So what do you do when you need curtains but you can’t afford curtains? You make them from a £10 dust sheet of course! I can’t take full credit for the idea, a good friend of mine did it before me and basically I have copied her, but as they say, imitation is the sincerest…

Minimalist bedroom makeover.
The title of this blog post says makeOVER, but I think makeUNDER would be a more accurate description. This room was ‘done’ before, but it really didn’t represent what I wanted from our bedroom, I’m not entirely sure how it ended up as it did, but I wanted change. It wasn’t terrible by any stretch…
Sunday garden thoughts…
As the weather improves, slowly, day by day, my thoughts again turn more and more towards the garden. Stu and I have had many ‘conversations’ (read arguments!) in the last 5 months or so about what we want for the garden, we haven’t seen eye to eye on many points, but I feel we have…
Quick, easy and beautiful twin slot shelving.
This is one of those blogs I’ve been meaning to write for weeks and weeks, but when I’ve thought about taking photos it hasn’t been the right time of the day, or the girls bedrooms have been a total no go pig sty (yes, believe it or not we are also human in this house,…
Picture framing life hack.
Isn’t it bloody infuriating when you’re trying to frame a nice print, you give the glass a good wipe to get rid of any marks/ dust, pop the print in, do it all up, flip it over and THERE ARE RUDDY SPLINTERS OF WOOD AND BITS AND PIECES STILL STUCK IN THERE!! So you do…
How to extend your home with style, for less than you might think.
Our extension plays such an important role in our home life, it has brought us a sense of freedom, space to exist alongside each other, but also room to breathe, to play and create. It means we can stay in the house which we had already made into a home. You see photos of it almost every day…
Happy things…
Hello lovelies, it’s been a little while longer than planned since my last post, I had hoped to be sharing Eula’s finished room with you by now, or even perhaps Nancy’s, but I’ve been fighting various bugs and exhaustion for what seems like forever and all projects have ground to a halt. I just wanted…
Chocolate and Peanut Butter mug cake.
Today I’m in a bad mood and not much can shift it, but in a brief moment of child free bliss I just visited a happy place, created in the microwave! Here’s the recipe for Chocolate and Peanut Butter Mug Cake… You will need – A standard sized mug 3tbsp plain flour 2.5tbsp caster sugar…
A day of nothing.
Today the girls are learning an important life lesson, sometimes you just stay home and do nothing. “What, nothing, no plans at all?!” Nancy declared incredulously this morning, a look of disgust on her face. “Yep. Nothing.” They’re a bit spoilt with entertainment to be honest, it’s quite often much easier to be out than…
A perfect world in miniature.
I just had to swing by and share with you the gloriously wonderful contents of a parcel that arrived today, all the way from Australia! I feel so lucky and excited about the forthcoming projects that will be inspired by these beautiful objects and I’d like to say a huge thank you to Steph @ Mostly…
