I’ve got a bit of a procrastination problem when I’m working from home, I find it easier to concentrate during the evening rather than during the day for some reason! During the day I find myself doing non-work related things from my to do list instead of my work to-do-list! Thankfully due to the nature of my work I can do it in the evenings as it’s not strictly office hours, but I’d rather save…
Hygge is a Danish concept which roughly describes that warm and fuzzy feeling when you’re surrounded by good food and good company, and feeling comfortable. For me that would be a Sunday afternoon at home with my family, a box of biscuits close by, a warm cuppa, a lovely smelling candle and all of us piled onto the sofa, snuggling under blankets and watching a film or reading books together. I’ve put together a little…
At the end of the year we’ll have been in our home for nine months, which is really more than enough time to have started a few projects and ideally finished one or two! I wanted to record what we have done so far, and what we plan to do in the next year! Our overall aim is to spruce the place up with a view to sell it on for a profit in…
We’ve been in our home for over six months now, and haven’t done a great deal in the way of decorating. Partly because we can’t decide what to do and partly because we just don’t have the time, inclination or money to do anything major at the moment! However our living room is actually easy to add some personalisation and character to as it has picture rails so we can hang and change pictures around…
When we bought our home we decided to hold off on replacing the ugly brown carpets for a few years because we have two little kids, one who isn’t potty trained yet, and we all have a tendency to drop stuff. Much as I love the look of bouncy soft cream carpets realistically it would be a nightmare to keep clean and the kids wouldn’t be able to to do messy play, eat in the…
For families, kitchens really are the heart of the home. They’re a social space where parents can teach children healthy eating and ways to have fun with food; lessons for them to take into adulthood. However, this ideal image of a family kitchen does require work and planning to achieve and how you design your kitchen to be child-friendly isn’t always obvious. Based in Sussex and working with families in Brighton, kitchen designers PD Kitchens…
Our playroom is always a mess. I am aware that it won’t be the case forever because one day the kids will be able to tidy up after themselves… who am I kidding? My husband doesn’t even tidy up after himself! One can hope though, right? Anyway, because it is a bit of a mess all the time I am always thinking of ways to keep it neat and tidy. There are actually more…
The first place I moved to when I moved out of home was to a pub where I was working, a little bedsit style room with a tiddly kitchen and shower room. It was actually not that bad and great for getting up 10 minutes before you had to be at work! It didn’t last long though as my boyfriend at the time and I wanted to move to Brighton. We were so lucky that…
