The New Year House

While I do adore layering the house in Christmas, there is something deliciously cathartic about its undressing in the New Year, and as this year I want January to signify perhaps more than it has in the years gone by, this week I set about creating The New Year House, the sixth in my Seasonal House series and a gentle, calm guide to embracing renewal and domestic renaissance (my 2023 word of the year!).

Slightly longer and more in depth than my previous hugely popular Seasonal House editions, The New Year House follows a similar format with essays, puttery treats, book recommendations and more, but this time also includes a timetable for refreshing the house, thoughts on renewal, domestic detoxification and the connection between emotion and domesticity, and a set of recipes for home so that you can choose to enjoy during a quiet couple of days in the New Year refreshing soul and sanctuary.
