Sparking joy in my home

January 19, 2019

So it seems I have gotten sucked into watching Marie Kondo’s ‘Tidying Up’ series on Netflix. The whole KonMari method has passed me by the last few years, I’ve never had any inclination to pick up one of her books. Then I saw what seemed like every single person I follow on Social Media talking...

A cosy living room area

January 24, 2018

Ah! While spring may be a little way off yet, I always find January gives me the urge to do a little early ‘spring cleaning’/decluttering/reorganising in my home. I LOVE the festive season, I couldn’t wait for my Christmas Tree to be delivered, couldn’t wait for us to decorate it as a family on the 1st December,...

Winter Home Makeover ~ creating a cosy space

November 17, 2017

The temperature has really dropped here this past week, though it’s been the kind of late Autumn days that I love – clear and crisp, blue skies, clouds of steam whenever you breathe out, crunchy leaves underfoot. November is always the month when I find myself creating a cocoon at home – if I could,...

Interiors | A bathroom refresh

July 7, 2016

Our upstairs bathroom in this house is lovely – it was brand new when we moved into the house, and after having had a bathroom older than I am in my last house, that was such a treat! It’s a fairly big room, with lots of light, a nice white suite, white tiles & grey...

Interiors | Home Office Refresh

June 10, 2016

When we moved house last year, I was super excited about the fact that I’d have my own office WITH A DOOR! At our old house, I had a little nook off our living room that housed my desk, but it had no door and was really dark. My new office is only small, but...

Home tour vlog!

April 13, 2016

Hello hello! This has been on my to-do list for a little while, and on Saturday I finally got a chance! I was home alone [bar Beastie} and the house was reasonably tidy, so I made a little house tour for you! I know I’m super nosy and love going for a virtual tour around...
