Our work pants go through a lot at Moregeous Manisons. Three years ago I casually packed up all my 'nice' clothes and confidently stored them in a shipping container in Trafford Park, along with all our furniture, books and kitchen paraphernalia. Confidently because I figured they'd be in there for, ooooooo, I guessed around 10-12... Continue Reading →
Share: Using Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish in Anthracite
The enthusiasm for all things decor grey shows no signs of abating and we're pretty much spoiled for choice in terms of indoor paint. There are hundred, literally hundreds to choose from. Outdoor paint is fairly well covered too, with some delicious shades of exterior paint by both affordable and premium brands. However, painting outdoor... Continue Reading →
Share: Firebird Hope Pop-Up Manchester
Even at non-interior design food pop-ups, I can't seem to get away from all things green and botanical at the moment. 2017, you're really spoiling me as regards all things lush and hey, I'm not complaining.

Recipe: The Best Microwaved Scrambled Eggs
For the first year of being hobless I was loathe to over-use the microwave, ever mindful of the urban myth that the man who invented it refused to have one in his house. Nuking your food all day everyday surely can't be the secret to a long life so I'm careful not to rely on... Continue Reading →
Renovation Recipe: Chilli Drumsticks, Roast Veg & Garlic Baguettes
This is a great combination of ingredients, fast to prepare, very little messing and only a small amount of space needed. It's a winter warmer on cold days and equally as hearty on a self build summer evening. One of the things I've found hardest during our kitchenless refurb has been the cold; preparing cold...
