My small garden makeover and how to create a relaxing outside space
The summer is here! Yippee! And what a start of the summer it is! But I’ll stop my excitement here as I don’t want to jinx it. I want the summer to last the whole summer! So I’ll move on to the subject that is inevitably linked to the summer – SMALL GARDENS! If you […]
Home lighting ideas and everything you should know about lighting
Good lighting is not something that we should only think about in winter months, when it’s cold and dark. Although the last week surprised us with more than a few rays of sunshine here in England, the truth is that “gloomy” is much more often used word than a “sunny”. And that’s even in the […]

The latest wallpaper trends for your home
If you’ve been following for a while you might have noticed that I absolutely love wallpapers. I’ve been using them as a “tool” for most of my projects around the house.

The Ideal Home Show and one photo I’m really excited about!

The latest trends and the best cushions for under £20
It’s no secret that I love cushions. I’m actually a great believer that there is no such a thing as “too many cushions in the house” (I’m sure Someone would disagree with me on that). In fact I’m almost sure that I own way more cushions than dresses (I don’t know what that says […]
How to become a styling pro – 5 steps to a perfect shelfie!
Ok, so let me start by saying that I absolutely love this new trend! And the fact that shelfies are replacing very well-known (and painfully often seen) selfies, makes me love it even more! Because (and I think you’re gonna agree with me on that) it is so much more pleasurable to look at the […]
