    A controversial topic I know, but I think dark walls can get a pretty bad reputation when it comes to small spaces. Shrinking the room! Sucking the light away! Are these presumptions actually justified? I thought I would give dark colours a chance and show you how they can turn the smallest room into the…

    A while back I showed you my inspiration for our home office. I was aiming to share with you the reveal a few weeks later but we had major delivery delays with our new desk. The reality of decorating a house! The process was long, I finished painting the walls in 2016 it then was…

    Brass, copper, nickel – some may call them fads, some may think they are here to stay. No matter what, metals have been invading our houses big time for the past 4 years.

    Andrew and I are not born DIYers, far from it. I can paint walls, he can drill holes in them, but that is pretty much it. With our house, most of the work we have done so far has been pretty easy. Being a new build everything has been purely cosmetic and decorative. Until this…

    When going through the process of planning and decorating a space I usually keep the following four aspects in mind: the flow of the room, the proportion of the furniture in the space, the alignment of the decorative items and the aesthetic – what colours, textures, etc. I would divide the process of styling a space as…

    After one year and nine months, I can finally reveal our TV wall. One would think that a TV area is pretty easy to set up – TV? Check! TV stand? Check! Enough plugs for all the cables? Done! As I mentioned in my TV wall inspiration post, I didn’t want this area of our…

    This scene took place sometime in 2016… Andrew – “We need a new TV!” Claire – “Why? This one works perfectly well!” Andrew – “Yes but I want a bigger one and there is that new OLED technology which…” I stopped listening at that point. When you are married you have to pick and choose…

    Something different on the blog today, as I have never shared that type of content with you but I thought that some of you may find it useful! On the 28th of May 2016, Andrew and I got married. It was the loveliest day full of laughter, dancing, hugging, kissing, eating and drinking. I briefly…
