Garden workspace, featuring Tent Ltd

January 11, 2017

As I look out of the window from my work desk in the kitchen, I long for a workspace in the garden.

January 11, 2017

They say first impressions count, so I wanted to bring an element of fun to the first impression for any of my house guests. Even though there are so many out there to buy, I had trouble finding a door mat that I liked so thought I’d have a go at making my own with … More Painted door mat how-to

Duck Tape Skeleton DIY

October 7, 2016

For those of you who know me, you’ll know I’m not the biggest fan of fancy dress. The mere mention of it sends me into a panic and I usually end up ‘washing my hair’. For the past two years however I’ve had to embrace it for the sake of the kids. Two years ago I was helping … More Duck Tape Skeleton DIY

Candles the old fashioned way. 

September 14, 2016

On a recent holiday to the North Yorkshire Dales we stumbled upon the White Rose Candles shop.  It was actually on the list of things to do near Leyburn but to be honest it wasn’t top of our list. Don’t get me wrong I do like a nice candle but it wasn’t on my son’s … More Candles the old fashioned way.

Thrifty tips for First-time Buyers

August 8, 2016

With interest rates at a new low, it’s a great time to get on the property ladder. There are some fantastic deals to be had for first-time buyers that don’t require a huge deposit. The higher the deposit you have saved up, the lower the interest rate will be so it pays to put as … More Thrifty tips for First-time Buyers

Breakfast Kitchen becomes Office Space…

Originally posted on My Terrace: My Castle:
Before (right) and After (left). Breakfasting kitchens became popular in the UK in larger houses, often for the house staff to prepare food.  When we bought our terrace it had a dining room next to a ‘breakfast room’ that led onto a small kitchen. The breakfast kitchen had…

Colours don’t clash in nature 

July 17, 2016

It seems like there are so many rules about colour, especially in fashion and interiors. Who decided that blue and green should never be seen? Or that you can’t put red with green and purple?  Colour inspiration is everywhere with nature being the most inspiring for me. Nothing clashes in nature.
