Styling the Seasons: October
Well here it is. My first attempt at the #styling the seasons challenge! I wrote about this concept in last week’s Friday links and spent some time last weekend thinking about where and how to style a space in our home. I decided upon the kitchen as we have recently been painting in there and…

Sunday night feeling
Good evening, how are you? I hope your weekend has been happy and restful. We had some friends over for dinner last night but our cooker broke on Friday so we were down to one electric ring to cook for them on! Oh well, it actually turned out to be quite funny so no harm…

Friday links

Back to school!
September is upon us and the new school term has started (if the children in your life are back yet that is!) As I work in Higher Education myself, this week has started with a bang as we welcome our new cohort of trainee teachers to our degree programmes. It’s probably no surprise then for…

Kitchen inspiration
As I mentioned in a previous post, we are currently painting our kitchen and giving it a bit of a makeover. Before I share a ‘before and after’ tour, I wanted to show you some of the inspirations behind my design choices. We are happy with the exisiting cabinets and white goods in our kitchen…
