Insert sheepish "Hi" here. Those of you who have been following along for a while will know it's not unusual for me to disappear from time to time, though my latest absence of over 18 months really takes the cake! It wasn't planned. It probably wasn't expected. It...
Why, hello there! Remember me? Apparently I'm the person who's supposed to update this here blog on a semi-regular basis. Turns out I'm not that good at it. But I think we all knew that. I never planned to disappear for four months (and I'm sorry for my unexplained...
This post is sponsored by Fantastic Services. All images and opinions are my own. One of the inevitable tasks when preparing a house for sale is cleaning. And, I'm not gonna lie, it's definitely my least favourite! In fact, I was actually really dreading it for my...

If you caught my last suite extension update, you might recall reading that I was in wallpaper town trying to decided on something for the bathroom. As mentioned early on, my parents like simple classic interiors which can stand the test of time, so injecting a bit of...
Things are flying along at the suite extension at the moment! I think it's partly because we're just at that stage where things seem to go quickly, though also partly because the builder is keen to have everything done and dusted well before Christmas. In terms of...
When you're no longer willing to sacrifice twenty minutes of your life to the lawnmower-starting-gods, it's probably time for something new! No jokes, we've been using my grandpa's old 1950's mower for years now, and whilst it might be cool to have a mid-century...
