DIY and design ideas for the whole family
Brrr. Winter is coming. I am definitely not a cold weather person and need all the heat I can get. So we had a log fire installed when we renovated our place. Seriously, it is the BEST thing. On a Saturday night in winter, the three of us are often found curled up on the…
I recently discovered a ton of different sized gym rings lying around. When I buy crafting materials, I tend to over-buy and then forget about them. Are you the same? What do you have in your stash? I decided it was time to do something with these beautiful wooden circles and came up with the…
Are you doing sober October? I love the idea of a booze-free month and try and do one month a year at least but sometimes two. This year, I’m even more up for sober October because I’ve discovered dry drinker. A shop that sells, beer, wine, gin & tonic, spirits and more. What’s unusual about…
The dream is to have a room that is my very own home office. All mine; just like the home office pictured above. Until I can make that dream come true, I’ll continue to work from my kitchen table. But that means I have to be more organised and tidy as it’s not a permanent…
Do you make inspiration boards? I love making inspiration boards for so many things like when decorating a room, or gathering new recipes when I’m in a food rut. But most of all, I like making inspiration boards for when I’m feeling a bit blah and feeling stuck for ideas. It’s at these times that…
It’s that time of year when all I can think of is back to school and back to work. The summer is always a fun, family time but work tends to take a backseat especially if you’re a work from home mum with no childcare, like me. With back to school and back to work…
Getting all snuggled up in bed with a good book is one of life’s amazing little pleasures, right? And come the cooler autumn weather, this pleasure gets even more appealing. This got me thinking about creating a calming, inviting and cozy bedroom environment in time for autumn. After all a bedroom should be a place…
Why are bathrooms in England so small? Even if you live in a big house, somehow the bathrooms are still small and worse, most houses don’t have enough bathrooms. I dream of having one of those pinterest worthy bathrooms where you can fit in a free standing bath, a sofa and even an elephant if…
My favourite DIY’s are the quickest and easiest ones. A little project that can be done in minutes and still adds something to your home. And todays extremely budget friendly DIY wall art is all about this. Finding art for your walls is never easy. It takes time and can cost a lot. But still…
Getting a house renovated is never easy but turning a house in to a home takes even more time, effort and thought. After a big renovation, we’ve been trying to turn our house in to a home. We keep doing bits and pieces in each room, but never finishing one room completely. So I decided the…
Arguing with your other half is never fun. But it’s a part of married life, isn’t it? The biggest fallout my hubby Richard and I recently had was on our parquet flooring. The long war of herringbone vs. chevron became ugly! In the end herringbone won (Richard’s choice – boo!) and I considered divorce (just kidding!). But seriously, had…
