It’s #FixItFriday – and your challenge this weekend is to freshen up the doors!
A while back, a friend of mine had moved house, was doing up the new one and was agonising over her choice of ‘door furniture’. Really? It has a name? That’s just doorknobs to you and me, isn’t it? Hmmm. I cast my mind back several centuries to when we newlyweds had moved into our lovely new home. We were doing the usual business of stamping our ownership on the place – and decided in our infinite wisdom...
It’s #FixItFriday – and your challenge this weekend is to freshen up the walls!
We’ve been astounded by the popularity of our recent #TinyRoomMakeover – it seems we’re not the only ones who have struggled with what to do with a really tiny child’s bedroom. So we’re really excited to be working with Homebase over the next few weeks on a new series, called #FixItFriday. This isn’t about the complete dramatic makeover of rooms – this is all about a quick fix, and how a...
The Samsung American Showcase Fridge Freezer. We’re a bit in love.
We were recently asked to review the samsung American Showcase Fridge Freezer for ao.com – and actually we had to think long and hard before we said yes. Because this is one HUGE fridge – and having it in our kitchen meant a total redesign of our space! In the ned we opted to place it in our utility room – although it’s not as convenient as having the fridge right in the kitchen, it is only 10 steps away (and...
The Tiny Bedroom Makeover – it’s the Grand Reveal!
As regular readers know, we’ve been hard at work the last week on our Tiny Bedroom Makeover, creating a total transformation in our 7yr old daughters’ L-shaped tiny shoebox bedroom. You can follow all the Tiny Bedroom Makeover posts here, but this is the end result. And we’re a bit pleased with how it finally turned out… Remember – this is where we began. Green walls, still in her cotbed, no storage,...
Missing a finishing touch to the makeover – and wall stickers were IT! #TinyRoomMakeover
So having decided on the plain walls, and properly loving their simple plain-ness, we wavered once the room started to be filled. The entrance ‘leg’ by the door was just a little too plain. Her easel had been broken down, and the chalk and white boards were mounted on the right, but on the left we had nothing. The husband picked up a cute little photo frame, but it was too small to fill the wide stretch of wall that first...
Solving the impossible; which bed fits a kid’s tiny bedroom? #TinyRoomMakeover
So the room is now all set and ready to be refilled. We’d upcycled some furniture, we’d painted new shelves, we’d thought about storage.But how to choose the bed… When we started the whole room, this is where we began the design process. The room is so very tiny that the bed had to the main feature.We’d tried all sorts of options on paper.We decided the best option was definitely to lift the bed off...
