This living room makeover post is in partnership with the official Revamp Restyle Reveal sponsors as listed below. Thank you to the lovely Tamsyn for handing over to me on the RRR3 blog-hop. Such a beautiful transformation of her attic space. Last year, I was very lucky to be invited to take part in season […]

Replacement Slipcovers; Comfort Works Sofa Cover Review
This post is an honest and personal review of a replacement IKEA sofa cover for a Nockeby 2 seater sofa, very kindly sponsored by Comfort Works. I will only ever do these posts if it’s a product that I really think deserves your time. I think this one really does. Brian and I have this […]
Celebrating and Moving Forward in 2018
Follow my blog with Bloglovin 2017; A Busy, Brilliant Year 2018. It’s mid-January and I still can’t get used to writing that. Happy January to everyone! (because it’s way too late to say Happy New Year!) I’ve had a bit longer away from the old computer than I had planned, but it’s given me a […]
Living Room Reveal Part 2… Finally!
First Up, Soz For The Delay This post feels like it has been a long time coming. Probably because it has. Yes, after weeks of me saying ‘next week’ the Living room reveal has arrived. I hope you think it was worth the wait! Eek! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you […]
Living Room Reveal Part 1… What took you so long?
The Living Room Reveal Took So Long ‘Cos… To start with, it was the ceiling. After painting the bedroom ceiling dark (here), and loving it, Brian suggested doing the living room one too. I didn’t need too much convincing, since I’m a huge fan of the Abigail Ahern style of painting everything out in one […]
Ikea Billy Bookcase Built-In Hack
Planning. The finishing touches have just been added to our custom shelving unit and it’s been styled to within an inch of it’s life. Fancying seeing how you can pimp up a cheapo set of bookshelves, into a thing of style and substance? Then prepare yourself for the Billy Bookcase Built-In Bonanza! If you haven’t already […]
My DIY (did it myself) 5-arm ceiling light.
Before the big living room reveal I thought I would share a few process shots and posts of how I got to the end result. Of course, it’s also because I like a big dramatic build up to these things, but it kinda makes sense to show some elements first, like the fireplace makeover here. So, […]
Living Room Planning Part Two; Multiple Focal Points
Bravery. A definite requirement when designing a room that is slightly out-with your comfort zone. As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been used to decorating on a slightly smaller scale, in properties that didn’t really need to be grand in any way. Number 69, is a different kind of girl though. She has the […]
Living room planning; Part One.
Planning the living room kinda started from the moment I saw it. Photobombed by an estate agent. My bestie Jen, hungover and struggling to cope with my excitement. The height, the bay window, the architectural detail, the streaming sunlight, all provided so many exciting possibilities for someone who was used to living in small apartments with very little […]
Before the bedroom reveal… Fireplace makeover.
So, my whole ‘thing’ was “renovating my Victorian terrace, one room at a time”. Yeah, there was no way that was going to happen. I’m far too impatient for that. Whilst decorating the bedroom and generally prettifying it, I was simultaneously destroying the sittingroom. The fireplace, to be precise. Bring on the second fireplace makeover. It […]
