Working from home may have become the new normal, but not everyone has a spare room to devote to office work alone. Ingenuity has become the name of the game. Awkward and seldom used corners have now become invaluable spaces to plonk the laptop, take a zoom call, and tidy up a spreadsheet. Even better…
We’ve now been in the new house (actually old cottage) for three weeks now. There’s not a scrap of wallpaper anywhere. And while I initally thought I’d embrace the plain walls, I’m already looking at colour and pattern for inspiration. Shoot me now. Before the BF does. And where…

Even when we’re starting from scratch with our home renovations, it’s nice to mix in a few pre-loved things too. Whether it’s something you’ve had for years, a family hand-me-down, or something you picked up at the local flea market, a mix of old and new is what elevates…
It’s always nice to give a shout out to companies that produce beautiful bespoke kitchens. Especially ones that look as unique as those created by Wood Works Brighton. Based in the heart of Sussex (but available for commissions all over the UK), this company design, create and fit, kitchens…
