Nice desk

October 4, 2022

Time to share some Nice desks…

There is nothing quite like your personal workspace. Your corner or space that has everything you need to get your stuff done. If you’re anything like me then you’re quite particular about your desk, what’s on it and where it sits in a room.

Curtain love

August 1, 2022

Today I’m going to chat about curtains, or as I like to call them, a window’s Sunday Best. I love me a good curtain, they add such an awesome and simple design element to a space and they’re also such a nice and fun way to spruce up a room without having to break the bank… Especially if you look in the right place 😉

STUDY MAKEOVER

April 7, 2021

Over the last while, Shane and I have been transforming our newly acquired upstairs area into a second living room, as well as a new office. So I thought I’d show you guys our study makeover and give you a couple of tips on how you can makeover a room in no time at all.

Before we started on this new space it was literally a giant, old dusty storeroom above us, whose only inhabitants were about 32 odd pigeons. No one had used the room in years and so we thought, why not give it a major dust off and turn it into a bright happy space that we can enjoy.

Toddler room makeover

January 25, 2019

Toddler-room-makeover-2

For the first year and a bit of Rex’s life, he slept in a camp cot in our room. We live in a three bedroomed flat so when we decided that it was time to move him into his own space he landed up in the guest bedroom and because he was now old enough to try and escape his camp cot every time we put him in it, my anxiety levels were reaching all new levels of high, which meant it was time to get him a big boy bed.

Skinny la Minx

This next post of mine is quite a fun one because it’s all about how to give a space in your house a quick makeover just by adding a few key pieces to the room, and refreshing it in a way that will not only make it feel cosier but more considered too. I will also be giving away TWO sets of 3 x Skinny la Minx designer cushions (six cushions in total) to one lucky winner and a friend. Details on how to enter at the end of this post!

Now there are a lot of ways to do this that can and will cost you loads of cash, which will make your room nice and happy but your face really sad! There are however some quick, not-so-pricey ways to add to a little something to a space that will instantly change it up. I’m going to start by introducing you to a fantastic local label (which I’m sure many of you are familiar with already) called Skinny la Minx and their very cool and brand spanking new Pillow Lab and range of Colour Pop Pillows.

The Storer

May 2, 2018

Seeing as it Mother’s Day soon I thought that I would make the month of May ‘Mother’s Month’ so I’m giving away something every week until the end of it, starting with an amazing prize from an even more amazing store! Keep reading to see where I’m going with this…

One of my favourite things ever is walking into a shop and being surrounded by things that make my heart backflip a little, do you know what I mean when I say that?

I’m an absolute sucker for beautiful interior goods and when they have been displayed in a space that makes you want to move in and make it your home, then I know that my credit card and I are in some serious trouble! Guys, I’m not going to lie the second I stepped into the store I’m going to tell you about I had to take a deep breath because there was so much to see and want! It made me so happy and a little sad because I knew that it wasn’t possible to have one of everything.

Situated in the ever charming 44 Stanley is a shop called The Storer, owned, filled and run by one Mrs Lisa Storer whose passion lies in searching for unique and expertly crafted pieces from around the world. Also, a dream job if you ask me! The items she sources are rare and beautiful and she likes nothing more than to share the history of their communities with people who appreciate such exceptional
craftsmanship. In other words, you can walk into her shop, ask her about any piece and she will be able to tell you about it, which is so awesome because it makes you feel like you’re buying something really special rather than just yet another mass produced item created in a factory.
