At the end of last year, we started our Living Room Makeover, which included the lounge and dining area of our home. These areas have pretty much been left to their own devices since we moved in, over four years ago. There were other, more pressing projects, which we needed to tackle first.

As you know, I love interiors and decorating my home is a great creative outlet! My only wish is that I had an unlimited budget. That said, you do not have to spend a fortune on decorating. Shopping online on platforms like Superbalist, is a great way to save money on a range of decor items. I have put together my Superbalist Decor Wishlist, which includes bathroom and living room decor.

[Read more…]Kitchen Lighting – Decor Update 2017
Something I am realising rather quickly is that home improvements never really go according to plan! That and the fact that I am a perfectionist and want everything done yesterday, is not a great combination. We have had a few minor hiccups with our bathroom reno but nothing that a glass or two of vino cannot sort out. But more about that next time. One of the decor updates we have managed to complete is a revamp of our Kitchen Lighting.
Boardmans Celebrate the Month of Love
Celebrate with Boardmans & Win R1000 Voucher!
I have a bit of an obsession with black and white at the moment and you all know how I feel about red! So naturally when I saw the latest Boardmans trends, it was love at first sight!
Creating warm and inviting spaces in my home makes me happy and I think Boardmans have captured the essence of romance so well! Their range of “romance” inspired homeware, will help you create the perfect setting for that special dinner at home or simply help add a bit of glamour to your space!
Influenced by the pop-art prints and striking colour palettes of the swinging 1960s, every room in your home will feel the love. Add drama to your space with bold colours such as black, white and red. Introduce these colours to your living room with patterned scatter cushions, classic picture frames and contemporary vases.
I cannot think of anything more luxurious than wrapping up in a fluffy towel after a long, bubble bath! Boardmans’ have got you covered, with a wonderful range of bath towels and sheets, in the timeless colour palette of white, grey and fiery red. To keep the look contemporary in the dining room, why not go with a pared-down palette of black and white crockery and pinstripe placemats. For something a bit more fun, I am loving the heart-shaped cut out place mats and cherry red charger plates. These work perfectly with a set of black perspex cutlery and acrylic geometric tumblers.
