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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I bought two vintage trunks last year. They have stared at me since that time and regularly asked me what it was that I intended to do with them. Yesterday I finally had the wherewithal to make a decision on one of those babies and I got cracking in the afternoon. Currently it sits in [...]

Oh happy day (oh happy day) Oh happy day (oh happy day) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) Washed my sins away (oh happy day) Oh happy day (oh happy day) This was the song for this morning. I have no idea why it [...]

Dreams are funny things. Some dreams have the power to hurt and some have the power to heal. Dreams have the power to get us up and out in the morning as we work towards achieving them and dreams have the power to keep us buried with the bedclothes over our heads as we dread [...]

Today I’ve got a before & after for you and a wee makeover that has given this corner of the entrance hall a fresh new look. This is how this footstool looked last Summer. It was one of those purchases that was far too cheap to pass up even though I had no idea when [...]
