You know us here, we love a bargain and there's literally nowhere better to bag a bargain than your local charity shop. Are you a fan of digging through the fusty to find treasure? I can't get enough of it. Honestly, if I did 't have to work for a living, that's totally what I'd... Continue Reading →
Just like Rocky a few short months ago, this ginger tinged sideboard adopted when we bought Moregeous HQ several years ago was sorely in need of some tlc. He'd been stored in an outside shed, ending up not only scratched and damp damaged, but also bereft of several of his decorative insert beads. I think... Continue Reading →
Never one to shy away from a challenge (have you *seen* Moregeous Mansions?!), I liked the idea of taking part in #PimpMyFrench set by Out There Interiors to work on and transform one of their French style drawer benches. I've been so emeshed in bricks, slates and DIY here as our build progresses, I figured it... Continue Reading →
With design and interiors work, I occasionally prefer not deciding on big spend items straight away but waiting to see how a project evolves, especially when there isn't the luxury of a sky high budget.

Delighted to be posting some before & afters and an overview of the design thinking behind a restaurant I recently reimagined, redesigned and decorated.

Any home type tips for the Bank Holiday, HuffPost UK & Homesense have asked me as part of our ongoing collaboration? Sit in the garden on a roasting hot May Day, with home prepared deliciousness grilling on coals and sipping a glass of something cold? Ha! Chances are in the UK, the sky will cloud...

Never one to turn down a day with some Annie Sloan, I recently spent a lovely Saturday lunchtime hosting a chalk paint demo for the Home Is In The North Event in Manchester. Matt at Northern Letters has blogged the event HERE if you'd like to see some lovely pics of the wonderful array of designer makers who... Continue Reading →
Big congrats to organisers Rachael & Victoria and to all the talented exhibitors at the very first Independent Interiors Show in Manchester yesterday for a very enjoyable and, according to visitors & designer-makers alike, a very successful day. It takes a lot of hard work behind the scenes to make something like this happen and I was delighted... Continue Reading →
Change is always revitalising and sometimes things which seemed previously okay, definitely will no longer do. Like my fairly battered, slightly orange wooden waste paper bin, long hidden under an attic desk. A perfectly nice, very practical bucket type bin which, as it will look totally out of place in my new white office but... Continue Reading →
