Stay at home! But first – make it a place you really want to be in – home decorating on a budget.
How can I start if not with the obvious. What a crazy world we live in right now. We’ve all been advised to stay at home. And as much as I love my home and staying in it, it has suddenly become much harder for all sorts of reasons. On top of everything else staying […]
How to build a pallet board wall
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been planning, making and building an outdoor sofa out of wooden pallets. It is finished now (on the blog soon) but it made me realise that I have never posted about a different project that I did at the end of last year. (I guess life just happened) […]
Welcome guests (and spring) in style by giving your small hallway a quick refresh!
Yes! I did just use the word SPRING! Because believe it or not, now that January is over, the spring is on its way to us. It may have a funny way of announcing itself, but once February is out of the way, we will be nearly there. Well… almost! So, what’s a better way […]
My bedroom mini makeover + my Leesa mattress review
Couple of years ago our bedroom went through few changes. Starting with the floors and ending with a DIY upholstered headboard. I was happy with the room but there were few things that kept bothering me, like the white wall at the back of the room. Last year I decided to move my little office […]
Get your home ready for Autumn and create a cosy reading corner just for yourself (no kids allowed!)
The summer is nearly over! The kids have gone back to school, sunbathing on the beach of a tropical island is a distant memory and it feels like Autumn is just around the corner. The evenings have changed too. Now the new fresh autumnal breeze is a constant reminder that we’re heading towards the cooler […]
Bring a bit of elegance to your tea time with Denby and Burleigh
As someone who wasn’t born in England, I’ve always been a bit jealous of British’s famous five o’ clock tea time tradition. And although “tea time” has always been more of a “snack time”, in the past it was always accompanied by a cup of Ceylon tea. In the upper classes the tea would be […]
Bottom up blinds – the best solution for keeping privacy while letting the sun in
Are you fed up with passers by “accidentally” peeping through your window while you’re trying to relax on the sofa with your feet up? Not so relaxing, is it? Or when you’re dancing spontaneously in the kitchen while making a dinner? (that’s totally me!) Well, if you’ve been struggling to find the best solution to […]
Update your room with a new ceiling light + my giveaway with First Choice Lighting
Adding a new ceiling light is possibly one of the quickest way of updating the look of any room. And it doesn’t have to cost a fortune either. Sometimes swapping a simple lamp shade for something a little bit more exciting is all your room might need. In fact if your lamps are anything but […]
No more neutrals! How to add a colourful boho style to your living room this summer?
Bohemian style ( boho style or boho chic, as it is often referred as) has been popular for the past few years. And it seems that it is not going anywhere this summer. This relaxed and simple style is so easy to live with that people just don’t want to see it go. But this […]
How to create the perfect blue room? Your ultimate guide to using blue colour in interiors!
Few days ago I read somewhere that if you grow your confidence using blue, then you’ll have a colour scheme for every room! I looked around my blue room and realised that this couldn’t be more true. I was never very confident with colours, but somehow blue was always featuring in our house. Blue colour […]
