A Dog in the Life

A DOG IN THE LIFE Grief: to type this word means there has been an event that proposes to decide how I will feel, an event that changes my course and what happens and how it feels here in this little grey house. An early stage of this blog saw a golden retriever puppy arrive at my little house. She burst in with energy, exuberance, naughtiness and fun. A puppy wasn’t my idea, she simply and naturally became

Goodbye Carmo, Hello Hugo

GOODBYE CARMO, HELLO HUGO Well, I have finally said goodbye to Carmo! Carmo and I have enjoyed a relationship for seven years but are ready to part ways. Perhaps it is the seven-year itch, though I wouldn’t say we are not compatible anymore. The fact we have rehomed ourselves and Carmo is not so sympathetic to the vibe of this little grey house means the beginning of a new relationship. Carmo was very happy at my little black

Fit for a Queen

FIT FOR A QUEEN I am fairly pared back. Well, I say that, but my interiors do have a quirkiness—something you weren’t expecting. You may not like it or think it’s a little odd, but it pops up here and there and is what gives a home a uniqueness to the person or people who inhabit it. Take this little baby doll head; some think its a little ghoulish, I love it and went to great lengths to

Hanging by a String

HANGING BY A STRING This house little grey house is not large, but it is spacious, if that makes sense. Open plan living allows for these smaller homes to have the illusion of space even if it is all smoke and mirrors. I’ve also shared plenty about my need to anchor, to attach or float furniture as opposed to placing it. The String Shelving System is all about that! Designed in 1949 by a husband and wife duo

Lean on Me

LEAN ON ME And so two months in and I am settling in this, my Little Grey House. My last raving about storage is still a reality, the list hasn’t diminished, in fact it continues to grow. I spoke of my stuff and how nothing seemed to fit… well even my bar stools were lost in space with the lack of a ‘bar’ to house them. For the loss of anything else to do I lined them up

Sustainable Choices

SUSTAINABLE CHOICES I have to admit I have never bought into sustainable practices and for that I am now truely ashamed! It all started with a Sustainability Project in my workplace and I have to say this Internal Evaluation has been not only an eye-opener but a game-changer for me. Yes, there is still a roll of clingfilm in my kitchen drawer but its nearing the end-of-roll and end-of-life in my little house! Yes this does cause me

Everything has a home

EVERYTHING HAS A HOME Moving house is hard! It is said to be one of THE MOST stressful events in an average persons life. Hmmm, I am beginning to agree. As a child my family moved a lot; I can remember coming home from school and finding empty packing boxes in my bedroom, this would be my signal… we’re moving again. When I grew up, and had control over these life-changing events, I chose not to move too

I Heart Art

I HEART ART Lockdown meant we spent time staring at the same four walls wishing they were perhaps bigger, brighter, busier or quieter… I for one wished mine were a little more… interesting. Perhaps a structure to them to lift their flat and lifeless surface, give them strength and character. Of course I could paint them to give them colour, I could wallpaper them to give them pattern, I could even float some shelves to add texture but

TWENTY TWENTY TWO

TWENTY TWENTY TWO We had high hopes for 2022! The last few months of 2021 left us all exhausted, perhaps a little bit fearful and most definitely tired of counting down the days of isolation on our calendars. We welcomed 2022 with vigour; opening our doors in January to our family and friends, to the sunshine and to possibility but sadly the new Omicron variant of Corovirus crept in. We haven’t quite shut them, they remain a little

Light at the end of the tunnel

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL Well I don’t know about you but I’m getting a little tired of staring at the same four walls. During these Lockdowns it can feel a little like they are closing in on you no matter how bright and white they may be. Though there is limited supply of non-necessity items during these enforced stay at home mandates having moved from a big house in the country to a small house
