So what do you do when you have some unsightly copper piping like this on the left to cover up, apart from paint it? Use these babies of course! Scissors at the ready just cut them to the right length, unfurl them gently and snap them round the offending bit of copper. This clearly will... Continue Reading →
Should one strip on a Sunday?!
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.

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
Clearly Uma Thurman just wasn't glamorous enough for Red Magazine this month and they needed a bit of property inspired Northern gorgeousness hehe: I am a little confused by the title of the piece as I am not entirely sure the slump is over yet?! They do say pride comes before a fall, so it'd... Continue Reading →
