My Theory: Home, Chaos & Creating All the Things

This was a little piece of canvas that had been painted over a few hundred times and this was the latest effort, Many Layers to this one !!!

It seems I don’t do much social media at all.

Which, if I’m being honest, means driving traffic to my business is largely left up to the gods and stars.

At the moment, I’m kind of okay with that.

Yes, it means business is slower than what the online gurus would probably recommend. But it has also given me something I deeply value right now — time.

Time to be home. Time to be present. Time to focus on our girls as they navigate Year 12 — which, if you know, you know… it’s a lot.

And truthfully, home is exactly where I love to be.

I’ve always been someone who craves a cosy space to retreat to. A place that feels safe, warm, expressive, and unapologetically you.

As many of you already know, I’m obsessed with bed linen and home design.

My gorgeous lover has been busy renovating our bedroom, helping create the cosiest nook for me to paint, style, and simply be. He’s done the most beautiful job, and I can’t wait to share it.

My style? Eclectic. Layered. Comfortable. Soulful. Slightly messy. Very lived in.

My theory of home isn’t about perfection. It’s about comfort.Feeling held by your space.Walking into a room and exhaling.

We’re all different, of course, but I’ve realised I want to share what screams home to me.

So I’ll be adding a photo gallery to my website under a new heading: My Theory.

It’ll be a visual journal of bed styling and interiors I’ve loved over the years, along with some of the brands and products I genuinely use and adore. Over time, I’ll weave in my own linen, cushions, and homewares as they come to life.

That feels exciting.

So far, I’ve introduced my pattern designs through smaller products — purses, laptop and iPad covers, bum bags — all made in collaboration with the wonderful Betty CHAOS.

That collaboration has been incredible.

I love these pieces more every time I use them. They travel with me, live with me, and feel like tiny expressions of individuality. They’re eclectic, bold, a bit quirky — just how I like things.

But that’s not all I’ve been doing.

I’ve also fully embraced homemaker mode.

And honestly… I’m loving it.

Lately I’ve been making my own face wash, body wash, beard wash for Rod, dishwashing liquid, washing powder, bread… you know, all the everyday stuff we rarely think about.

It hit me recently just how many plastic bottles and chemicals we casually use without questioning them.

That sent me down another rabbit hole.

So now I’m basically a witch in my own kitchen, brewing all the stuffs.

And it’s been ridiculously fun.

I’m even thinking about sharing some of those recipes on the website too.

Which brings me to something I’ve been thinking about…

Maybe this business needs a slight name shift.

Maybe Nomad’s Palette is evolving into something broader.

Maybe it’s becoming My Theory.

Because if I’m honest, my brain doesn’t stay still on one thing for very long.

I explore. I create. I make. Then I find something else fascinating and dive into that.

And honestly… why the fuck not?

Why limit yourself if curiosity is your nature?

Why force yourself into one lane when your joy lives in exploration?

Maybe that’s exactly what this space is becoming.

A place where I can share all the things I love — art, home, colour, linen, wellness, recipes, clay, interiors, creativity, chaos.

And maybe you’ll benefit from some of it too.

I’m still doing the Wonky Cup Club with my mate Jess.

We’ve now made approximately 400 million tiny bowls and cups and still have absolutely no idea what to do with them.

They haven’t even been fired yet.

That’s still on the to-do list.

But the process is so So damn good for the soul.

There’s something deeply grounding about clay in your hands.

Which probably sums up where I’m at right now.

I can’t really take myself too seriously.

I’m flitting from one thing to another, exploring ALL THE THINGS.

I saw a shirt recently that described me perfectly:

“Away with the fairies… and not coming back.”

Yep.

That’s me.

So that’s where I’m at.

Enjoying myself. Creating. Learning. Making mess. Splashing paint. Brewing potions. Styling beds. Dreaming up linen.

And, in classic form, not sharing any of it until three months later when I finally get my shit together and actually post about it.

Progress, not perfection.

Always.
