Hi, I’m Jen
the face behind Love Chic Living
Hi, I’m Jen, In 2011 I sat around a table with two good friends and mulled over my next career move. I’d always loved home interiors and dreamt of owning my own shop one day, so whilst I waited for that dream to become a reality, I decided to create the next best thing: my own home décor blog.
Love Chic Living was born.
And a few months later it nominated for a national award. Over the next decade I would discover how that innocent café chat with friends would completely change my life for the better, forever.
Inspirational home ideas
Since buying my own home back in 2002, I’ve explored DIY, decorating and home improvements both on a budget and beyond. I’ve experimented, made many mistakes, and had a lot of success too. When children came along it seemed there was always a space that needed updating, usually to be more practical but I never wanted to sacrifice good design or beautiful spaces.
So, I found a way to combine both and make our home inspiring but achievable, practical but stylish. It didn’t always work but I had fun trying. I truly believe homes should evolve with the family as an extension of your personality, your changing interests and your routines.
They should provide comfort, solace and peace as well as inspire your imagination and ideas. They should adapt and grow with you, bringing joy and happiness and ultimately be a place where you feel safe and the truest version of you.a lasting mark on me. They taught me that beauty doesn’t come from a price tag; it comes from intention.
