After much deliberation, we actually tossed a coin! I'd found a Craig & Rose 1829 paint called Chalk White http://www.craigandrose.com/brands/1829/detail?colour=CHALK which was both true to the era & style, and also a lovely match for the marbleing within the fireplace. It was super sophisticated, and, within the Northern light in the room, a beautiful dove... Continue Reading →
Bathrooms, brain drain and brilliant news!
I don't even know where to start, it's been such a jam packed full to bursting week. 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...

Red Magazine property pages rock Moregeous

Bloody drawers for Project Deano don’t match!!
It was a bit of a hopeful flyer but I was convinced they'd match, the Tuscan Olive worktop and the Ikea Solar drawer fronts.... I've run all over Manchester chasing useless Parcelforce for them....waited six weeks..... and they look rubbish. Buggar buggar buggar. Back to Ikea for steel ones. And I think the lawn could...

Poor Rose Cottage gets a PPG15
Someone just told me it was Sunday, which means a whole weekend has gone by without me even noticing. Stuck in this bloody office for two days. I did escape to yoga today for an hour, and yesterday to watch an Almodovar on dvd I've had since Christmas and not watched, but 3hrs does not... Continue Reading →
