A couple of weeks ago, during a chat with the Didsbury Life office, Helen mentioned that one of the independent restaurants in West Didsbury was considering a bit of a facelift in time for the annual WestFest weekend.

Project Squeeze – Glam little loft conversion bedroom
Once upon a time, not very long ago (four months to be exact), I am ASHAMED to say one of my tenants slept in a room like this. It looks like a half-way house doesn't it?! I don't hang my head too far down because this horrific decor wasn't my choice but rather adopted from... Continue Reading →

It's been grandly positioned in the hallway of the three bedder I rent out as the space sorely needed something cool to brighten it up. The bad news - bloody tenants aren't making up their minds this... Continue Reading →
