Stair And Hallway; Inspiration And Planning The Upstairs Landing.
Helllooooo!! After a three week break, I’m back and ready to get back on it! Whilst I’ve been away, I haven’t been sitting idle (apart from a week in Spain, where I was VERY lazy). Typically, holiday time (when I should really have more time to blog), has ended up being busier than the working […]
Stair And Hallway Planning; Inspiration To (Almost) Realisation.

She has the […]

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 […]
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 […]
