Hi, I'm Grace, and my obsession with interiors goes way back. I still vividly remember the pure delight of decorating a small garden shed at age 11 with vintage net curtains and charity shop finds. It might not have been "cool," but it was my space, and I absolutely adored it. That thrill of creating beautiful environments has never faded – though thankfully, my net curtain phase has evolved into a love for all things playful and colourful! (My affection for charity shops, however, remains as strong as ever.)
Our move from my native London to Manchester almost four years ago presented the perfect opportunity to fulfill a long-held fantasy: renovating a Victorian semi-detached home, complete with all its original charm (and real fireplaces!). With sleeves rolled up and paintbrush in hand, I embarked on the project. No grand plan, just a joyous process and an intuitive desire to fill each room with colours that brought me joy.
This creative adventure began finding its home on Instagram, under the name @fromlondontomanchester and has led me right here, to a truly "pinch me" moment.
I'm thrilled to share my world of colour with you, offering practical insights and the tips and tricks I've picked up along the way. I want to show you that incorporating colour into your home doesn't have to be daunting, kitschy, or overwhelming – unless, of course, that's exactly what you're aiming for!
All approaches are celebrated here.
