Making the house look better, bit by bit.

Kitchen corner

It was a long old time ago that I first began thinking about improving our kitchen corner. You might remember this post here. Even if it weren’t clearly dated, I would still know how long ago it...

A labelling frenzy

I take it all back. In my last post about labelling things, I may have mentioned a blogger who made her own labels. And – I’ll confess – my tone may have been a little mocking. In fact, what I...

The dolls’ bed

Just as I never intended for this blog to become a record of child-based home improvements, I similarly never intended for what few craft activities I do have time for to be solely those for dolls...

Sorting and labelling

I do love to sort things out. But it’s a sad fact that things which are sorted out have a strange tendency to un-sort themselves. For ages I have happily blamed Oli for this, accusing him of...

Lovely personalised art

Regular readers (and a big ‘hello‘ to both of you) will know I’m a sucker for personalised art. The vague ‘to buy’ list I carry around in my head of stuff for the house is not committed to paper,...

Half-height hooks

Brace yourselves. If you have small children, and a house full of stuff, then I am going to share with you the kind of blindingly obvious storage solution that could change your life. Hooks....

Christmas preparation (it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…)

Christmas has sneaked up on me a little this year. Obviously the nature of Christmas is that, even though we all know perfectly well about the passage of time, and the date on which it falls, we...

A productive month

Time for a little playhouse update? Yes- I think so. You may remember that I shared some grand plans for the playhouse a while back. Have those plans been realised? Hell – no. Not in any way. I do...

Storage or display?

My lovely parents came to visit for the weekend, and offered up as a gift, my father’s DIY skills for the duration. This is even better than it sounds, since my father is really very clever. It is...

Apologies for yet another planning post, rather than a ‘things I have actually done’ post. It is a sad fact of being very pregnant that there will probably be a bit more planning than doing going...

Bedside corner

I never intended for this blog to become a record of only child-related corners. But somehow, without my intending to, it’s looking a little child-focussed. So, fresh from my kitchen window...

Kitchen window inspiration

The kitchen window is a corner of our home that has been bugging me for some time. One of its myriad sins is that I find it impossible to get a good picture of it, hence the strangely lit picture...

Hey, come in! Why not have a nose around my eldest daughter’s room? She’s only four. And she doesn’t know what a blog is, let alone that I have one, so she’s unlikely to object for some time yet. I...

Birthday bunting

I decided to make some birthday bunting. In fact, let’s rephrase that. In a moment of slightly hormonal madness, I decided it was imperative that we should not only have birthday bunting, but that...

Grand plans for the playhouse

We bought the girls their playhouse last year as a joint birthday present. Knowing how long it takes to get anything done round here, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that it is only now, a full...

I realised with a bit of a jolt recently that I am lighting-illiterate. Now, obviously there are many things about our house that I would like to improve. In fact, I have a tentative blog post in...

House dilemmas

It seems that most people don’t have house dilemmas. Not in the sense that I seem to have them. I honestly look around me, and I think most people move into their homes, furnish them, and then...

I think the experience of emptying out the kitchen wardrobe may have gone to my head. It was really incredibly soothing to find I could empty an entire piece of furniture into the house, and then...

I love it when a plan comes together

Here is the dresser that sits in the corner of our front room. I love this dresser. It cost me about £60 on ebay (and, ahem, about £140 to physically get it here. But let’s gloss over that). I know...
