Introducing My Brand New Finishing Touch Styling Service!
Update 2021: Please note, I'm no longer taking on Finishing Touch clients. Thank you to all the wonderful people I've worked with over the last 2 years! I can not be more excited to be sharing the details of a new little venture (EEEK!) but first a bit of...
1 Glam Dining Room 3 Different Budgets
Back last year, I pulled together two different room schemes - a living room and a bedroom - but shared how you can get a similar look on three very different budgets. Each room was presented three different ways whether you were working to a smaller budget, a...
Get the Look: Menagerie Restaurant, Manchester

1 Glam Bedroom – 3 Different Budgets
You may remember that I recently created a blog post called 1 Glam Living Room 3 Different Budgets which you guys seemed to really like. So since I had such a positive response to that one, I'm back again today doing something similar but this time with a bedroom...
1 Glam Living Room – 3 Different Budgets
I know everyone out there has a different budget. There's plenty of you who are hard-core bargain hunters and others who are totally happy with saving up for the occasional splurge while looking out for the best prices for everything else. And of course, there are...
A Message to Straight Men: It’s Cool to Like Interior Design
Before I started my blog and when it was still in its infancy, I worked in marketing. And in marketing, you are told that you should always have your 'ideal customer' in mind when advertising just about anything. You will go so far as to create personas in marketing...
The REVEAL of Marjorie’s Contemporary Romantic Living Room
I am SO excited to be sharing this post with you today. You might recall that for the last few months, we've been working away behind the scenes to transform my Mother-in-Law's flat. You can read all about it in this post but essentially, the flat had been horribly...
My MIL’s Flat Makeover: Contemporary Romantic Design Plan
Late last year, Wayne's mum moved into a new flat. Well, it was new to her but not technically new. Ya see, it was a long ol' process getting her into this flat. Wayne's mum is a widow and an OAP and sadly, had to give up her house a few years ago after her husband...
Get the Look: A Visit to the Eclectic Glam Grand Pacific, Manchester
I recently visited The Grand Pacific, a new restaurant in Manchester's old financial district and the former home of the Reform Club. It was the last project of Living Venture's Tim Beacon who snapped up the property as soon as he heard it was going to be up for sale...
Golden Glam Moodboard with Kylli Sparre Art
I mentioned in my last post about how art is one of those things that I don't mind investing a little extra money in. While I'm happy to include a few mass-produced pieces here and there, whatever I do use I have to have some kind of emotional response to it. It's...
My Valentine’s Day “Love Tray”
This is sort of a weird one because I wasn't planning on doing two Valentine's Day posts. My first one - the romantic breakfast table setting - was always on the cards but this one was a little more organic. I was sent an incredibly gorgeous tray by Sweetpea and...

Bedroom Refresh: Textural Neutral Moodboard
As I spoke about last week, I've decided to give the bedroom a bit of a seasonal switch up for the Autumn/Winter season. I want to get this completed pretty quickly and so it's merely a matter of swapping out the really colourful items with soft, textural neutrals...
Boho Man Cave Design Revealed
So as I mentioned recently, Wayne has finally allowed me to get my hands on his 'man cave' - which is essentially the cellar of our home. At the moment, while it's certainly habitable, there are a lot of unfinished bits and pieces that need to be sorted out. You can...
