Relaxed Modern Bedroom Makeover Part 1
Remember I said I had some exciting news? Well here it is! I have stepped outside the comfort zone of Number 69, and into the GORGEOUS home of Graham and Hazel. Through the wonders of social media (and a lovely friend in common), Hazel got in touch looking for help with their master bedroom. Now, […]
Bargain Store Interior Accessories (From Unexpected Sources!)
As both an Interiors obsessive and a total tightwad, I’m always on the lookout for new sources of stylish yet affordable homeware goods. I don’t often buy new, as I prefer vintage and love owning objects that I know have had a ‘previous life’ somewhere else. I also prefer the quality of older pieces, that […]

DIY Vase Makeover; Mid-Century Glaze Style.
Following on from my exciting award nomination announcement (here), I’d like to share a wee project that I’ve been thinking about for a while; A DIY vase makeover. I bought these vases a few years ago, with a plan to simply spray painting them to match my decor. I bought them because I loved the […]
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 […]

Colour inspiration; Grey. All the greys.
Happy Friday everyone! I was hoping to share the bedroom reveal this week, but sadly, it is not to be. Although it is 99.99% finished, there are still some finishing touches that I want to add (that’ll be this weekend’s plan!) before I photograph it. Also, I’m testing out a new camera, because up until now I’ve […]
The Bedroom makeover plan. Version 2.0
With new a new plan, comes…new plans. The big wardrobe makeover/DIY had begun and thoughts started turning to colour. Do I want them to blend in? Stand out? Contrast?? This time there needed to be a firm plan. Was I fuck going to be painting them only to regret my choices. I mean, this would […]
Magazine table makeover
I bought this wee magazine table from a reclamation yard a few years back for the tiny sum of three whole pounds. Now, it was lying out back in the yard, overgrown with grass and had to literally be pulled from the undergrowth, so, I felt slightly robbed having to pay anything. Anyway, I had […]
