Hi folks! I'm Isabelle and I live in the North East of England with my husband, Richard (generally referred to as Mr P on my socials) and our little feline princess, Pudding. A couple of years ago I started @thepavlouhome Instagram account, documenting the corners of our home as we add character to our modern townhouse.
Since then, I've become more than a little bit interiors obsessed and my Instagram account has attracted over 17,000 like-minded followers... something I never even dreamed of! By day, I'm a kids décor designer and in previous lives I've worked in fashion, PR and wedding cake design (I know, an eclectic mix!) so I like to think I have an eye for detail and styling. I was also a professional ballet dancer with the Royal Ballet in my younger years but that's a story for another time...
So why have I started a blog? Good question... I've always thought that while I adore Instagram, it's a visual platform and doesn't really provide an opportunity to share full experiences. It's a snapshot in time which is great - particularly because my life is generally so chaotic a well styled snapshot is about my limit - but with a photo, there often comes a story.
I recently lost my mum to cancer and it got me thinking about doing the things you've always planned to do but never got round to. So here we are... I'm writing a blog and if you're reading this, thanks so much for being here, I hope you'll stick around for the ride! I don't claim to be a design expert, I'm just a regular girl living in a regular semi detached house who loves a bit of faffing so let's see where this takes us shall we?
