You may remember at the end of last year I had a visit from the very lovely photographer Colin Poole. Colin spent the day at my home photographing it for Idea Home Magazine.

New Tap !
5 Jun 2017
I'm not a great one for entering competitions but I have a bit of a problem when it comes to beautiful taps! When I saw the gorgeous Waterfall Tap over on the Bathroom Takeaway instagram page was up for grabs, I thought no harm in entering.

I don't remember when it was, but I do remember the impact the wonderful Magnolia - Fixer Upper programme had on my husband and I as we had our first ever experience of watching this inspiring and uplifting couple.

The January Sales
11 Jan 2017
I'm not a great one for the January sales anymore. As I have got older I don't seem to be able to cope with the disorder, rails of sale items, tables piled high with last season's rejects and crowds. I prefer instead to bargain hunt all year round.

Aspiring to buy and still look great in your clothes when you are over fifty, can sometimes feel like a real struggle.
Feel the Hygge

Becozi
I've been a lifetime admirer of all things Scandinavian. From the furniture to the landscapes and in particular the philosophy behind the Danish word Hygge (pronounced hue - gah).

I've been approached on numerous occasions over the years to have my home featured in an interior home magazine but never felt it was up to the scrutiny of those beautiful glossy pages full of immaculate homes and stylish interiors.

Trying not to go into a total meltdown over the impending visit of the photographer from Ideal Home magazine this week, I decided to have a little retail therapy and treat myself to some new bits for my home.

LSA International

I have a bit of an obsession with beautifully designed home wares. Just when I think I have the perfect combination of new and vintage items arranged around my home, I discover another piece of perfect white gorgeousness that just has to fit in somewhere.
The Leesa mattress for children
18 Sept 2016
We can often overlook the importance of a mattress when it comes to the quality of sleep for our children. A mattress should be like a well made pair of shoes.
Camerich contemporary furniture
12 Sept 2016
I am still on the lookout for that one unique piece of statement furniture to complete my living room. Its the one room left in the house that I feel has an unfinished look about it. Because of the layout of the room and my reluctant agreement to a large screen tv (I do live in a house with four men) there is a limit to how I can position furniture.

Thrifty bedroom makeover
22 Aug 2016
My bedroom has always been a bit of a dumping ground for laundry, stock and generally stuff that I just didn't want to look at. I have tried over recent years to regain some order, especially as I am often sent bedroom related items to review.
