalism is about creating a unique and personal space by embracing boldness in colour, pattern, and texture, rather than simply having a lot of things.  I love that each maximalist home is unique and that they bring joy to both your family and visitors. Here are some pointers to create your maximalist home: 1. Showcase your personality 2. Use bold colours 3. Layer patterns and textures 4. Create gallery walls 5. Don’t forget your ceiling, think of it as your fifth wall 6. Focus on a theme 7. Mix old with new. I love my vintage pieces mixed with new purchases 8. Never forget your lighting, lots of lamps creates an ambiance. #maximalistdecor #maximalist #maximalistinteriors #vintagehomedecor #moreismoredecor #moreismore #eclectichome

My account is a mixed bag of colourful, vintage, maximalist interiors, a bit of fashion, middle aged musings and dancing. If you like all that, do stick around. #maximalistdecor #maximalistinteriors #over50fashion #colourfulhome #vintagehomedecor

I’ve posted some pictures of my kitchen and bedroom after extensions compared to the rightmove pictures and a couple of the mid build ones. I didn’t used to take pictures of my home prior to Instagram, but my camera roll is mainly interior shots, thousands of them 😱 The side return in the kitchen and dormer extensions in the loft room have made a huge difference to our home and how we live. The ensuite bathroom living with two males is a game changer. During an extension it can be very stressful but always worth it, like giving birth you will look back and forget the pain you went though to have your joy 😂. Have you extended your home or would you? 💗 #kitchen #kitchendesign #kitcheninspo #bedroominspo #loftconversion #bedroomdesign #ensuitebathroom #pinkandgreen #pinkandgreendecor #ukinteriors #ukhomes #ukhomestyle #ukhomeinspo #maximalistinteriors #eclectichome #apartmenttherapy

“YOUR HARSHEST CRITIC IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE YOUR YOURSELF. DON’T IGNORE THAT CRITIC BUT DON’T GIVE IT MORE ATTENTION THAN IT DESERVES.” - Michael lan Black Are you your own worst critic? I wouldn’t speak to my worst enemy how I speak to myself and most of us have a strong internal voice that constantly criticises our thoughts and actions. It can manifest in negative thoughts, comparing ourselves to others or just being so harsh on yourself. It can be beneficial and great that we have self awareness, unlike narcissists, and we can use it for self improvement but too much negative self talk can lead to depression. I want to learn to balance it and be kinder to myself, I am on the waiting list for CBT but if anyone has any tips let’s share them and help each other 💗 #yourownworstenemy #worstcritic ##selfsabotage #lowselfessteem #womensupportingwomen #letssupporteachother

Let your home be a reflection of your personality! ✨ What makes your space feel like YOU? Enjoy your home whilst you are living in it and decorate for you and your personality. Don’t worry about when you might sell in the future. Adding colour to a home won’t reduce its value, you don’t need to make it greige. If you love colour, go for it, colour has a positive impact on your moods. #colourfulhome #colourfulhomedecor #dopaminehome #dopaminehomedecor #maximalist #maximalistdecor

Look how I transformed an old table I bought for £5 from the local dump shop into a fun bespoke garden table. I used legs from @The Hairpin Leg Co. This was an ad on another platform. #upcycle #upcycledfurniture #gardenproject #gardendesign #beforeandafter #tabletransformation #diyproject #diyfurniture

My name is Pink and I am really pleased to meet you. Actually it’s Nikki but I love pink everything so much I am thinking of changing my name, shall I? 😂💗 #pink #pinkeverything #ilovepink #pinkhome #pinkdecor #pinkhair #pinkhairdontcare

I AM SO PLEASED TO BE IN YOUR FEED, HOPE YOU AGREE? Are you here for the colour, the maximalist vintage look or me being a cringe wally on occasions? Not sure if that's what makes some people leave but I am being my authentic self, ask my poor husband he has to live with me 😂 Thank you for everyone that follows me and for the new people, I love creating content and the support I get from everyone. I have so grown as a person and just thank you so much. For the new people, I love vintage, maximalist decor, fashion, having fun and middle aged chat. I love upcycling old furniture and transforming rooms.

AGING IS ABOUT FINDING THE TRUE BEAUTY IN YOU, THE REAL YOU, WHO HAS ALWAYS BERN THERE.” – Cindy Crawford Do you like this new dress I ordered from @New Look Online ? I’m getting more and more confident with my fashion choices, last week it was getting my arms out and now a dress with a high leg split, go me 😂. I did put on some fake tan but I really like the dress and look, do you agree? My inner critical voice has been so kind to me recently and been a mute and I am enjoying feeling more confident Only a year or so ago I couldn’t bend my knees at all, arthritis issues, but after doing some strength training and regular squats I’ve gained a lot more flexibility. I must be honest, though, I have been very slack in doing workouts over the last month or so and do feel stiffer and flabbier so I’m going to get myself back into a routine. Do you workout, any tips you can give someone that has never been into exercise to make sure I do them regularly? #fashion #summerdress #fashionover50 #midlifewomen #womenover50 #fiftyandfabulous #over50women

“IGNORE THE CRITICS…. ONLY MEDIOCRITY IS SAFE FROM RIDICULE.
