As you know, if you’ve been reading me for any length of time, I like white things in my home. My walls are white, my soft furnishings are white and my ‘stuff’ is white. I decorate and collect in this way because I like the way white makes me feel. And that’s it. It’s that [...]

I have a room that is full of ‘bits’. It has been emptied since we moved in and now it is full again, of other ‘bits’. This room will either become the dining room or the snug and is just off the entrance hall next door to the kitchen. If I can’t find something it [...]

My folks popped over last weekend and offered their help here at the new house. I was thrilled because one of the things I had my eye on repairing was the old wooden dryer hanging above the Rayburn oven in the kitchen. The wood and cast iron pieces that constructed the dryer were actually still [...]

I have four rooms in the loft at this new house. One is an office, one is a small space where my sewing machine and craft supplies are kept, one is a bathroom and the last room is this one. It is a craft room but will double up a guest room as time goes [...]

Morning! Happy Friday everyone. Friday? Again? Does that not seem a little odd to you? It all goes by so quickly. A project that is still ongoing is my Easter table.

Good morning! How are you? We’re good here, my twins are making us laugh a lot nowadays which is something that brings more joy than I know what to do with. A deep joy that I didn’t know existed. If someone had asked me what it was that I was most looking forward to about [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday was the day that I turned the house in to an absolute bomb site. You see I started a giant spring clean and the way I do it is to make an enormous mess first and then spend a week getting it all cleared up, much to my mum’s bafflement. She would do it [...]

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 [...]
