How Can you Make a Tiny Kids Room Perfect? #TinyRoomMakeover

When we bought our house back in 1992, it had been decorated throughout by the previous couple – everything was neat and tidy, and in bland late 80’s taste. We slowly re-decorated most of the rooms, pretty much as driven to by necessity: a ceiling came down thanks to a burst radiator pipe, a ceiling came down thanks to a shower leak, a pregnancy happened so a spare room had to be made into a nursery… you get the...

Bostik Craft Blog – not what you’d normally use it for… #TinyRoomMakeover

This month I’ve been so madly busy with various projects I simply haven’t had a chance to sit and do crafts with my daughter. I know, I’m a bad bad mother. BUT. That does not mean I haven’t had the Bostik out. Oh no. In fact, I’ve been a good GOOD mother. AND I had to go and buy another tube of the extra strong Glu & Fix All Purpose. I LOVE this magic stuff-in-a-tube. Properly LOVE it. Want to see...

  This week, disaster has occurred. The shower in our one and only bathroom has ceased to function. Anyone in a large family knows what a Major Disruption this is – there are six of us. We do NOT have time to bath (and we won’t even talk about the elderly boiler that only fills 3″ of bath water…).

9 Things This Woman Craves From Her Bedroom

So I got married and moved into my house 22 years ago (almost to the day, actually – 4th July was our 22nd wedding anniversary). It’s a 1920’s semi, which was decorated in a very neat and very uninspired early 90’s fashion – woodchip on the ceilings, with plain and painted textured wallpaper all round. The first thing we decorated in our excitingly lovely new house was our bedroom – and we were...
