House to Home, In The Kitchen
Welcome to part two of my house tour! It’s taken me a while between the first one of my lounge to this one due to being so busy and have my cousin’s & Alice to visit. Finally I got around to it first thing this morning while Little Miss is at nursery and I have my mothers house to myself. So I’ve made myself a cup of tea, gave the cat some treats to stop her meowing at my feet and set myself up at the kitchen table. Who knows, I may even get a few post scheduled as well while i’m here. So my new kitchen, this is actually…

Home Content // How Safe Is Your House?*
Having just come back from holiday this week, I have to admit I was relieved to see my house still standing with everything in tact. Leaving your home for any length of time can be worrying especially if you feel you have left anything of value behind. Not only do Little Miss and I often go away on holiday, but as I’m currently in a long distance relationship I’m away at least once or twice a month at the weekend. I feel blessed to be living in a good area of town, it’s residential near good schools so there is always someone keeping an eye, but you still can never…

Changing your home is something we mostly do when we want to either add value or create more space. And focusing on the latter reason here, creating more space doesn’t have to be boring, and you certainly don’t have to use stale styles! That’s what we mean when we say fun here, – creative and a little ‘out there’, and not necessarily a bunch of DIY projects you won’t find a little tiring here and there! But it is fun to put ideas like these into practice, and to change the amount of space within your home with some cool uses of shelving, seating, and even the outside world. So…
