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 […]
Tag: before and after
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, […]
Front Door Makeover.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Whilst I had been busy renovating the interior of Number 69, the outside had been looking rather… sad. With the lovely weather we’d been having during April, and with me being on a fortnights holiday, I decided to take a break from the living room and enjoy some of the […]
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 […]
Hack! Ikea Pax wardrobe and DIY West Elm bedside tables
As you all know by now, the bedroom makeover came about because I really screwed up with the first attempt. A lack of planning left me with a half-arsed room that was neither finished nor pretty. My bad. This meant that round two, had a rather restricted budget. I mean, really restricted. Having already blown a chunk […]
Bedroom makeover reveal. It’s actually done!
Finally. The room that was supposed to be my first place of sanctuary in the chaos of my renovation adventure, is finished! The bedroom makeover has happened and only about 2 years too late. Not too bad… …AND I LOVE IT!! Before we get in to the good stuff, lets take a look back at […]
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 […]

Bedroom plan reveal
So, it’s not a finished room yet, however, it is a firm plan! Sometimes when we decorate, we don’t have a totally clear vision, let alone plan, of where we want to end up…and that’s fine! As long as you’re totally convinced of your starting point, whether it’s a paint colour, flooring, furnishings or even just […]
