Although this is my blog, it’s not really about me.

It’s about interior decorating (awesome!) which means there’s usually not a whole heap of personal stuff going on.

I know that for most of my visitors this is totally fine though I’m also aware there are some readers who like to know a bit more about the actual person behind the virtual voice.

So if, like me, you are inherently curious, here’s a long, unashamedly self-indulgent and completely unnecessary list of stuff you probably don’t care to know about me.
