Beautify your walls – Desenio Posters & Art Prints

April 5, 2016

Desenio are a Swedish-based site that sell posters online. They recently got in touch to ask if I would be interested in collaborating with them. I had a quick look at their site and knew they would be a great fit for me. Since moving house, most of our walls have been bare. I had...

A Spring #Shelfie

March 1, 2016

Ah! Spring is most certainly on it’s way. I can see it in the blossom on the tress, and the bulbs poking through in my garden, feel it on the rays of sun shining through my kitchen window as I write this and smell it on the breeze. This winter has felt long and dragged...

The heart of the home

Since we moved in, we’ve really been enjoying having one central ‘hub’ where things all happen… our old kitchen was tiny and quite sperate from the rest o the house. This meant if I was cooking I was somewhat isolated, and just didn’t work well for...

Childrens Shared Bedrooms

February 2, 2016

source While we have five bedrooms in this house, one is downstairs at the far end of the house, so we wanted to keep everyone sleeping upstairs together, for now at least. It means that Kiki and Baya share a bedroom – they did in the old house too. Before we moved they had bunkbeds,...

A living room wishlist

February 1, 2016

One of my favourite things about this house is that we have more than one living room. After spending six years in a teeny house with the smallest living/dining room, having space to spread out is a huge treat. The kiddos have a playroom, we have a den that functions as a ‘man cave’/sleepover/guest room...

Top tips to give your wardrobe a New Year Detox

January 27, 2016

Just after Christmas, I finally got around to sorting out my wardrobe. I had a mini-clean out of it when we packed up to move house last June, but it had been on my to-do list for the past 6 months to give it a proper detox and organise. Even after getting rid of a...

Hygee, cosy Autumn evenings and a Houseology Wishlist

November 3, 2015

Autumn really feels like it’s arrived properly this week. It’s dark by dinner time, nd the past two days here in North Wales have been foggy, cold and damp. November is probably my least favourite month – though I’ve decided this year to embrace it and make the most of cold evenings and snnuggle up...
