Well, I can actually confidently say that my dressing room is probably the nearest room to 'done' that I have in my home which is pretty damn amazing considering we've been living here over 2 years now.   Well, that's what I was thinking as I was moving everything...

Welcome to my still-unfinished-but-getting-there dressing room.Oh yes, I know you've been here before. Come in a little more and maybe you'll notice there's something different afoot!  (I kill me.)I finally got my new rug.  You may remember I posted that I...

I see pretty lacquered boxes in blogland all the time.  In real life?  Not so much.  It seems the ones I have seen here and there available in the UK are 'designer' only and aren't priced reasonably enough for someone on a meager budget like myself.Just...

The first thing I want to talk about in this post is wallpaper.  Man, it's hard picking it out.  I love the transformative power that pattern plays when introduced on such a huge scale in a room... however being painfully aware of it's permanence (save for...

So when I last left you, I told you about some of the really ugly messy work that went into getting this room into some kind of shape ready for the fun part of making the room pretty.  Let me warn you now, there are a lot of pictures!  I got a bit snap...

So I've been spending some time trying to get the dressing room into some kind of habitable state recently.  In fact, I had a week's holiday and instead of making like a normal person and booking off for some warm sunny climate, I decided that I would tackle this...

So I think it's been something like 8 months since I've done anything in the dressing room. The truth is, I have been itching for a new project.  W's time has all been taken up with the cellar remodel (something he's pretty much doing on his own) and it's a room that...

First things first, I just wanted to say hello to my gorgeous new followers!  I have finally, after erm... over a year, hit 3 digits on Google Friend Connect!  *crowd cheering and confetti thrown*  Thank you and welcome - oh and by the way, your hair...

I'm so excited to finally be able share this before and after with you!  Let's just say it's been some time in coming.There is something really lovely about fading roses, don't you think?You may recall that the recently painted and wallpapered chest of drawers...

*Disclaimer: Ok, so maybe not amazing but I thought it had a nice ring to it.I think after my last post, I realised how much work my dressing room really needs.  But until we are finished with the kitchen, I really can't spend loads of money on this room (much as...

After my post last month of my newest colour crush of coral and turquoise, I have been thinking about the direction I want to take my dressing room.Obviously, at the moment, our focus is on the kitchen but it doesn't mean I'm not allowed to dream about other rooms,...

After 11 glorious days off, I finally have to go back to work tomorrow.  *sigh*We've had amazingly sunny weather nearly every day which I can pretty much guarantee you, NEVER happens in Manchester so it's been a rather nice little stay-cation.  Part of that...

After finding out that we had a false ceiling in the kitchen and spending this weekend putting up plasterboard and generally getting very excited about how the kitchen is shaping up, I had no idea the house wasn't done rewarding us for our hard work just yet.I'll go...

It's the little things that make me happy.  And one thing that did not make me happy was looking at all the mismatched hangers on the clothes rail in my dressing room...Wooden hangers, while absolutely lovely to look at, were simply not practical.  I have...
