British fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog.
Wherever you currently live, when you first stepped into your home you probably saw a blank canvas. After all, it would have been in the seller’s interest for you to perceive how you could make their home… well, yours.
Since, you’ve probably created a picture of your personality without even realising – I know we have in our home. Check out our dining room makeover, bedroom tour and kitchen before and after! Here are examples of how and how you could amp it up further…
You guys will know I’m trying super hard to shop less, be sustainable with my style, make eco-friendly changes around the home and generally try and be kinder to the environment and I think I’m doing my bit.
I still have so many things that I want to change and adapt too and the next thing on my list is eco-friendly cleaning products. The guys over at Pattersons have sponsored this post and provided a really cool list of three eco friendly cleaning hacks below. I mean, it’s not spring but there’s not a seasonal limit on changing up your eco friendly habits, right?
Improving our homes, lives and bank balances is definitely up there for most of our lists, am I right? I know that those things are up there for me definitely and if you know me, you’ll know that I’m always trying to change things in my house to be more eco-friendly and money saving. I popped up a post a few months ago about five easy eco-friendly things that you can introduce to your life at home that can help you save money and improve things for the environment. Today I have a sponsored post with loads of awesome information from the UK’s leading LED lighting specialists, INUI®.
If you read my blog or follow me on Instagram you’ll know that I like fashion, I’m a little bit beauty obsessed and food is up there in the top five loves of my life. But – interiors and styling up my home is my one true love!
Ever since we bought our first ‘proper’ home just over a year ago it’s been full steam ahead to make this little Victoria terrace our dream place to live. After almost 5 years of renting and looking after other people’s magnolia or white-washed walls it was time for us to release our personality into our home life. Although I think our rooms are pretty funky – they have their own themes as you walk through the house, I think I’ve created a basis of timeless style that can grow and develop with us as a couple and in the future, a family.
A year after moving into our house, our kitchen is ready to be seen by the internet! When we moved in we were dealing with a really dated kitchen, matching floor and cupboards in the same wood, a grotty sink I won’t even show you because it was so stained and broken tiles with painted wallpaper. Add on about a million wall plugs which didn’t need to be there and an 80s back door and we had the start of our project.
As exciting as it can be to move house, it’s also a very stressful process. Searching for a new house is often the easy part, we all love a little Rightmove stalk, don’t we? It’s all the other aspects of the moving process that prove tricky. There are so many things to prepare before you can move out of one house and get settled in another even if you don’t own the house you’re moving from as we found last time we moved. The entire experience can prove emotionally and financially draining, but there are definitely ways to reduce the strain of the process. Let’s talk about how you could start protecting your sanity, money, and time when moving home.
Being eco-friendly, friendlier to the environment and more sustainable in our every day life is something we’ve been trying to improve as a household for months now. I’ve found a few tips, tricks and products that have really been helping us keep on top of this and wanted to share some of my favourites.
Winter is (fingers crossed) almost gone for another year and the longer days and warmer weather should be starting to make themselves known again. I won’t lie to you, it’s a good feeling to not have to put on three thermals and a jumper just to leave the house! I mean, I’ve only got one thermal on today. *Eye roll emoji* Is summer around the corner?
As you probably know, I love a bit of interior design, Pinterest and shopping for homewares. You can check out our living room before and after if you fancy taking a nose around our home. I wanted to share three of my favourite styles for a little bit of interiors inspiration in case you’re decorating or looking for some style inspiration that isn’t ‘all grey everything’. As much as I love a grey haven it’s not the style I go for in my own home. Ours is a mix of these three styles as I like to take little bits of styles that I like and mix them all together.
Oh hi there, it’s been a little while and this post is exactly the reason why it’s been a couple of weeks since my last post. You can blame this little grey room for the lack of content around here because it’s just been super duper hectic as we’ve really cracked on with decorating these past few weeks.
