Well hello there, I’m Amanda from The Ana Mum Diary blog. Welcome to the first Homes and Interiors round-up that I have written on behalf on BritMums. I’m more than a little excited to do this. Even though today is a tad chilly and very wet, I can’t help but feel a warm glow of excitement. Come on summer, and all of that summer styling in our homes and gardens, we seriously are ready for you now!
So what am I going to show you today? Well I thought I would pick some of my favourite blogs and the homes and interior posts they have written in May. Just to ease myself in, next time I’ll choose more of a theme I think.
First up, what I have been up to? Well I am just putting the finishing touches to my new ensuite, and have been writing about how I use Pinterest for my homes and interior inspiration…seriously what did we do before Pinterest?
This post caught my eye from Through the Garden Gate who has been wandering around Chelsea Flower show to get inspiration for her own garden. I too love Marilyn Abbot’s Topiarist’s Garden, the whimsical but uncluttered design was beautiful. Also from the Chelsea Flower show, some absolutely gorgeous images of the show gardens from The Cupboard. I hope they have have left you as inspired as they did me.
Keeping with the garden theme, I love this post from Love Chic Living about Garden Party inspiration. The eclectic dining, is a firm favourite of mine and so many gorgeous bright colours to bring in the sunny days.
I’ve got to say I am slightly obsessed with this post from Abigail Ahern, who talks about the cross design, in interiors. She has used lots of monochromatic images in her post, but says its also a look that works well, better in fact with colour. I’d be interested to hear what you think about this?
Finally, I love this post from Fabric Of My Life, who is attempting to be more green fingered from the comfort of this cosy corner of her home. I love this idea of having a place to sit and read all of my favourite interiors books, something I would like to do too.
So thats it for this month, I will be back same time next month. If you write anything about homes and interiors in the next month, please feel free to tweet me @gidders1, so that I can have a read.

Reading all of this is giving me itchy feet to finish our house sale and get into our new place (which is yet to be discovered as we're moving to the other side of the world!) I look forward to reading next months round up for some more inspiration. x
