I’m having a bit of cabin fever at the moment. Since the end of May we have been decorating our living room, which means our main family space has been the dining room for the last five months. At first it was quite fun to be camped out in the dining room with all the... / READ MORE /

Update on the Front Room

In May, I wrote a post about how we were going to decorate the front room, that used to look like this: Two months on, and dear readers, the progress has been so very slow. Our first major delay was that we discovered that the joists underneath the floor had rotted. The whole room used... / READ MORE /

We are living in a world of wallpaper samples at the moment. Despite us saying all last year that the kitchen was going to be our next project we have changed track and have decided to do the lounge instead. Our reasons are plentiful.

My Dream Kitchen

Our plans to re-do the kitchen are still stuck in the planning stage. A fresh leak has appeared in the ceiling that needs dealing with and even without that leak we need to save up some cash again before we can go ahead with the next stage. It’s frustrating but the good side of having... / READ MORE /

Bright Red Doors

One of the first things jobs we did when we moved in to our new house was to paint the front door a bright pillar box red. The sight of our front door still makes me so happy whenever we pull up to the house. It’s such a cheerful colour to welcome us when we... / READ MORE /

Our Kitchen Pre-MakeOver

I love looking at home make overs, being able to see a whole room, garden or even house transformed before your eyes and the satisfaction of seeing a before photo melt away to reveal the After.
