Something I’ve been SO excited to put together, is my dressing room! Who wouldn’t?! And I decided to go with the Ikea PAX system. If you’re not familiar with this, it is a modular system, with lots of different internal options, and can be designed to suit your requirements. It can be a lot ofContinue reading “Ikea hack!

House update!!
Well, we are getting there with the kitchen and flooring. But for the last couple of months, our focus has been on the ensuites, hence the lack of updates!

Week 85 – Tiling DIY! Plus more decision making…
More DIY-ING this week, and this time in the form of tiling! But first, some more decisions with regards to the stairs and, more importantly, the detailing! Having decided to go with a black metal balustrade, we were still a little up in the air as to how it should be fixed to the stairs.Continue reading “Week 85 – Tiling DIY! Plus more decision making…”
Week 84 – More underfloor..this time upstairs!
A busy week for us with underfloor installation and touch-up paint jobs! It looks so much tidier now that the overlay panels are down!!

All in it took aboutContinue reading “Week 84 – More underfloor..this time upstairs!”
Week 77..we have a floor!!
Another week and the first of the flooring has been laid, in the soon to be tiki bar! We decided to measure from the centre of the house, as the same floor will run through the whole of the ground floor.

Plaster up down lights…
I love these lights, the Astro Kymi 300 Indoor Wall Light in Plaster. They look so sleek and it’s great that they can be painted to suit your wall colour! And in our case, we’ll be having two on this wall… And, after a couple of coats of the same paint (Charlotte’s Locks Farrow andContinue reading “Plaster up down lights…”
Week 72 – The paint spraying has begun..plus staining wood and another light!
It is so strange to be at a stage where it is down to us and the progress is actually ours to control…mu ha ha! And it is quite simply, based on how proactive or lazy we are feeling on any given week ha! And so this week Andy’s been sanding more of the unfinishedContinue reading “Week 72 – The paint spraying has begun..plus staining wood and another light!”
Kitchen decisions..
So! We have changed our minds numerous times when it comes to the kitchen and the utility..if you have seen our Instagram over the past year you will see the odd “decision made” post ha! From Wren to Howdens to diy kitchens…we couldn’t quite decide on something that was “us”. We began with copper, handlelessContinue reading “Kitchen decisions..”
