One of the main things that really attracted me to our new house was the size of the main bedroom. Coming from a small flat where our Queen bed basically touched the walls on both sides, just the idea of having more space to utilise in the bedroom felt like a dream. And the dream […]
I never had a utility room growing up, and so when I was viewing this house and saw that it had a utility room, I nearly died! To me, a utility room is a real luxury, and I couldn’t wait to make the space our own. The existing utility room when we moved in was […]
I really wanted to have a big birthday party at home this year to celebrate the opening of our home bar! To make it feel special, I hired in a bartender for the evening to serve both signature and classic cocktails, and I also had the evening catered so that people had a great savoury […]
