Rethinking the LED bulb and Lighting Up My Dressing Room with Philips LED Deco
The following is a paid advertising feature for Philips LED Lighting. I admit, a few years ago when I heard that the EU would eventually introduce a ban on halogen bulbs, I panicked a bit. I considered stockpiling them, buying enough to last me a good few years so...
The Reveal of My Tiny Makeup Room & Vanity Space
If you follow me over on Instagram and watch my Instagram Stories, you'll know I've been busy working away on the tiniest (and possibly quirkiest) room in my house. I'd initially deemed it the 'Jack n' Jill' room as it's a term used in the States to describe bathrooms...
My Combined Office and Dressing Room (For Now)
This is a continuation of what you might consider my 'before tour' - the rooms that are liveable but are in no way, shape or form, complete! As a little background, in our previous home, the second bedroom was my office and the third small box room was my dressing...
New Dressing Room Light Fixture and an Updated Tour
So I told you on Monday that I finally replaced the light fixture in my dressing room. This is actually the 3rd or 4th light I've had in here (I can't even remember anymore!) and while I liked the sputnik style one I'd had in here before, more than a year ago the...
Video: Updated Dressing Room Tour
I know it's been absolutely ages since I filmed anything because it's been so dark and dreary for so long but a couple days ago the sun actually came out (I know, I'm as shocked as you are) so I figured I'd take advantage and do a bit of filming in the dressing room!...
Let’s talk about that one time I blew the budget…
Wayne sometimes teases me when I dreamily gaze at bigger ticket items that I'm going to have to remove the 'pretty on the cheap' line in my blog header. He's joking of course and I laugh but at the same time I have to think, "Am I being dishonest to my readers by not...
How to Make a Pelmet with Nailhead Trim
As promised, I thought I'd show you how I made the pelmet for above the vanity table in my dressing room. It is SO EASY honestly. I've never made one before and I'd seen a few tutorials online for very simple foam core ones but I wanted this to be a little more...
Custom Framing with EFrame.co.uk
So when I shared the dressing room reveal, I told you I would be talking a little more about the beautiful bamboo frames for my Leigh Viner prints that I got so long ago. You may remember that they were originally framed in some inexpensive John Lewis' numbers that...
Dressing Room Mini-Makeover: DIY Vanity and Pleated Skirt
I hope you enjoyed my reveal of my newly improved dressing room! As I said in that post, one of my favourite additions to the room is the larger and prettier vanity. My previous skirted vanity was very small (only the width of the shelving units) and wasn't...
Dressing Room Mini-Makeover: The Reveal!
This is pretty exciting for me. I decided in August that I was going to be giving my dressing room a little bit of a makeover before we started on the work to the guest bedroom/office. The reason for this is because I knew I would need the now (mostly) empty guest...
Dreamy Dressing Room Inspiration (and a sneaky peek of my own)
Seeing as there is only one little thing left to do for the dressing room mini-makeover to be complete, I had a decision to make. Do I rush that last item, sort the rest of the room and get it all done in time for a Monday morning blog post? Or do I give it a few more...
How to Make a Home Fragrance Diffuser with Essential Oils
I thought I'd do a little DIY post for a Friday that's so easy, you'll wonder why you would ever buy a store-bought fragrance diffuser again. I've been experimenting a bit with essential oils since my foray into both making my own soap and making my own beauty...
Dressing Room Mini-Makeover: My Ikea Billy Bookcase Hack!
I must say, I'm 3 weeks into my mini-makeover and the dressing room is starting to look sweeeet. One very big thing that we completed now is that the Billy bookcases are finally done (whoop!) and ohmygawd I love them. I'm not going to share them today all styled up...
Dressing Room Mini-Makeover: How to DIY a “Carrara Marble Slab” for Under a Tenner!
Oh my dear sweet lovely peeps... I have a confession to make: this might actually be one of my favourite DIYs ever. It's cheap, it's quick and the end result looks a million bucks. Oh yes, I wish I was exaggerating but trust me, I really am not.Now as you probably...
Dressing Room Mini-Makeover: Minty Fresh Chest of Drawers
So if you've been following along my little adventures in getting a moderately more sophisticated look in my dressing room, you'll know that I was struggling with what to do with my chest of drawers.A spilled bottle of clear nail polish meant I had to remove all the...
Dressing Room Mini-Makeover: My new ‘Mini’ Sputnik
So as I said in my last post, I'm in the midst of a little refresh (mini-makeover) of my dressing room. Nothing massive, just a few things getting updated and swapped out.One thing I really wanted to do was change out the light fixture from my girlie pink chandelier...
Meandering thoughts on updating the Dressing Room…
I mostly finished the dressing room about 2 years ago but already I'm itching to make a few changes. I know, I know, I always have like 16 projects on the go at any one time and as a reader, it must be frustrating as hell for you (try living with me, right Wayne?)....
Louis Ghost Chair (and some other new bits) in the Dressing Room
Not long after I moved the white bamboo chair from the deck to the dressing room, I realised that this chair was not really going to be a long term solution. There were two issues - first, the chair was a bit too big for such a tiny room... but more importantly,...
Adventures in Painting: That’s What She Said
I recently very kindly received a couple of Habitat picture frames for review. The first, a floating frame, was immediately called in to do service in my bedroom for an existing print which desperately required a new frame. The second, however, was a little more...
Meisha and her Adventures in Dressing Room Land
So this is why Meisha is not generally allowed to wander into my dressing room on her own. Here's what happened the day I took photos to share my latest dressing room updates.She notices of course that I have the camera so sneaks in for a closer look. She then...
Seasonal Refresh in the Dressing Room
I'm not sure how it's happened but we're in November, people. And the countdown to Christmas has started. I'm pinning all sorts of Christmassy things, I'm planning my gifts, my decor, my table. How has this year gone by so quickly? I know they...

So a bit of this happened this weekend.*pops champagne*I finally got shelves put up in the dressing room!! Woohoo! I've wanted to do this since forever. The shelves themselves I've had since last year when I painted them a glossy white. The brackets...
