I am so excited to finally be sharing the fireplace remodel in the dining room with you. It's taken us a good few weekends to get this done but I have to say, I'm so pleased with the final look!! It took longer than we'd planned as we hit a few snags along the way and...

First off, sorry for the lack of post on Friday! I had a crazy week with not one but TWO film crews in my home. The first, I can't really talk about just yet (promise I will spill all as soon as I'm able) but the second is the one I spoke a little bit about in this...

So in my post on Monday, I shared the painted walls in our room in Farrow & Ball's Blackened which I absolutely love. Over the last weekend as it was a 4 day bank holiday weekend here in England, we took advantage and threw everything we had into getting this room...

So this weekend, we were finally at the point where everything in the room had been prepped, filled and panelled within an inch of it's life and we could finally get to the good stuff - painting. Now, as I mentioned in this post, I'd decided on Farrow & Ball's...

So for the last two weekends, we've been working on all the wall panels (or moulding) on the dining room walls. We probably would have finished it last weekend but half way through the work, our staple gun decided to die so we had to move on to a few other...

Apologies for all the dining room posts lately but well, this is basically consuming my every thought at the moment aside from client work and so I figured I'd share what we got up to this past weekend! As much as I'd love to show you beautiful pictures every single...

OMG you guys. I picked up my chairs at the upholsterer's this afternoon and so in love with them I am that I had to share with you straight away. I couldn't wait. If you have been following along with our little dining room remodel, you'll know that I decided to...

You might remember in discussing the design of the dining room, I talked about adding architectural features to the room. It's something that I knew would make a huge difference to the space and I couldn't wait to see how my relatively plain room would be transformed....

So the last time I talked about the dining room remodel, we'd managed to put the pine flooring down while Wayne suffered from a sore throat that turned into strep throat. He lost his voice for a while and we lost about 5 days of work time because I insisted he rest at...

If you've come here today hoping for pretty pictures, I'll just apologise now and tell you there isn't going to be any. If you want to see what the reality is behind all those pretty pictures, however, welcome to my post! Work started this weekend on the flooring. It...

So the weather has been absolutely shocking and picture-taking a complete disaster the last few weeks which will explain why I haven't been able to share much in the way of brand new images lately. It's a bit disheartening when you want to share stuff but it's so...

I had another post scheduled for today and I decided to scrap it because it bored ME writing it and so god knows how you would have felt reading it. The reason I'd written it, however, was because I wasn't able to share with you the new design of the dining room but I...

For me, rooms are always far more interesting if they have some architectural interest - soaring ceilings, large windows, beautiful cornicing, chunky window casings, wall moulding, etc. While of course more contemporary architecturally-led building designs can have...

I know this is going to come as a huge shock to everyone but yes... I am going to be abandoning my glorious deep indigo dining room and turning back to the light side. No, it's not because Rey is such a kick ass Star Wars character (because oh my god she so is) but...

So as promised on Monday, today I'm sharing how I'll be setting my table for Christmas. In the interests of full disclosure, it's actually going to be a small one this year! While we're spending time with his whole family on the day, for Christmas dinner, it'll just...

So as I mentioned in my post on Friday, I finally got around to putting the finishing Christmas touches on the dining room this weekend. You will have already seen my living room this Christmas which has been all decked out for a couple of weeks now. If you missed...

Well, I had planned on sharing a little Christmas gift DIY with you today but my printer decided to die on me and then the dark rainy weather had other plans for my shoot so it looks like that post is going to be delayed until Friday! So in the meantime, I did a...
