It feels so good to welcome spring with open arms, after what felt like a lifetime of cold winter months. I lost count of how many times I peered out from my kitchen window, over my dreary garden. I’ve been looking forward to the day I could step outside, without the freezing chill hitting me […]

Who knew creating wire word wall art (try saying that 10 times in a row quickly), would be so easy to make?!! I’m not saying my first attempt was perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s definitely a hobby I’ll try perfecting. Creating personal wall art for your home adds a personal touch, […]

If you love to decorate, the chances are you’ve heard of Farrow & Ball.
