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...
My fantasy home office and what a psychologist said about it!

An Office Update (and why it’s not getting a makeover!)

The Big Four Goals for 2015
I do these lists every year and there are certain items that crop up again and again and yet, somehow we never get to them. I reckon I'm completely unrealistic in what I think we can accomplish in a single year but that never dampens my enthusiasm come January when...
