This post contains a paid advertising promotion for Very. While the transition from Winter to Spring seemed long and rather wet, I’m happy to say that late Spring has come up trumps with dry, sunny weather and temps in the late teens and low 20s for the last couple of weeks. And that sort of […]| Swoon Worthy
Our homes, by their very nature, are meant to promote our comfort. A place to return to after a long day, a sanctuary where we can kick off our shoes and truly be ourselves. And while that concept of home may be true for us if we’re lucky, the reality is that it’s sometimes hard […]| Swoon Worthy
The following post contains a paid advertising feature for Very. I have a confession to make! For the last two years when December rolled around, I haven’t felt particularly Christmass-y. I didn’t really fancy going all out with decorating and so I essentially put up a tree and that was the extent of it. I […]| Swoon Worthy
I know, it’s been quite some time since my last post but I figured this was a makeover I was too damn pleased about not to stick on here along with a bit more explanation and images than what I can share over on Instagram. And well, if your summer plans include updating the front […]| Swoon Worthy
The following post contains a paid advertisement for eBay UK. There are times I am reminded just how long I’ve been using eBay as one of my go-to sources for just about everything I could possibly need. I joined the site in March 2001 – and no, that’s not a typo! For more than 20 […]| Swoon Worthy
If you’ve followed my blog for a few years, you’ll know that one of the biggest renovation projects we tackled was our kitchen. Ripping out the entire back of our house, adding a small extension, moving one wall and entirely removing another, adding a large skylight and essentially creating a kitchen where there had only […]| Swoon Worthy
This post contains a paid advertising feature by Dulux UK. If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to add some interest to your walls with colour blocking, my post today will share exactly how I created this bold eye-catching feature wall in my bedroom. Thanks to Dulux’s Simply Refresh Range, I was able […]| Swoon Worthy
I thought I’d pop on and share a little update I’ve been working on over the last few weeks as I’ve managed to give the deck a bit of a new look for this summer in our back garden. This little area has changed a few times since we’ve lived here but when we first […]| Swoon Worthy
The following contains an advertising feature for Very who have kindly sponsored this post. Well, it’s finally happened. I have been waiting for years now (3 1/2 to be exact) to update my living room with the Samsung Frame TV before I felt like it was really complete and let me just start by saying, […]| Swoon Worthy
Back in February, I dreamt I’d moved into an old dilapidated apartment (or maybe it was a house, I’m not sure) but the kitchen had all this orange pine panelling and strange sliding cupboard doors. It was old and out of date and quite frankly, pretty ugly but in the dream, I had plans. I […]| Swoon Worthy
Emboldened by our attempts at making our own raised planter a couple of months ago, I knew we’d be able to tackle something a little bit more complicated – a pair of standing raised planters to sit in front of the kitchen window. If you recall, we’ve been working on the back of the house […]| Swoon Worthy
