Design Masters: The TV Show and our journey

I had such high hopes when I clicked the Submit button on my Design Masters Application.  I feel I'd added my vibrant and quirky personality in my personal statement.  Sharing stories about my craft and making skills and the various interior design projects I've started and completed on time. 

From the time I took it on myself to make 10 clown outfits fora staff conference, to the full house renovation we completed on our home. 

Long story short, I did not make it through to the audition stages. Disappointed is not a strong enough word to demonstrate how I felt when I received the news, however the shining glimmer of hope, came in the form of the opportunity to register my interest in Series 9 (2028).

So on this occasion, I've not got through, that said I have been consoled & delighted in equal measures that Series 7, has just returned to our screens.  

I'm two episodes in now and I'm amazed by the talent & creativity that all of the designers have demonstrated. Some choices, are out there, and not in my personal preferential interior design style; Victoriana, Shabby Chic meets Scandi. And that's okay, we should celebrate diversity & differences. 

Alan Carr, certainly brings the humour as the host/judge and Michelle Ogundehin is firm and constructive in terms of her feedback as the judge, plus she is joined by a guest judge each week, who are held in high esteem in the industry.

If you're an aspiring interior designer or about to start your next DIY project then I'd highly recommend tuning into iplayer and watching on catch up.  

Looking forward to following this series, who's your favourite so far?

A Blog about Blogs

I started this blog back in February, and every week without fail I've shared a blog a week.  It was in the hope that other interior designers, students or home interior lovers found it of use and I thought it would be a great time coming up to the half year point to stop and reflect.  Reflect on what's working, what do you want to read more about or indeed, what I have yet to explore.  As a business owner or freelancer building a following can & does take time & effort and as Country Interior Design by MJ is coming up to our 6 month review it's poignant to pause and check in with ourselves & you the most important aspect as to why we are doing this.  We have been sharing content of inspiration on Facebook and Instagram from the start with a clear weekly schedule: Mondays  Devine or Decadence  Tuesday  History of interior design  Wednesday  Feb 26: Room of Ferial August 26: Shine a light Thursday  Colour Psychology  Frid...

Holiday inspiration for your next interior design project.

This blog is how you could use your holiday as a way of inspiring your next interior design project & on our SM pages recently we had a focus on the Great British Holiday, go take a look at Country Interior Design by MJ Facebook & Instagram accounts to learn more. Each Seaside area of the UK, gives a different feel, be it Blackpool, whereby the bright lights and the Pleasure Beach dominates or right down to the most Southernly tip of Cornwall, whereby a more subtle, relaxed vibe is encapsulated?  I've been working on an interior design project for my portfolio and I read a great book: The English Seaside by Peter Williams. It's a great source of inspiration for a Seaside Interior design style. Whether your looking for a Retro Seaside makeover from yesteryear or you want to recreate your wonderful holiday memories in your home, in a more subtle way? The landscape of a typical resort has changed immensely over the years, however some things remain and can help you with va...
