We’ve been in our London flat for about 6 weeks now. If you (me) end up moving into a rented place that needs a bit of love, you (I) feel the need to get everything done as soon as humanly possible. It’s a very different feeling to buying a house and swanning about for 6 months before you pick up a paint brush, because you know your time might be limited to your contract. What […]
I’m easing myself v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y back into the world of blogging. I don’t think I can quite talk about our leaking shower (ripping all the tiles off the walls, replacing the walls, putting the tiles back and it NOT being covered by the insurance…anyone?) although I will do I promise. We’ve also painted our bedroom other such delights, but they all seem like big scary posts, so instead I’ll let you know this: We bought […]
I posted ages ago about painting our living room. We did the whole thing in Swansdown (Dulux Trade paint) and one wall, the one with the fireplace, in Dove (also Dulux Trade). Obviously this is a shit, pixelated photo (when isn’t it on here?) but you can see the colour so we are all going to have to just deal with it. At first I quite liked it. I’m talking for a few hours, mainly […]
This weekend we were total decorating rebels. Not only did we go to B&Q on a Friday night (yo) but we picked out our paint there and then without trying any tester pots. Bad practice, but we decided to live on the edge a bit. We wanted to paint the spare room on Saturday and had had no time all week to get any paint testers so we just decided to run with it and […]
Dare I dream that we will have a sofa soon?
It’s been a bit quiet on the home front this week. Mainly because I’ve FINALLY got myself a new iPhone and have therefore dropped everything to play on it 24 hours a day. Who needs a house when you have a new phone. I downloaded this fun 360 degree app which patches together your pictures. This was my first attempt of the living room and dining room (you have to click on it): And here’s […]
Chairs are here! I’m in love with them in a weird and creepy way! Not only do they look amazing, but they are really comfy too! They arrived in two parts, but we just had to screw the legs on to the seat which took no time at all! They feel really sturdy, although I keep telling Ben to sit down on them softly because I’m scared he will hurt them. We went for the […]
I did a little make over on a stool this weekend. I really enjoyed it and feel like I am a real blogger now because I can offer a before and after! Hooray for me. Anyway, I found this stool at my local Salvation Army charity shop. It had some dubious stains which the man in the shop assured me I could just scrub out. Y’alright love. I also have to admit that even though […]
I mentioned a while back that I’d ordered a Componobili replica from bluesuntree.co.uk for some bathroom storage. Well it arrived last week and I love it! It fits the awkward space between the sink and the bath perfectly and stores everything we need! The original owners of the house had renovated the bathroom about a year before we bought it so not much really needs doing urgently aside from the massive crack in the tiles on the floor. It’s like […]
Just bought four of these babies in Sky Blue for the dining room table. What was the rubbish I was talking about ‘waiting and making sure they were what we want’? Christ I’m impatient. We were always going to come back to them though, I know it (ahem). £207 for four chairs including delivery. Not exactly cheap but I’ve always loved the original Eames chair so it’s a bit of love struck madness. In other news my […]
