A bit about me
I’m Elle, a journalist and writer, who spent over a decade working on newspapers before I swapped reporting for renovating and in turn developed a bit of an obsession with interiors. Over the last five years, I’ve been creating content on social media, contributing to blogs, working with home interior brands, and writing a book (all whilst trying to make my three feral boys slightly less feral and slightly more socially acceptable). I grew my Instagram account (@elle_the_home_bird) to over 1 million followers, but it’s over here on Substack where I get a little more personal.
Along with interiors, I love biscuits, beaches, and trawling antique stores and flea markets. Clothes and books make me extraordinarily happy, and I have a penchant for decorative plates and jugs. If any of these things pique your interest, then you might just enjoy my weekly newsletter…
‘Unfiltered Thoughts & Joyful Things’ is just that; thoughts from my busy, slightly chaotic brain and a merry mix of things that are lighting up my world. I also quite often mail out some midweek musings; occasionally opinionated pieces that you might love, or you might loathe. Either way, hopefully they’ll make you think, or just escape the world for five minutes.
Every single subscribe to my small but quirky corner of the internet makes me happy, so please do consider joining me over here.
