English homes

Merry Christmas, friends! Welcome! This is my 17th year (!) sharing our home(s) at Christmas with my friends on the internet. If anyone had told me in the years prior that this would be a thing I could do I wouldn't have believed it, but for sure would've been thrilled. It's been such a delight to have found so many kindred spirits who share a love of creating a home in every season.

A refined and historic mansion in the pastoral English countryside that is tied to British—and Hollywood—royalty has just hit the market for £13.5 million (US$17.7 million). The more than 300-year-old home is in Hampshire—an area also known as Jane Austen’s County for being the author’s beloved home for much of her life—is known as Shawford Park and the manor is thought to date to 1685.

This beautifully decorated home office features a vintage wooden desk with a drawer, a plush armchair, and a charming floral patterned window curtain. The room also boasts an antique telephone, a lamp, a framed photo on the desk and a few decorative items. Get inspired and create your own stylish home office today!
