My Living Room Midi-Makeover Reveal in Autumn Colours

I mentioned we were going to be replacing the flooring and the sofas in the living room on my Instagram not long ago, referring to it as a 'mini-refresh'. Well, I was very quickly corrected by someone who said, "A mini-refresh is some new cushions!" Ha! And I realised...

Refreshing Rooms with Something Old, Something New

I think it's a combination of shorter days and the loss of sparkle that Christmas brings, but every year in January, after the Christmas decorations all come down, my home feels a bit flat. What I tend to do is give my spaces a little bit of a shakeup so they feel...

Let There Be Light! Updates in the Living Room

And.... I'm back! So I've had a whirlwind couple of weeks whilst I've been away from the blog - some of it dusty and messy, some of it rather lovely. The week before last, as you may recall, we had the electrics replaced in the living room, master bedroom and hallways...

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...

Blogger Stylin’ Home Tours: My Christmas Living Room

I spent this weekend in cosy Christmas rapture! Whilst the winds and rains swept all the remaining leaves from the trees, I was knee-deep in baubles, glitter and greenery. I stuck on Smooth Extra (which plays just Christmas music at this time of year if you didn't...
