So, yesterday I posted about how I was going to be painting a dresser in my kitchen so that the colour matched my taste in decor a little better. I was going to prepare, prime and then paint this particular piece of furniture. I even posted pictures of the two pots of paint I was [...]

Very rarely are people able to move in to new homes and have all the work they want to have done carried out by builders and decorators immediately. Some structural issues may have to be tended to for the sake of the building and there may be a certain amount of money put by for [...]

Hello! I’d just like to say that I am very proud to be British right now. The streets are still lined with bunting and the Union Jack continues to fly from most of the gardens and windows in our neighborhood.

This fabulous fireplace is in the room the Robert and I are currently sleeping in. I say currently because there is a room that would be better for us as it has more storage space but this room is opposite the children and we want to be near them right now. Anyway, I was [...]
