I’m so thrilled with this outdoor seating area! The space was originally taken up by a wooden playhouse for the children which never got used.

I love a bit of up-cyling! Three old scaffold boards and a scaffold pole was all that was needed to make the design. After a bit of sanding and oil stain the boards look fantastic and it’s created a really unique bar that will stand up to the changeable weather conditions. A really low budget project that sits perfectly in this garden!

It has provided a well needed space to entertain safely outside, to dine from, work from and just generally hang out !

Lockdown like many of us caused me to look at my home in more depth. All those little jobs and tweaks have been given the time they needed!

Simply painting the surround of my Edwardian stone fireplace has totally transformed the room! Once a dark, dated fireplace is now a stylish period feature.

I really love these miniature logs that I found online which look great stacked together in this way.

I am so pleased with the finished look and it wasn’t expensive at all. I used ‘Zinzer BIN primer sealer’ first and then the colour on top! You have to be careful with the primer and stir it well as it’s quite runny! I had to get it on fast and make sure it was brushed out as it goes off very quickly!

Arranging favourite frames and photographs can really provide a statement to a room or wall, especially when beautiful frames are placed together.

Having special memories, photographs, awards, quotes or childrens drawings displayed around your home gives a massive sense of warmth and love. Even just a favourite beautiful frame placed with other special objects can totally transform an empty space or corner. Frames are incredibly interesting and inviting and tell a story of your life.

I offer a personalised framing and display service. Together we can arrange those special memories to enhance the beauty of your home and style.

It really is these personal touches that make a house a home.

After finding these mini pallets in my garden, I painted them with an off white shabby chic style paint finish. They look stunning set against the old brickwork of my house. Fill with your favourite plants in different style pots for a country cottage look.

The perfect addition to any outside wall. Team it up with candles and fairy lights for the perfect ambience in the evening.
