I am sure no one is even remotely surprised, when I say I love ART! Our old home was filled with different artwork and prints. For me art is very important as I think it is a powerful tool to showcase your personal style in your home. Art also makes me extremely happy, so I… Read More
What a crazy year 2020 has been.. from COVID-19 to lockdowns and amongst everything else we decided to sell the house and guess what – we sold it within two weeks of it being put on the market!! We may have been a little naive and didn’t really expect the house to sell straight away… Read More

You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this moment and actually having a patio area. We bought our house almost 4 years ago now, but as most of it needed quite a bit of updating, we needed to decide which projects were more important. Sadly garden was always considered a luxury… Read More
