My eight-week renovation of our Downstairs Loo is complete and I can't wait to show you the ...
Six weeks of planning, scrubbing, painting, sewing, and accessorising have come to fruition and it's time to reveal my "new" craft room! I consider it a luxury to have a whole room dedicated to these passions, but I definitely hadn't been making the most of the space until now. With the addition of ...
Happy solstice! Today may be the shortest day of the year, but inside is merry and bright. It's time for my annual house tour of festive decor, and this year I've chosen a very pared-back rustic scheme of whites, silvers, and ...
The One Room Challenge is always precisely that: a challenge. Having decorated our guest ensuite and sun lounge through the ORC, I already knew what it would take. It's relentless. But despite how tough it is, the reason hundreds of us keep coming back is because it's always worth it in the ...
