Danny, my youngest boy, is almost two years old. And up until now I haven’t felt inspired enough to create a cosy and dreamy bedroom for him. When you get to the point where you have three kids, somewhere along the line you lose interest in the little things that used to spark joy. I loved decorating Georgie’s bedroom when we first moved into our new home over 6 years ago- it was my favourite room in the house- and I put alot of effort into James’s bedroom when he came along but poor little Danny still had a banner with the name Georgie on his bedroom wall and a basket full of broken toys in the corner. Not anymore. With the help of a truly beautiful range of products from Okiddoky, I am happy to announce that my baby boy has his own beautiful and organised little corner.
home and design
We’ve had one of those big ceramic pots on our veranda for over two years now. Inside is a climbing plant – not sure which kind- that quickly managed to cling onto the wall next to it. So when we decided to spray-paint the pot, we knew we wouldn’t be easy. Turns out it wasn’t that hard at all mainly because we had one of those spray paint handle grips. What a life changer. I have always loved spray painting stuff. Frames, pots, glass jars, ornaments and light fixtures. So I know a good spray paint brand when I see one. Enter Pinty Plus. Oh and they have little ones too. You know, for little hands.
I’ve been itching for a living room change for a year now. I didn’t need anything radically different. But I needed to breathe new life into the area which we use the most. I wanted cosiness and good vibes.
I have finally made some headway with a mini living room makeover I am planning this month. I am very excited about a certain floor lamp and a new rug and finally FINALLY another gallery wall. Most of the frames in this house are mainly on the floor leaning against a wall somewhere and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t stand it anymore. So I’m planning a gallery wall that will include local goodies from small local businesses like Artilicious with their gorgeous box frame creations.
How we’re preparing for Christmas with our Cyprus Hearts little wooden signs
I’m not even going to apologise or feel bad about it. I have been thinking about Christmas nonstop pretty much since September.
