We are in the midst of house buying, everything seems to take forever and it’s very frustrating as I just want to get in well before Christmas, unpack and then start sprucing it up! I’ve got so many projects in mind, some big ones like replastering the walls to get rid of the weird textured… Read More
Who doesn’t love a new duvet cover? There is nothing better than climbing into a freshly made bed with a brand spanking new duvet cover on it! Okay, maybe if it was ironed it would be even better but me and the iron do not get on very well and if I had any spare… Read More
I like a lot of light in a room, and hate to sit and watch a film in the dark. Sam however prefers to watch things in almost pitch black! Now the nights are getting darker earlier again (hurrah!) we’re fighting over whether we have the main light on or off! I’m already well… Read More

It’s been a while since we did much in our bedroom, but the arrival of Arlo meant re-jigging it a little to fit him in! Well, he would fit in quite nicely but all the paraphernalia he needs doesn’t! Plus a change of bedroom is always fun, I used to spend days in my school… Read More
Last Friday I was invited along to the launch of the new Stokke Home collection which was being unveiled to the world for the first time at The Baby Show. We were privileged enough to have the designer talking us through the concept from inception to the final products, and I defy anyone not to… Read More
