The front door is iconic – it gives the hospitable home vibe that we all want to see and its warm and welcoming. Often, little is thought of it.

Another house, another kitchen makeover! This is the first proper before and after decoration blog post for the new house – our kitchen mini-renovation. I showed you guys the living room but we didn’t do any ‘decorating’ in there. This time we didn’t go DIY kitchen makeover like we did last time we had a design done and a proper kitchen fitter come and install everything so it was sorted within a week. Whereas, when we did it ourselves it was over a number of months until we had our finalised kitchen.
Every year, new decor and styles become trendy, but only last until the next new one comes along but some trends become classics and stand the test of time and then we get timeless home designs that suit any interior decor style.

You know I am all about the luxury home vibes and planning crazy dream homes full of concrete floors and extensions. Let’s face it, I love houses, property, interiors, other people’s homes – the lot!

A life size teddy is a massive stuffed toy (usually an animal like a bear or a dog, of course). Mine was a bear called Holly! It is often considered the perfect toy for children of any age especially young kids. Why are they great?

You can still sell your home during this time, providing the estate agency market is open. Houses for sale are still selling, regardless of the pandemic. Not only are they selling, but they are selling quickly. Ours flew out the door!
