A Relaxed, Boho Family Home on the Edge of A Desert

Why, hello there! How was your weekend? We were at a couple of parties in a row and I’m such a light weight these days, I’ve got a feeling it won’t be before Wednesday before I’ve totally recovered! Mind you it could be the nights in the VW Camper van catching up with us too – it was well worth it though – now I’m totally feeling the retro vibe! Perhaps that’s why I was drawn to the wonderful boho home of Matt and Tish, their twin girls, little boy and dog Lemon in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The town is located on the northern tip of the Chihuahuan desert – and it’s the ‘brown on brown beauty’ of the landscape that inspires their beautiful brick and mortar shop, photography and private home, the latter of which is packed with vintage finds, rich textures and a load of ‘plant babies’!

Isn’t it great to see a TV in a home tour?! I like the way it’s been wall mounted over a lovely vintage chest of drawers that Tish picked up in a local second hand shop.

In the blog survey earlier on in the year I asked what you wanted to see more of and many responded ‘real homes’. Seeing this space it’s easy to see why.  Tish’s instagram feed No Longer Wander is awash with little peeks into their everyday life at home – and the one above is a great example of this!

Though she be but little, she is fierce – and I put it down to the striking black grouting and plants!

I love the laid back style of Tish and Matt’s home, it feels so personal and lived in – just as a family home should be! 
And how gorgeous is Lemon? She looks so content on that bed! 
Is there anything that stands out to you? 
You can check out more pics and get more inspiration from Tish’s ‘No Longer Wander’ blog (which covers health, interiors, fashion and beauty) and instagram feed – and if you’re in Albuquerque I’m reckoning it’s totally worth nipping into her shop! 
We’re heading back to Sweden this evening – we’ve had an amazing time but it is going to be so nice to be home (I miss my bed!) – does it sound strange to say I’m kind of looking forward to a little routine and eating and drinking in a marginally healthy way again (at least until the weekend)?! 
I hope you have a great start to the week!
