Well looky here, this is rather a girly post for you all this fine Tuesday. When I discovered metallic gold leather paint…well…it had me at ‘hello’ that’s all I can say. But what to make? I went digging around to find the leftover white leather from a previous DIY project and was all smiles to…

Fill Your Walls

You may have noticed a bit of a lull last week here on the blog. All I can say is it was definitely one of ‘those’ weeks. The kind where you wish you could blink and it was the weekend, except the weekend comes and it ain’t much better. Anyway I think I’ll forget last week…

Make your Hobby a Business with Etsy

You may have made all sorts of resolutions this January but perhaps there are some you haven’t made because you feel they’re too big, too crazy, too overwhelming and so it’s easiest not to set yourself up for disappointment.

The Lifestyle Edit: An interview

Funny story. It’s very rare for me to lack motivation and seriously consider climbing back into bed during the day. People question me all the time about that very thing as I work from home and I can honestly say it’s never really an issue. Today however I felt it big time. I really couldn’t be…

Styling the Seasons: January

Well we’re now in the full throws of January, back into routine and carting hot water bottles to bed feels less sparkly now the festive season is over.

Behind the Screen: What a Year!

I love the time between Christmas and New Year, where life is slow and without the ‘to do’ lists and usual routines, there’s space to ponder the year that’s just flown by. I think it’s so important to give thanks and at the same time take stock for the upcoming year. Me and my husband…

I’ve been following a paleo diet for nearly a month now for health reasons which has meant I’ve been broadening my repertoire of grain-free baking. These gingerbread biscuits only need 4 ingredients for the main mixture and are also dairy free, egg free…

Styling the Seasons: December

I feel like December has been 90% about Christmas styling, not that I’m complaining in the slightest. My Styling The Seasons post for December is light and bright with warm pops of colour and fresh sprigs of rosemary.

I love the cosiness of the whole run up to Christmas with its warm spiced beverages, twinkling lights and festive film watching in cuddly blankets. For me creating this cosy atmosphere starts with the christmas tree which instantly transforms a room even when it’s just a baby one like ours. We’ve actually always had a fake one…
