LEWIS AND LOU Sometimes you just need a little change. This coffee table was an expensive purchase many years back. It is large, solid and has 3 drawers that pull though either side. Though it is a little battered it is unique and it is the perfect coffee table for our living room. The wood makes a nice addition to the otherwise monochrome palette, I can hide the ugly clutter inside the drawers and its large enough to display lots of Living Room

The icing on the cake
Lucky for me, my office is located just above a kitchen company which means I am privy to all the insider info, it also meant I was lucky enough to sneak in a quick refresh for my kitchen right at their busiest time – just before Christmas. While most companies will encourage you to replace your whole kitchen others will give you good advice on a revamp or refresh keeping the costs down while still improving value and functionality, so
New Year New Look

My little house. Does this make it an eclectic space? In a way yes; bringing different theories together to compliment each
Mezzanine Makeover
Our mezzanine is a small space in the centre of our second floor, it over looks our living area and is flanked by two bedrooms along with a small bathroom. It is currently filled with some unwanted and unloved furniture; but with its all day sun it is honestly one of my most favourite spots in the house, and not just mine; Westie the cat rarely moves from the general vicinity. So, time for a little attention; the TGV ceiling has been
Love this Look
A lot of what I get asked for help with is creating something eye-tingling beautiful on a budget. And yes it is achievable – but you need to know where to start.

Now its no easy task and not for the DIYers in you either, I mean we are talking some heavy duty sanding, priming and filling. We didn’t want to see the knots and imperfections so we called in
Coffee table LOVE
COFFEE TABLE LOVE I love a flat empty surface, it gets my fingers itching to add some beautiful items and with so many requests to help with ideas for coffee table styling I thought it was time I shared a few secrets with you… Lets start with the table itself; now Ive had quite a few coffee tables in my time but I have to say I think Ive found my all time favourite… why? Because its so simple, so
Pillow Talk
PILLOW TALK If you know me you will likely know there are 3 things I cannot resist easily; puppies, chairs and cushions. I have a problem with saying no to all three; puppies, however are generally not really something one can have too many off and nor, as I have learnt, do they stay puppies for all that long; chairs are something that one can actually have too many of and in fact I am bordering on this calamity
