Paint strip, you pervs!! It's a day of rest of course, in most people's lives, but I was wide awake at 7am and bored by 9. As I faced the depressing prospect of showering in my hideous unrenovated bathroom after finishing the gorgeous Liner Luxury period bathroom yesterday, I wondered what little thing I could...

Installing a glass shelf within shower in the grout line
The period bathroom at Linen Luxe is almost complete, and though it's been a real challenge, to totally transform the bathroom in three weeks, it has actually worked, I can't quite believe it. Yes, I know you all watch 60 Minute Makeover, and they did Changing Rooms in 2 days, but this is REAL LIFE!!!... Continue Reading →
I LOVE a bargain!! Nick Munro at John Lewis, it’s going in the BrookBox
I loved these Nick Munro ( http://www.nickmunro.com/ ) for John Lewis walnut and chrome bathroom fittings when they were launched a while back, and fell off my feet when I saw them in store reduced and winking at me as I walked past bathrooms.

Linen Luxe Living emerging, with toss of a coin for paint pickin

Linen Luxe has come on an absolute treat this week, with the odd total disaster thrown in for good measure: All the wall and floor tiles arrived and the underfloor heating was laid (and taped down!), then a...

The worst picture in the world!
Busy sorting a flat (previously posted and pictured), which is rented to tenants but currently empty and needing tlc, for friend who lives abroad. Oh lord, its worse than I thought... This is a picture which is hanging in the flat, it's big, say 80cm x 60cm, with pride of place in the living room.... Continue Reading →
A Moregeous lesson in decorators caulking
Just like a Wild West cowboy with a fast and lethal trigger finger, in the world of Moregeous, my caulking finger is a skilled, faithful and unsurpassed weapon in my armoury of decorating. Well, it was until Granuloma Annulare attacked, hence the lumpy bumpy never-make-it-to-a-hand-cream-commercial digit you see in the pictures. But it still has... Continue Reading →
