Make Your Rented House a Home

If you’ve read my blog for a while you probably know that me and my husband are not home owners, shock horror! I used to believe the lie society likes to tell that you have to own a home before you even consider settling down. I found it very refreshing to move from suburbia to London and no longer feel…

Workspace Goals

I’ve noticed that recently a lot of my DIY projects seem to be veering towards organisation. Perhaps it’s an conscious attempt to stop things spiralling into chaos or perhaps I’m developing more of an appreciation for things being ordered.  I have one of those ‘odd and ends’ shops near me. The kind that sells everything…

A Velvet Love Affair in London

I love where I live in Shepherd’s Bush but I have to say the area’s annoyingly slow on the uptake when it comes to cool and quirky cafes and eateries. Conveniently we live up the top end, bordering Chiswick which opens up an extensive array of options. If there’s somewhere new and exciting it’s nearly…

Styling The Seasons: April

April has gone by in a flash but just in the nick of time, I’ve managed to style a corner of my home for Styling The Seasons. I’ve been pretty disappointed to find myself still wearing a scarf and fur coat at the end of April, not to mention the brief snow interludes?! While I…

Dreamy Nights With Leesa

Whoever you are, wherever you are, sleep is a massive deal to all of us! Without enough of it our health can be affected along with our whole mood and without it altogether we’d actually die! I think we can safely say it’s important and I’ve been mulling on this even more in the last…

A Kitchen Crafts

For me the kitchen is a forgotten room when it comes to DIY projects. I don’t usually dream up ideas for that space for some reason. In fact the only other one I can think of was my brush lettered storage jars. Let’s right that wrong shall we?

Picking perfect sofa for small spaces

The guys at Argos recently got in touch to see if I would share my top tips for choosing and styling a sofa and with updating our own sofas in the last year I have a little bit to say on the matter.  Our home is totally open plan, bar a door for the bedroom…

A little London Staycation

Last week I took some much needed time off with my Husband. I thought the long weekend made taking the rest of the week off perfectly sensible but then comes the cons of working from home. Taking time off in what’s essentially your office makes it really hard to switch off and it’s a big…

West Elm Pop Up Shop

I don’t often give you much of window into the design side of my business in this space. Part of me thinks you probably aren’t that interested but perhaps that’s not true because I have quite the opposite attitude when I’m reading other people’s blog. I guess that’s how we can hold on to the…

Sugar & Cloth: DIY Desk Organiser

I hope you’re all enjoying your Bank Holiday Monday. If you’re back to work tomorrow you may be thinking about ways to get organised and embrace Spring cleaning. My theory is that a tidy desk makes for a clear and focused mind. I realise some people work really well in a creative mess but I’m…

Styling The Seasons: March

March is very nearly over but I’ve still managed to get in this month’s Styling The Seasons post. I actually shot this about 2 weeks ago but my heads been all over the place this month with work. Let’s just say it’s felt busy, but that’s how I feel most of the time so what’s…

Say ‘Hello’ To My New Site

Well, my new website is finally here, after so many months of back and forth and pestering my web designer husband to keep cracking on in any spare minute he had. Building a new website is like being led down a rabbit warren. Changing one thing means you realise you need to change something else which…

Easy Grain Free Banana Bread

You may have picked up that I’ve undertaken some serious diet changes over the last three months, following years of digestive struggles and a particularly poorly year and a half. Whilst realising that gluten seemed to be my big issue I also knew that I didn’t just want to cut it out without thinking about how I…

Nearly Neutral

Studio Twocan’s Cement CeramicsChan & Eayrs London home Here’s a little slice of Sunday calm for you all. I’ve become increasingly doe eyed over the neutrals interior movement, craving a break from a harsher monochrome vibe to tones that are softer around the edges. I look at these images and instantly feel serene, conjuring up…

DIY Botanical Adventures

Let’s liven up Monday with a DIY for your home shall we? If you read my blog regularly you may remember I did a post on the botanical trend back in Autumn. I had been out foraging for greenery which is less unusual than I’d like to admit and found some fern leaves. I took…

Styling the Seasons: February

Happy Valentine’s Day! Nick and I actually moved our celebrations to Friday evening with a busy weekend ahead. I know it’s all commercial blah blah blah but I quite like the excuse to do something and make cards for one another. I decided it was a while since I’d made a three course meal for…
