AD | dining table and bench kindly gifted by Heals  When we first looked around our rented house I was almost purely sold by the dining space. It’s so unusual to have such a substantial dining area attached to a kitchen like this when living in the centre of a city. I was excited to…

Seeing in Autumn with Bloom And Wild

The beginning of September marks the start of Autumn which usually sends me into a bit of a spin. I’m a creature that craves light and warmth in abundance so sometimes the transition can be a bit tricky for me…any one else? In the past it’s even made me quite down, grieving those long Summer days…

sleep tight little one

Obviously in doing up our nursery my head started rumbling with a million DIY projects I wanted to do. Sadly I had to reign in my long list and get realistic about how much time I had. One thing I knew I definitely wanted was to make a baby mobile to go above the cot and…

Babymoon

Well I’m well and truly into my third trimester and it feels like it too. It’s a little taster of what general body movement might feel like for me at 70 + years old and it turns out it’s hard work. Back in the transition between second and third trimester we booked to go away…

DIY Hallway Storage With Shurgard

As I said in my last DIY post, there isn’t a whole lot going on in our hallway and to be honest there hasn’t been since moving in. It’s a room that’s so often neglected so I’ve been trying to rectify that lately, making it practical but welcoming. I teamed up with Shurgard, experts in…

Just Hanging Out, Looking Stylish

I have a confession…this DIY was invented to resolve a very real bugbear I have at home that’s, been getting on my nerves ever since living with my Husband. I love him very much and he’s actually very neat and tidy for a boy but we both have certain blind spots around the home (I…

I’m on a bit of a DIY roll of late and finally lots of those ideas that have been sat on the proverbial shelf, gathering dust have made it out to see the light of day! You may not believe me but I could probably dream up plant holder projects and nothing else for the rest…

Creating A Baby Nook with Cult Furniture

Many of you may already know that we have a baby girl on the way and so we’re finally starting to think about how we might have to re-arrange our current guest bedroom for her arrival. We were definitely in denial for the first half of the pregnancy but now time seems to be running…

Grand Designs: Green Heroes

Last week I had the chance to go to Grand Designs Live and hear from Kevin McCloud himself, along with his panel of experts over breakfast. After gushing slightly that Kevin was only metres away we got down to hearing more about the pursuit of eco-conscious design for the home. It was really interesting to…

Bringing our home to life with Sonos

Do you have a silent home? I don’t think I noticed quite how important it was to fill the space with music until we didn’t really have a means to do so. Nick essentially studied sound in his Music Studio Tech degree so with him came a quite decent set of speakers but they getting old…

Be Our Guest…

I’ve been gradually revealing our new flat to you guys as we’ve conquered each room one by one. The last room to the party is our guest bedroom which is still a huge novelty. We’ve never had a guest room since being married, always living in one bed flats. This meant we couldn’t really offer…
