What do you do to make everyday special? Do you do anything to celebrate the smaller, ordinary moments, or are you happy to let life wander on? Recently, I’ve given this a lot of thought, particularly as the house was…
Today, I’m giving you a peak into our newly built, decorated and furnished attic bedroom. The builders are still here, but we have this one room pretty much done now, and before I do a full room reveal next week,…
If you’ve been following the attic conversion here on the blog, or on social media, you’ll know that it’s almost done. We’ve had a few more developments in the last week since the last blog post, but I’m going to…
So, I thought that this update would be one of my last but alas that’s not to be. The work has been hit by quite a few delays over the last month and so things are a little behind. It’s…
So it’s been a month since my last attic conversion update, and so much has happened. At the time of the last post work had only really just begun. It felt quite big at that stage, and it was all so…
I was recently challenged by Voyage Wall Art to use their wallpaper in a DIY project, in a way other than just on the wall. Well you know how much I love wallpaper, and here’s how to use it when…
You may remember from previous posts here and here, that we’ve been working on plans to convert our attic space into a new bedroom and small en suite. We live in a semi-detached Victorian house over 130 years old so…
It has been confirmed that our attic conversion won’t start until August now. It feels like this has been dragging on for years but I guess that’s another lesson to learn when undertaking house renovations; they never run smoothly. As…

As you may know from this post we commissioned an architect at the end of last year to begin drawing plans to convert our attic space into a bedroom and small en-suite. That last post looks at the initial plans…
No matter how hard I try to keep things organised and sorted, as a family we seem to accumulate more and more things. The garden is no exception, and our once under utilised garden shed is now bursting at the…
As I mentioned recently in this post, we are hoping to crack on with our loft conversion very shortly, or as it’s affectionately called here #ProjectAttic. We’ll be turning the space into a bedroom and en-suite for me and the…
It’s no secret that finally, after many years of wishing and hoping, our attic is to be converted. We live in a Victorian semi-detached dating back to 1895 and there are some aspects of the design and layout that make…
Last year saw me collaborate with Homebase to makeover our back garden. We tried lots of plants, fruit trees and garden accessories, but one of the most exciting products we tested was the ‘Garden on a Roll’. This ingenious product…
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working hard behind the scenes on a collaborative project with HomeSense and the Huffingtong Post. I was challenged to fix a design issue in one person’s home using HomeSense products, with the results…
I’ve been busy working on the garden all summer, with the help of Homebase, in the hope that we will give it a gorgeous Mediterranean makeover and create an oasis of calm and colour. I love the spending time in…
So things appear to be really moving along with the Garden project now, and with the help of some lovely products and plants from Homebase it is all taking shape. If you’ve been following progress so far you’ll know how…
As you know I’m spending the summer working with Homebase on a makeover for my garden using their garden on a roll product. After several years of neglect the garden was looking tired and unloved, and definitely needed an injection…
