HOW LONG AGO DID YOU START YOUR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT AND WHY?

I started TCD about 4 years ago now and @tcdathome as one of my insta friends said why not start a home account as when you’re styling your art your home looks fab… and I did. I did it for a bit of fun but also to get some insitu shots for my art and then people could see how a certain design could be styled. It really helped with TCD. Now I do it because I love it!

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR HOME?

We live in a 1930s typical Glasgow extended bungalow. It’s a tardis. Looks small from the outside but has surprisingly large square footage inside.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR STYLE, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT?

Mmm not sure on that one. I like Japandi style. Sort of Scandi but cosier but I’m also a little bit more glamorous so I’m going with Glapandi…..see what I did there? I like to keep up with trends so I’m in love with the Japandi style right now. I’m not as minimal as true Japandi as I also like a bit of glamour. I’d say it’s probably …. Glampandi …. ???????????????? don’t steal that I’ve just made that up!

I’m trying to pare back my looove for accessories and get it more minimal but I struggle on that one. Sometimes less is more right? But I do like it more and more especially when it comes to accessories.

Or do you mean my personal style? Again for a lady of a certain age, I like to dress a little younger and keep up to date with fashion trends too to an extent but since lockdown, I think I’ve got a little too keen on my trainers

WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO YOUR CURRENT HOME?

Now that’s a tricky one, this house was in a TV programme ‘Try before you buy’ I’ve never seen it, can’t find it on the internet either but the couple who looked at it were so overwhelmed by the state of it that they rejected it. We came to view it and we came out of the house and I said to Bob “I think we’ve found our house” and he was gobsmacked!!! ????????…. Despite it being a homage to the 70s it had the most beautiful grounds, set back on a main road. It had beautiful high ceilings, unexpectedly for a converted bungalow. Great room proportions etc and I knew instantly that it could be fabulous once we got rid of the 2cm thick Artex on the walls and the Fife stone fireplaces ????????

WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE ROOM?

My lounge is at the front. I’ve finally found my style (whatever that is). I also got to throw a bit of money at this room to get it how I wanted it. Bob’s not massively keen on spending money on home improvements. He’d live in a house for years and never update it if it wasn’t for me.

BEST BUY?

Apart from favourite accessories we’ve just laid the patio out the back. Honestly, I can’t tell you how happy that’s made me. Our patio was in a terrible state and had been for years so I’m loving it right now. If the Scottish weather could improve I don’t think I’d need to venture into the house at all!!!!!
