Lessa Mattress update



In November last year we were very fortunate to be sent the Innovative new Leesa mattress to review.  You can read the original post HERE .   The post has continued to create a lot of interest with people leaving comments, emailing and asking questions on facebook and twitter.

My 15 favourite UK Home and Interiors blogs



As a (mostly) homes and interiors blogger, one of the things I enjoy when I have some spare time is to browse similar blogs.

Exciting times!

Thank you

Big Ideas, Small space


Searching for inspiration for my garden she shed, I recently came across an article on how to decorate a contemporary small space.

The White Approach Candle


I was just a little bit excited today when a delivery arrived.  It was a box full of beautifully scented candles for my soon to be re-launched website.

I came across the Scandinavian brand Lene Bjerre on Houseology recently and immediately fell in love with their classic design style.

DIY white stool makeover




Although I no longer paint or renovate furniture for a living, I still enjoy an occasional project.  When I saw two badly decoupaged wooden stools in a local Devon charity shop I knew they would be a quick and easy DIY painting project.

Returning to work in a "proper job" leaves me very little time these days to indulge my passion for bargain hunting and tracking down stylish affordable items for the home.  When I do find something and post it on my social media, I am often asked where or if it can be bought.

April #Stylewise


The trouble with having eleven year old twin boys is they no longer want to go anywhere in the school holidays.  Its a real trial trying to encourage them out of their bedroom and away from the computers and gadgets !  So I decided to take myself off yesterday for a bit of a mooch around the local charity shops in Heavitree and Topsham.  

The boys bedroom before & after


As the Bank holiday Easter weekend was mostly rained off, we managed to finish the makeover of the twins industrial style bedroom.
