ADVICE

Ahh yes, finishing a room. Well, THAT never happens around here. Not in its entirety, anyway. The truth is, I'm forever adding and subtracting and swapping things around in pretty much every space in my home. For the purposes of today's post, however, I'm using that...

So first off, I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who commented on the blog and on social media about my new pretty dining table! I'm so pleased you all seem to love it as much as I do! And while it was certainly an investment piece, I know that I'll have it...

If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I LOVE a good table setting. I don't know what it is about them but getting a little creative and styling them is my jam - even when there's no real occasion. Now, over the years, I've amassed a few...

Champagne tastes with a 'Cava' budget. That's me. I seem to always fall in love with the most utterly ridiculously expensive things in shops and then baulk when I realise I'd have to take out a second mortgage to afford it. And yet that doesn't stop me fancifully...

After my blog post on Monday about my visit to Grand Pacific, I have been thinking about wow-factor spaces. Ya know the ones that as soon as you enter the room (or look at it on your screen), you get that little intake of breath? Yeah that. I have always strived for...

I am so excited today to do a little follow up on my blog post How to use Pinterest to Define Your Personal Style. In it, I shared my tips on really boiling down your ultimate style descriptor to three single words. It was only once I was able to do this myself that...

I'm a sucker for a nice little side table. I look at them all the time on various websites despite the fact I already have a couple of them at home and the even bigger fact that I don't actually need any more. I'm still tempted because they are so cute and so...

So, apparently, it's Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere. While the days are definitely longer and the sun is most certainly higher, it's still been pretty cold here the last few days so it doesn't quite feel like Spring. But there is one thing I almost always do...

I am a big believer in the splurge. I spoke a little bit about those items that are worthwhile investments within my post about mixing high and low. But today, I wanted to go into a little more detail about what I think is worth a little extra cash if you've got some...

So you may or may not know that while I'm a total geek when it comes to interiors, I'm a bit of a makeup junkie as well. I can talk about getting the perfect flick on your eyeliner or my favourite foundations until the cows come home. That new palette from Anastasia...

I am not much a rule follower. You may be surprised to know that when I was younger, my family were very religious. I was brought up in an environment where there were rules for just about everything - who I was allowed to be friends with, what kind of clothes I could...

I think if anyone knows anything about the decorating trick I'm talking about today, it's fashion bloggers. They seem to know exactly how to make a budget work to create a really high-end look without spending silly amounts of money on absolutely everything they are...

So let's just be straight up right now. Is my home always "Pinterest perfect"-ly clean? Hell no. I have 3 insane animals running around at all times and a hard-working bloke that works in the automotive industry for goodness sake. However, my home is normally about 15...
