After over a year of lockdown, a lot of us have had to adjust to working from home. Working from home has many advantages such as added flexibility and no commute. However, we are more likely to get distracted by our environment whilst at home due to factors such as partners also working from home, children if you're a parent, or the ever so tempting house chores amongst others. We've been pinning again, and we would love to share some swoonworthy work spaces, that will also improve your productivity! First things first: if you want to be productive, your environment needs to motivate you. Personalise your desk by adding wall prints with positive messages to get you through the day, or images and a...
The play room revamp seemed to be one of the most refreshing and smooth revamps we have done at home over the last three years, especially since every room we have decorated here lately has taken such a long time (hello kitchen makeover which took three months!)

I have no idea how it has been already two and a half years since we moved in?! The first thing we did was to paint white over the lime-green walls we had inherited in the kitchen. Three times over and we banished the lime green for good!
We made the kitchen useable but it wasn’t totally to our taste. With a strong dislike for dark oak kitchen units and dark tiles, flooring, worktop, the ‘dark on dark’ look never did it for me.

When my husband and I were looking for our first place together, we were shown no less...
