My name is Rosie…

…on the first of October 2021, I did the most adult shaped thing Ive ever done, I bought a house. A huge house. This was off the back of 6 years living in LA with my rock band Bones Uk, then a year traveling around America in my Toyota Highlander not knowing where the hell to go or what to do. During this time I stayed in various different airbnb’s or homes, always choosing somewhere as creative as possible. I found great inspiration from these spaces. Castles in Austin, apartments in the French quarter. Then landing in Nashville. This was the first house I saw, and the gut twisting idea that some “new build wanker” would come and tear out the indoor fountain and the intercom systems meant I had to make it mine. I spent the next two years of my life renovating, decorating and drinking. Talking to myself and dancing on my own. And, although male shaped friends came and went, I did this by myself. It challenged me in ways I never thought possible. It was isolating. It was tough. It was relentless. Learning to trust instincts I didn’t know where there. Learning how to forgive myself when bad decisions were made, learning the hard way that, epoxy resin is NOT the same as polished concrete….like at all. Letting it go when money was lost, furniture was broken, paint was spilled and breathing through every time, (and it was every time), you would arrive home from a hardware store to realise you’d forgotten something and had to go immediately back. The radical acceptance of that this was just what it was. That the only person I could rely on to finish this was me. If I didn’t know how to do it, I had to Learn. Having a vision and moving towards it with every scrap of energy I have. Highs and lows and all the inbetweens.

Through out my life, it has been one of my core beliefs that a creative space brings out creativity. A playground helps you to play. I love a theme. Environments that cradle, that fan the flames of your imagination and let it burn. I want Rosie O’s to be that. I want you to feel able to get as weird or as cozy as you need to. I want you to make art, music, memories and love here. My home. Is your home. Enjoy every drop.
