Are your children like mine with an insatiable appetite and their heads always in the fridge? It’s pretty much the first thing they do when they get in from school, straight to the kitchen, fridge door open whilst shouting the first proper sentence they’ve uttered from collecting them from the school gates, “Mum. I’m hungry”…
For my last blog post of the year, I wanted to talk about one of my favourite events that I attended in 2019 and trends for 2020. A few weeks back, I was extremely excited to be invited along to the Dulux Academy with 4 other interior enthusiasts to celebrate the launch of their creativity palette…
My family and I were kindly invited* to stay at Pickwell Manor in north Devon for two nights and we were lucky enough to have a tour of the apartments in the Manor and the grounds…
On the 12th of September I was invited to a stunning location in London where Topps Tiles were revealing their Tile of the Year 2020…
Our guest bedroom. Probably the least used room in our house, but the most used room when it comes to redecorating!
It feels like only yesterday that Dulux announced it’s 2019 colour of the year, Spiced Honey. But here we are again looking at what colour trends lay ahead for the next year and Dulux have gone with Tranquil Dawn™
On Saturday 14th September 2019, I was lucky enough to be invited to the East Sussex Studio of artist Jessica Zoob to preview her latest collection – Inspired By Asia.
Compared to my house, my garden has always been a bit lacklustre. I’m not a gardener you see, not that I wouldn’t like to be! I just don’t know where to start and it scares me a little if I’m honest with you! We have grass, yes, but we even managed to kill that after paying the GDP of a small country to have a new lawn laid…
At the end of last year, sofa.com got in touch with me to see if I would like a new sofa for our living room and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We bought our old corner sofa when we lived in a house with a much larger living room and a huge open brick fireplace, so it was very large, brown and beige…
I recently revamped our decking in the garden and was very pleased with what I managed to achieve, creating something a little different to enjoy. Our problem now was, we had quite large and bulky furniture…
Adding a decking in the garden is such a great way of creating a social space for your family, providing a great extra living area for the warmer months. The problem in the UK is our weather! We created our decking space back in April 2017 and within two years it had become dirty, damp and unsightly.
Kids can sleep anywhere can’t they? In the past I have found my kids asleep wrapped around the toilet, on top of the kitchen counter and under (under?!?) the sofa. So, I never really thought too much about where they slept at night and what they were sleeping on…
I am rubbish at new year resolutions and frankly, stereotypical with it all. Every year I promise to get thinner/richer/fitter/become a teetotaller and every year I fail miserably. By January 10th I’m reaching for the wine…
Pantone have just announced their colour of 2019 and it’s….. Living Coral?!? Immediately it conjures up bridesmaid dresses, all twee and meringue like or a nail varnish that gets left unused in your make up bag…
When Command Brand contacted me asking if I would like to try out their products when creating a homemade Christmas decoration, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. I had seen a few twig tree decoration guides on Pinterest and several high street stores selling them for the festive period and thought they looked fun, simple and relatively cheap to make.
I’m a Mum and that means I drink a LOT of coffee, so I was excited to try out the new Tassimo My Way brewer…
When Natalie from Dalit contacted me and asked if I was interested in receiving a few samples of their gorgeous Dalit products, including candles, spices and soaps, I was immediately interested…
I was lucky enough to be given tickets by Axa Insurance UK to attend the Grand Designs Live show in the Excel Centre, London this week and what a fabulous day it was! I have always been a huge fan of the show and have watched it since the beginning…
I have been an admirer of Emma’s wonderfully colourful, whimsical and nature inspired prints for a while now. I was first introduced to Emma’s work when I was gifted an amazing Kruger fabric chair in pink which sits proudly in my office and always receives a lot of compliments…
