How we transformed our tricky alcoves by fitting these stunning alcove fitted wardrobes for maximum storage!

Our 1930s house renovation was a learning experience like no other. If you’re new to a renovation, hopefully some of these experiences will help you make your project run more smoothly.

You know those niggling jobs where you think “I’ll get to that at some point…” Well stained glass window refurbishment is one of those. But it is now DONE and we’re really pleased with the result!

I'm not kidding when I say I've been looking for new living room curtains for 4 MONTHS now! They are awkward curved bay windows, but I've finally found the solution...

Here’s a nifty open plan kitchen diner idea that we implemented. When you’re limited for kitchen wall space and can’t hang a radiator, kick space heaters (also known as plinth heaters) are the solution…

We’ve made some updates to our living room now that autumn is approaching, hope this inspires you if you’re looking for autumn decor ideas.

In this post we share a list of mistakes that we made during the renovation of our 1930’s semi-detached house. Make sure to put on your cringe-protection suit as you venture into our quagmire of renovation face-palm!

About to buy a house soon? Make it a fixer upper! We’re sharing all the reasons why it’s a must-do project…

When it comes to budgeting for a house renovation, and predicting costs, it’s the one area we felt very confident in managing. I’ll tell you why…

This is one of my most requested blog posts, even though it was such a simple room to make over. Read how I transformed our unloved conservatory to a utility room…

Every year I sit down with Neil and we make a list of the areas of the house we’d like to save for and work on. It’s a really great way to get focus on what you want to achieve with your house renovation. Have a read, and get ideas for yours…

After a 2 year wait living in the most retro bathroom you can imagine, finally we did it. Take a look at our bathroom makeover, with before & after pictures (and promo codes if you’re renovating too!)

It feels like only yesterday the house was full of dust from our kitchen diner renovation and I didn't see myself planning the next project so soon... but yet here I am putting early ideas together for our bathroom project which will hopefully start in Summer/Autumn depending on estimates.

For anyone embarking on a home renovation project up against hours (or more like days!) of researching products and brands ahead of them, I wanted to list the tried and tested suppliers we used for our Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Diner to hopefully help you make some faster choices :)

Like the impatient blogger I am I have been DYING to share this post for over 6 months now, ever since we began planning our kitchen diner makeover – and finally, IT'S HERE! My dream kitchen makeover and everything that happened in between. Come inside and I'll stick the kettle on...

While the renovation to our Kitchen Diner has been happening I've been locking myself away in my teeny uninspiring office trying to stay sane. So, I thought I would use the #BlankCanvas opportunity to get some ideas for how I could temporarily spruce up my home office until I've got more time to sort it out properly, calling on the Julian Charles' in-house designers and my instagram friends for advice. Come see my updates!

We are 4 weeks in to our kitchen diner remodel and honestly, it is amazing what can be done to a house in less than 1 month. I feel like the house has transformed! 

As we start the next phase of our home renovation in our 1930s home, I can't help but feel the pressure. 

*and breathe*

If you're in the early, first-time stages of renovating or redecorating a kitchen like me, and you too have no idea what the process to order a new kitchen entails, then I hope today's post will help walk you through how we have designed and (almost) ordered ours at Howdens.

If, like me, you are on the market to buy windows soon this post will help you work out whether PVC-U or Timber windows are the best option for you.
