It’s #FixItFriday – and your challenge this weekend is to sort out that kitchen appliance!
Recently we had to change our fridge freezer – and whilst our initial reaction was “but it’s not that old!” we quickly realised that actually our fridge freezer had been looking after our milk and leftovers for at least 12 years; probably longer (it was so old we’d forgotten when exactly we bought it). When we realised that, we cast our eyes around our ‘new’ kitchen – and realised that...
Superheroes in the bedroom.
Following the makeover early this summer of the boys’s room into a Marvel Avengers den, we’ve been on the hunt for some different accessories to go with it. Talk about spoilt for choice! We found some beauties – and none of them will break the bank, either… This superheroes post was inspired by Simoney’s top 10 superheroes blog
It’s #FixItFriday – and your challenge this weekend is to freshen up the bedroom furniture!
Freshen up the bedroom – often it’s a task that we think is all about the actual decor. You can lose the 1980’s wallpaper, take the yucky old carpet up and have some delicious stripped boards and a lovely soft rug under your toes… and your old bedroom furniture might suddenly revive and gain a new lease of life.

Sleep helps our bodies stay fit and keeps our brains sharp. But...
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...
