February 19, 2014

Image by Mirage floors Decorating different rooms around the house and updating the furniture can sometimes feel like a real effort, and the work and cost involved can sometimes be enough to put you off and put up with what you have. But during their childhood, there will be a number of times over the...

Where I rest my head

February 11, 2014

I feel like all I’ve talked about lately is decorating! The trouble with painting one room, is that then you realise that all the other rooms need a fresh coat too. I’d been thinking about decorating our bedroom for a while, it was magnolia {ugh} AND had the most hideous beige-y border I’ve ever seen....

Living rooms, sideboards and hiding the mess

I’ve talked recently about us having been redecorating our living room, and how it isn’t a very big space.

Girls Room Re-do

October 16, 2013

I’ve mentioned a few times in the last couple weeks that we had workmen in, putting insulation in the ceiling of the little girls room, and then re-plastering it. Last winter it was so cold in there, and because of the cold, we had issues with damp, so we’re hoping that this will solve that...

Kitchen Makeover

May 9, 2013

I finally got the time over the last weekend to re-do my kitchen. It’s a tiny room, the walls were the yellow I put on a year or two ago, but they were a little grubby and I’d kind of fell out of love with the colour. The cabinets – well, I’m guessing they are...
