Win a £210 Kauffmann Winter Special Down Single Duvet? Yes please #WinterISComing
It’s October now. HOW did that happen quite so fast? I swear, I just nipped down to make a pot of coffee, and when I came back to the office a whole month had slipped past. So when DownDuvet got in touch and asked if you might be keen to win a Kauffmann Winter Special duvet, I might have jumped up so hard I hit my head on the ceiling (Ow.) Because Winter IS Coming (thanks Jon – see, you DO know something), and there is...
Bedroom Makeover – looking for furniture
So we’ve settled on a bed, on carpets, wall colour… but the wardrobes. Oh lordy, the decisions that involve the wardrobes. The trouble is, our bedroom isn’t very big. Once you add a decent-sized bed in there (after twenty years, I think we earned the right to upgrade from a 4’6″ to a 5′, right?), there really isn’t all that much room left. Right now, we have the sliding-mirrored-door wardrobes...
The Potato Stamp Stars Bedding. *LOVE* – Review
I think we’re all a sucker for some good bedding, right? No matter how perfect the design, it’s only when you slide into it with an “Oooohhh!” of happy that you know you got the choosing right, and you and this bedding are going to be besties for a long time. And this spectacularly amazing Potato Stamp bedding from Fox Organic is just about as happy as you get. The design is awesome – love love LOVE the...
Now this is genius – free kids wall sticker decals!
We’re already huge fans of Room To Grow, and I was meandering around their site the other day looking for a captain’s bed. Look at the one I found; the rather perfect Henri Captain’s Bed. Isn’t it GORGEOUS? Small yet perfectly formed, not so high as to be inaccessible for sick-child-parenting or bed-linen-changing, not so small as to be impractical and useless in the storage stakes. AND it looks great too. I...
The Bedroom Makeover is underway…
Finally, after a year of thinking about it (yeah, who am I kidding? I’ve been meaning to re-do our bedroom for 15 years. At least.), I’m actually in the middle of planning the bedroom makeover. It all started with the ‘9 things this Woman Craves From her Bedroom’ post from last summer. I mean – I spent aa-a-ges planning and researching that post; it would be a crime if that all went to waste, right? So...
Thinking About Decorating? You do know about Farrow & Ball paints, yes?
If you’ve done any interior decorating over the last ten years, you’re sure to have come across Farrow & Ball paints. And honestly – I’ve never met anyone who has tried them, and then reversed to modern paints instead. The company founders (John Farrow and Richard Ball) went against the trend of the 40s and refused to adopt acrylic paints. Instead, they invested in making paint using age-old...
