Finding the Fireplace

Front Bedroom Fireplace - 1

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 [...]

The One Where Robert Hammered the Kitchen Cupboards - 2

This is our new kitchen. It no longer looks like this, this open and empty, there are quite a few boxes in here now.   When I first walked in to this kitchen it was the light that I loved the most. And the view from the sink (sheep), and the fact that I could [...]

Dining Room Shelves - Before and After 7

Well hi there! I’ve got a little before and after for you today. This is the Dining Room in the house we are currently living in. It’s a beautiful bright, square room. It’s sunny during the day and gorgeously cosy in the Winter. I love the fireplace and I wish we’d had more time in [...]

Kitchen Makeover -before

I think most of us have things in our homes that we’d like to get sorted out before Christmas. Christmas being the time when a great many of us spend a large chunk of time at home. For me I wanted to have a portion of the kitchen, if not finished, then well on its [...]

Kitchen - Before - 4

This is the kitchen. It is, without doubt, my favourite kitchen in the world. Certainly the best one I’ve ever lived in, cooked in, eaten in, chatted in and thrown bagels at Robert’s head in. It has huge windows and a tall ceiling. And a lovely light and airy feel as well as a fabulous [...]

Terrace Makeover - 11

Hello! Would you like to see my new space? Just outside of the Living Room sits this fabulous decking area. The house is quite high off the ground so this serves as a wonderful area to sit and look out over the garden. Especially at nighttime and early in the morning. I love those times [...]

Happy Ever After - 10

Good morning! It’s sunny here in West Sussex, sunny but very chilly. When I look out of the window I can imagine that it’s balmy and warm and then I see that the trees are bare and I know that the breeze is in no way cooling but freezing. But, BUT, the sun is out [...]

Makeover Corner – Part One

Gilt Mirror Makeover - 1

There is a corner at the end of the hall that doesn’t have an awful lot going on in it. It’s a lovely space with a window right there so the light that is thrown in is delicious. It needed something doing with it and I had two pieces that I’d had in mind for [...]

Knitting Box Makeover With Pin Cushion

Sewing Box Makeover - 1

I’ve had this knitting box since 2006! It has followed me from my flat in London, to my first house with Robert and now resides here with us in West Sussex. I love the shape and I love how light it is. But I didn’t EVER like the finish. It was also no use to [...]

Entrance Hall Bookcase makeover - 1

I’m all about comfort. I don’t like things too tight on my waist, never have. I don’t really like my midriff showing, never have, even before I had twins but definitely not now *crinkle crinkle*. I love wearing heels but if truth be told I prefer my big socks and when I’m at home on [...]
