White Black Grey Blog — Brilliant Blogs

It's been a while since we've done a "Brilliant Blogs" post and I thought it was about time. Also, I was looking for some tile inspo, and found exactly what I needed on That Scandinavian Feeling, so I thought I'd have a scout around and see what else this blog had to offer.  Well I certainly was not disappointed. That Scandinavian Feeling is a nordic lifestyle blog run by Ingrid Opstad. The byline for the blog is Hygge, Home & Travel, so pretty much exactly what I want to be reading! Ingrid originally hails from Norway, currently living just outside Milan...

Welcome to our latest "Brilliant Blogs" post. Where we write a blog post about other blogs that we think are brilliant. Meta. This month, we're looking at Simply START Living, a lifestyle blog run by the very lovely Amanda Start, formerly known as The Online Stylist.  We first came across Amanda's blog as she was a customer of ours (is there a better way to discover someone you're likely to have tastes and values in common with?) and have been enjoying her refreshing, honest and thoughtful writing ever since.  A quick glance at the menu headings elucidates the main areas of...

Welcome to our latest "Brilliant Blogs" post. Where we write a blog post about other blogs that we think are brilliant.

We recently...

I'm delighted to see a strong theme emerging in current posts from bloggers I follow. That is the concept of a slow and simple Christmas. All sorts of thoughtful posts are popping up with considered advice on how to approach the festive season in a quieter, more minimal, or more sustainable way.  This idea speaks to me very personally. I have never been a huge fan of Christmas, and whilst of course I love my family, it's never been a time of year I particularly look forward to. I suppose (and this sounds ridiculous now), I had never considered it...

Welcome to our latest "Brilliant Blogs" post. Where we write a blog post about other blogs that we think are brilliant. Meta.  This month, we're taking a look at Hearth and Nook, a beautiful little blog by Laura Willers. Laura is an interiors and lifestyle writer, blogger and consultant based in East of England, so not too far from WBG Towers. At the heart of Hearth and Nook are the twin ideals of slow living and minimalism. Laura's posts are honest and personal, and we've really enjoyed joining her on a journey in pursuit of a simpler and more authentic...
