Read MoreStyling the Seasons – August
Hello all! Here’s my over optimistic contribution to the August Styling The Seasons posts. When I look at these shots they look so bright and Summery and then I just turn my head slightly to the window and see a whole different story unravelling outside. Enough moaning though as all the Saturdays in August so far…

Happy hump day! I’m bringing you an easy but effective DIY idea to fill some space on your wall. I do love myself some statement wall art and this only requires minimal supplies, so why not eh? Try hanging it with a cluster of other lovely wall prints or prop up on a shelf to add a pop! This…
Read Morestyling the seasons: July
I had hoped to get this styling the seasons post shot before I went away on holiday but that was beyond optimistic to put it mildly! Having said that it all worked out quite well as my holiday served as the inspiration for my styling this month. I made the most of the good light…

Well it’s about time I shared another DIY isn’t it?! I actually created this to fill a space on my own wall so I thought the obvious thing to do would be to share it as a DIY tutorial for all of you to join in with the fun. I wanted something minimal, with a…

watercolour cushion | diy speckled cushion | diy copper criss-cross cushion (below) You may well remember this post from last month. I had a little rant about our old, bulky, brown sofa and announced the wait for a much more stylish alternative from Habitat. Well, delivery day came and I literally jumped up and down in anticipation. I…
Read MoreCarpet cover up
I love our London flat in so many ways! It’s small but perfectly formed with high ceilings, white walls and abundance of natural light, but one thing I would really love to change are the carpets. Being in rented accommodation means this isn’t really an option unless we were happy to lose our entire deposit in one fell swoop.…
Read MoreSugar & Cloth: DIY hanging mirror
Here’s something to perk up your Monday. It’s my next DIY contribution for the fabulous Sugar & Cloth and I’ve gone and got crafty with a chopping board again. Remember I used a wooden chopping board to make this minimal clock? Well now I’ve taken it one step further and adapted a handled chopping board…
Read MoreStyling The Seasons – June
And finally my Styling The Seasons post is up for June! June is technically the first month of Summer and even though the British weather doesn’t always oblige it still makes me think of strawberry picking and enjoying maximum sun hours along with that end of exam feeling in my younger days. I’ve really enjoyed spending…
Read MoreHabitat Room Update
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 OK, let’s talk about my sofa. No joke, it’s been bothering me for quite a while now, in all it’s brown and bulky glory! Whenever I walk into the living room each morning it offends my…
Read Morelight up
I’ve never done a candle DIY before people! How did that happen eh? Well this little number is here to put that right and it all stemmed from a trip to Homebase where I discovered this crazy new spray paint which creates a stone effect. It may not actually be new but it was new…
Read Morestyling the seasons: May
10 days in and I’ve finally got around to May’s styling the seasons post. I actually put it off this month as I really wasn’t sure what to do. After having the pretty flowers from Bloom & Wild to style last time and then judging all the beautiful entries for April, I wasn’t sure where to…
Read Morestyling the seasons – April
I’m very excited about this month’s Styling The Seasons as it’s just a little bit special. Styling the Seasons is Katy and Charlotte’s monthly project to encourage each of us to take a little time to think about the new season and to style a space in your home inspired by what that month means to you. It’s…

Read Morestyling the seasons: March
Time for another styling the seasons post don’t you think? I can’t tell you how happy I am it’s March! It was so apt to wake up to bright sunshine pouring through the curtains on the 1st of March, a far cry from the day before. I wish I wasn’t so affected by light and…
Read MoreStyling the seasons – January
Hello and welcome back to reality! This is my first post of 2015 and I’m excited to get back into things even if waking up for my alarm this morning was even more painful than yesterday. I’m kicking of the new year and new month with my styling the seasons post. Let’s be honest, January…

photos from Apartment Therapy by Eleanor Busing Well here’s an exciting post to share! Our home tour has just been featured on Apartment Therapy! I can’t quite believe our humble little rented flat has made an appearance on this mega website. I love home tours so much because not only does it give you styling…
Read Moreplain to pattern
This pattern might look a bit familiar and you’d be right! I liked the dabbed paint affect from the DIY phone pouch so much that I thought it needed to make it’s way onto a cushion too. This kind of painting takes minimal skill and therefore minimal time. That’s the kind of DIY I’m sure we…
