This post is in partnership with IKEA. They say that a change is as good as a holiday, so since 2020 has been devoid of leisurely adventure, a change it is. It doesn’t take much to convince me to revamp a room, so when IKEA got in touch and asked me to style up their […]

My bad. This meant that round two, had a rather restricted budget. I mean, really restricted. Having already blown a chunk […]
