Updating the Front of Our Home (Finally!)
I know, it's been quite some time since my last post but I figured this was a makeover I was too damn pleased about not to stick on here along with a bit more explanation and images than what I can share over on Instagram. And well, if your summer plans include...
How Lighting Can Impact Your Kitchen Design
If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know that one of the biggest renovation projects we tackled was our kitchen. Ripping out the entire back of our house, adding a small extension, moving one wall and entirely removing another, adding a large skylight...
Summer Deck Refresh with Boho Accents
I thought I'd pop on and share a little update I've been working on over the last few weeks as I've managed to give the deck a bit of a new look for this summer in our back garden. This little area has changed a few times since we've lived here but when we first moved...
Why Samsung The Frame TV 2020 Should Be in Every Interior Lover’s Home
The following contains an advertising feature for Very who have kindly sponsored this post. Well, it's finally happened. I have been waiting for years now (3 1/2 to be exact) to update my living room with the Samsung Frame TV before I felt like it was really complete...
Budget Refresh: Old Kitchen to Updated Utility and Candle Studio
Back in February, I dreamt I'd moved into an old dilapidated apartment (or maybe it was a house, I'm not sure) but the kitchen had all this orange pine panelling and strange sliding cupboard doors. It was old and out of date and quite frankly, pretty ugly but in the...
Going Low-Key: My 2020 Christmas Living Room & Tree
It's been a funny ol' year hasn't it? Not funny as in 'haha' obviously just a strange beast. In years past, I would have fully thrown myself into the Christmas prep, planning my tree, planning my dining table, planning DIYs, buying ALL the bits and pieces to make all...

Where to Splurge and Where to Save on Your Bedroom Remodel
The following post contains a paid advertising feature for Habitat. It may seem common nowadays - at least on social media and on TV - to revamp a room entirely from scratch within an unreasonably short period of time. From start to finish, the entire room is done in...
Combined Office & Dressing Room: Making Progress!
The following post is not sponsored but I was provided with the paint and wall mural in exchange for coverage by Earthborn Paints and Woodchip and Magnolia, respectively. This post may contain some affiliate links which means if you click on a link and make a...
My Combined Office and Dressing Room Renovation Starts Soon!
I'm working with a few brands on this project although this post is not sponsored and falls outside of those agreements. It's taken a long time to get to this point but I'm so excited to say we'll be starting very soon on the renovation of my combined office and...
The 6 Best Renovation Decisions We’ve Made So Far
As of the end of March, we had lived in our home in Shrewsbury for 2 years and while we haven't actually done as much work to our home as I'd have liked this year due to world events, I wanted to chat about the things we have managed to complete that have had the...
A Few Cute Additions to the Guest Bedroom
I have to admit, one of the things I've really missed about the restrictions we currently have in place is that I haven't had any overnight guests for months. It's something I really love and finally having a dedicated guest bedroom to provide to friends and family...
Transforming the Neglected Back Facade of Our House!
The back of our house has been a bugbear of mine for quite a long time. When we'd first moved in 2 years ago, it was certainly liveable (I knew we'd eventually want to repaint it) but it was only after we put in the small extension for the kitchen that the situation...
6 Ways to Squeeze Storage into a Small Bathroom
So first off, thank you so much for all the positive comments I received on my little bathroom refresh! I'm so happy so many of you seemed to love it (and if you haven't seen it yet, you can catch up here). I had a comment about it on Instagram from someone basically...
The Reveal of our Peach and Gold Bathroom Refresh (Phase 2)
Hey it's my first reveal of the new year! Whoop! And while I keep adding to the list of things I want to do this year (currently deciding between the utility room/bathroom downstairs and my office), I knew I could squeeze in a small update to the bathroom over the...
Plans for the Bathroom Refresh (Phase 2)
You might recall when we moved into our home (nearly 2 years ago now - how fast does time fly?!), within weeks of moving in, I decided to update our bathroom. I knew a bit of paint and some accessorising would make a big difference to the space without having to spend...
My Christmas Living Room & Signing Off til the New Year
So the Christmas tree has been dressed, the presents have been wrapped and we're less than a week away from the big day. For me, Christmas is always more than just one day. It's all the planning and prepping that goes on before, seeing the twinkling lights in town,...
Christmas Decorating in My Kitchen and Dining Room
I feel like I'm usually much better organised in the run-up to Christmas but this year, I definitely feel as though I'm chasing my tail. Recent national events have left me feeling a bit out of sorts and emotionally exhausted and all I really want to do is plunge...
Dreaming and Scheming: Planning the Utility Room
This may very well turn into a rambling stream-of-consciousness post because I've got way too many things going on in my mind and what better place to put them all down than my blog? And then you get to have a little peek into how my brain works which, to be fair,...
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...
Renovation Complete: The Reveal of Our New Taupe and Pink Dining Room
So it's our second reveal of the week but today, it's the turn of the dining room! If you haven't yet seen the kitchen reveal, then I'd encourage you to look at that one first. We spent the last 6 months tearing out the back of the house, building a small extension...
Renovation Complete: The Reveal of Our Green Pink and Gold Kitchen
We finally made it, folks. After 6 months of dust, tradesmen and chaos, I'm finally sharing the results of what has been rattling around in my brain for nearly 2 years. I'm not even really sure where to start but I suppose we'll go back to the beginning. That seems...
Pretty Utility: New Bits for the New Kitchen
As you are probably already aware, we are just at the very tail end of a rather large renovation project that has taken most of the year - knocking down walls, adding a small extension and creating a brand new open-plan kitchen-diner. It's been a hell of a journey and...
Transforming Our Non-Working Dining Room Fireplace
Some call it a non-working fireplace, I call it a 'hole in the wall'. The place where there was at one time a fireplace and at some point in time, someone (tragically) decided to rip it out, plaster it up and call it good. I've seen quite a lot of them in my time and...
