With its opulent regency decor, and stunning 18th century hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, The King’s Room was one of my favourites during my recent tour of Belvoir Castle. The wallpaper in this suite of rooms, plus a deep dive into the Castle’s archives, was the inspiration behind one de Gournay’s most recent projects, de Gournay x Belvoir, which now adorns one of the Castle’s State Bedrooms. @belvoircastle @degournay #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #castle #countryhome #countryhouse #englishcountryhouse #englishcountryhousestyle #sibylcolefaxandjohnfowler #colefaxandfowler #degournay #chinoiserie #handpaintedwallpaper #chinesewallpaper #18thcentury #interior #interiors #decor #decoration #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #regency #regencyera #daybed #antique #antiquefurniture #flowers (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosPL1aoEEM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Ballroom at Belvoir. This weekend, whilst her doors were shuttered, I was kindly invited to a private tour of @belvoircastle in preparation for her reopening to visitors on March 12th. It felt quite surreal to visit this historic Castle after seeing its resplendent interiors on The Crown and The Young Victoria, and I can’t wait to share more photographs from my visit. On a separate point, it was refreshing to note the warmth and diversity of the team at Belvoir. Belvoir want to share the history and beauty of The Castle with everyone, and want every visitor to feel welcome. Their refreshing approach to inclusion allows people from diverse backgrounds, such as myself, to share and cherish the best of English Heritage. @duchessrutland #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #dukeandduchessofrutland #historiccastles #castle #historichome #historichomes #historichouse #gothicrevival #gothicrevivalarchitecture #statelyhome #statelyhouse #englishcountryhouse #interior #interiors #ballroom #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #interiordesign #interiordesigner #art #artwork #portait #portraitpainting #painting #staircase (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/ConCkpxozSd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a beautiful end to the week that started very differently. (Swipe to see Saturdays adventure 🤦🏻‍♀️) Today though we headed over to @belvoircastle on behalf of @redbrickers to find a little festive magic. We were not disappointed. The Cinderella experience is beautiful & magical and I’m not ashamed to say after Saturday I had a little bit of a wet eye when I walked into the grand reception with the roaring fires & colourful Christmas tree. I love a bit of Christmas magic even as a 40something. I can feel it tingle through my core. The build up for me is always the best bit. I’ll share some more images and a blog post next week. Saturday though was a different story. Mason was running around with his brother tripped and hit his face on a cupboard. We ended up in A&E where they put him on some glue & steristrips. Thankfully other than the gash across his eye lid and a swollen eye lid there’s no lasting damage. 🤞 Now we are home ready for baths, a cuppa and a snuggle before school tomorrow.
