Tiny Table Makeover Apologies for the delay in this week’s ‘Five Things’, the week seemed to run away from me and before I knew it, it was Thursday and I only had ‘Three Things’. Well, after my bout of flu, I felt that I needed a little project so took on a quick makeover of this […]

Five Things I Love This Week #5
I have a confession. Although I do genuinely love each ‘thing’ I’ve chosen to show you this week, they aren’t all genuinely from ‘this week’. It all started well, with a charity shop find and a brand new art work… then I got the flu. Not the ‘man flu’, but real flu. So, this week, […]
Five Things I Love This Week #4
Happy Friday folks! Well, it has been a busy week at No 69. With the extension seeing massive progress, it is finally beginning to feel like a part of the house. I’ve had a few jobs that I really should be doing but instead, chose to totally ignore these in favour of more enjoyable pursuits; […]
Five Things I Love This Week #3
If you want to make the weekend come around fast, start a regular Friday blog post. This week has disappeared in a blur but I’m back with another ‘Five Things I Love This Week’. The cover image isn’t part of the five, I just thought that those of you who aren’t on Instagram, won’t have […]
Kitchen Extension Update 2
The thing that has surprised me the most about having work-people in is how quickly things happen, when they happen. Admittedly, starting an extension in winter was not the best of plans, but when they can crack on, they REALLY crack on. So, for this extension update, expect BIG advances. When I last left you […]

Five Things I Love This Week
When I first started this blog, it was supposed to be a way of documenting my love of interior décor, my DIY adventures and things that inspire me. I’ve only ever really fulfilled part of my plan. As a creative, I find inspiration in everything. As an Art and Design Lecturer, it’s something that I […]
Kitchen Extension Update- Part 1.
We have progress! It’s been a wee while since the extension work started, and I had hoped to have an update before now… but there really hasn’t been too much to update. See my first post here. One of the downsides to starting an extension in winter is the weather. It’s not that it has […]
My Top 5 Christmas Decorating Tips, With CALA Homes
This post is in collaboration with CALA Homes. December is one of my favourite months of the year. I love the build up to Christmas and all of the trappings that come with it: the festive songs, the family movies, and the joy of hauling those badly-packed boxes of christmas decorations down from the attic. […]
Apothecary Drawer Advent Calendar DIY
Once again, the Christmas season is upon us and once again, I’m running late with my Christmas DIYs. Every year, without fault. I’m like a really rubbish Santa Claus. Luckily, this Advent calendar DIY doesn’t have to be just for December… this would make a brilliant gift for all year round and is so simple […]
