How To Create Outdoor Rooms
Today’s post is all about bringing the inside out to create your own cosy outdoor rooms. It’s very easy on Instagram to think that summer is almost over as I’m sure you’ve already seen posts about going back to school and even the odd pumpkin or two. But, let’s be in the moment an wring every last drop of summery goodness out of this record breaking year.
Well, hello there and welcome! I’m J.P.

Hi! I’m J.P and I’m so pleased you’ve popped by! Thanks for finding your way to my site. If you love interiors and gardens and a good old natter with a large dose of witty banter then you’ve come to the right place.
My forte is bringing the outside in. Using nature to beautify our homes is one of the easiest ways to add a new look to a space.
I’m a blogger, writer, creator and stylist. I publish a new blog post every Sunday and I write about everything from kitchen inspiration to garden planning to tips on how to find your mojo!
You can find me getting up to all kinds of shenanigans on Instagram @jpslifeandloves - I love seasonal styling and I’m known for my extravagant displays. We’ve just completed a renovation of an iconic 60s deckhouse on the coast and are about to start the renovation of a Gothic Victorian house along with redesigning it’s beautiful walled garden.
I’m married to the lovely Mr C and we have a sweet cairn terrier called Missy. Hope you stick around for a while, it would be great to get to know you. Jp xx
