Hello! Happy Friday! How has your week been? I ventured out to TK Maxx yesterday and I finally feel like I've made a sizeable dent in my own Christmas shopping. It was nice to be in an actual shop even if it was still a little bit strange. Back when I worked on a magazine, ...
Not a colour I probably would have given a second glance to if it were not Daisy's favourite hue but now it's all I see wherever I go and believe she is onto something - I've totally been influenced by a three year old! I'm not entirely sure where her love of it came from but ...
There’s nothing like a week of being trapped in with a poorly toddler to motivate you to moodboard! Staring at the same bare walls for the past few days has spurred me on to get project hallway well and truly underway now as the plaster is dry and it’s one of the last rooms to be done ...
I’ve not read my horoscope this week but I’m fairly certain it would have told me not to touch anything electrical and no doubt something about Mercury being retrograde – does anyone really know what that means? Anyway, I digress, my point being that had I read it I would not be sitting here sans ...
Now I'm prepared for the fact that the subject of this post is likely to have polarised opinions. Food-shaped tableware, I'm aware, is not for everyone - it's the ceramic equivalent of marmite and you'll either love it or loathe it.

This is not my first post about the many reasons why I love faux-liage but since then I now have twice as many faux plants in my house which has been entirely fuelled by their popularity on the high street. Whereas it was once far from ok to have fake flowers in your home, now ...
We are just hours away from the long Easter weekend - yay! I love a bank holiday weekend and especially Easter as it involves four days of eating chocolate, dressing up your child in all number of novelty clothing and no working. And it wouldn't be Easter without a bunny or two, (which I am ...
If you have been following my Insta-stories of late you will know that we have been living through a kitchen extension. Relatively speaking it has been a quick build (or so I am told by my husband and the builders) but that doesn't mean going without an oven, washing machine and sink has been fun, ...
You may well recall in a post I wrote a while back that I bought some palm leaf cushions for the living room and the matching curtains (read about it here) with a plan to get my Maria Von Trapp on and re-cover a tired second hand footstool we had. Well I finally did it ...
