Coffee table details 🖤 we finally have a coffee Coffee table details 🖤 we finally have a coffee table in our lounge!! It was a real task deciding what to go for. 
We are so lucky with the size of our lounge and we felt we were getting rid of Rhodie’s play area if we went with something too big. After much deliberating, we opted for a budget friendly IKEA assemble which we are so pleased with! The glass gives the illusion of space, whilst offering that much needed coffee resting spot!

Will of course share more in due course! What do you think? Certainly not nailed the styling justttt yet!

Who knew it would be so difficult to photograph a Who knew it would be so difficult to photograph a down stairs loo 🤦🏼‍♀️ so here’s the deal, it’s not completely finished just yet, as we still have a blind to grab, and it’s since become the store place for all painting supplies, but I just had to share the colour. It would appear by my insta grid I don’t like much colour, but I do and this is the first real ‘splash’ of brightness. 
Downstairs loo can be boring, soulless places, and well we didn’t want that!

Can’t wait to share all the details, but for now here’s a snippet!

The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day of The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day off for me, thanks to my company offering everyone a day off to celebrate a new financial year 🙌🏻 So I spent it tryinggggg to declutter and get those rooms sorted - will it be done before the next #transformationtuesday 🤔
Naturally I’m knackered today so it was a nice change to be bound to a laptop. Kick started the day with some classic High School Musical 😂 How’s your Tuesday been?

A little man and his love for his garden 🌿 Wasn A little man and his love for his garden 🌿 Wasn’t this weekend just lush? The sunshine, the blue skies, things finally look bright! 
We had a busy one, sorting through some of the junk we carried through the move, and finally get those must keep items stored in our loft space! I am a little gutted I’m not showing you a transformation of the two spare rooms, but it’s not long now, just a couple more boxes to sort and some things to sell and we will finally have a 3 bedroom house!

Rhodie thoroughly enjoyed his zoomies  round the garden, especially once we took the fence back so he had more room to run! Doesn’t he just look so happy. All he wanted was us all to be in the garden all day!

The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go!

Blogmas | Ten Gift Ideas for that difficult person

I’m not one for gift guides.

I feel it’s rather personal preference on many gift ideas and of course can differ from person to person.

The true value in a present isn’t the monetary value you put aside, but the thought and feeling behind it.

The best present I have ever received was a personalised Hogwarts acceptance letter, along with a Hogwarts express ticket and more. There was no monetary value to it, but with my love of Harry Potter and the personalisation, I was overwhelmed.

All in all, you don’t have to spend an absolute fortune to give your friends and family a good gift this Christmas.

Here’s a gift list for those difficult people or when you want to give something a little different.


Personalised Prints / Calendars |
Whether it be a quote print, illustrated picture or self portrait, personalised prints are great Christmas prezzies, and can be found rather inexpensively too!! The best place to shop for gifts like these would be Etsy. If you don’t fancy a print per-say, a personalised calendar could be a great alternative. Pack with pictures with friends and family, is a great sentimental present that’s rather inexpensive and will last the year!

Winter warmer hamper |
If you’re really struggling, a hamper of essential winter goodies is a great alternative. Packed with fluffy socks, body butters and face masks, biscuits, hot chocolate sachets and some good old mulled wine. If you want it to be a little more sentimental, include personalised mugs, glasses or champagne flutes. This is perfect for someone you feel has ‘everything’, and just needs a feel good pamper hamper.

Spa Treatment | 

If you don’t fancy gifting a pamper hamper, gift a day to enjoy a treatment or two away from home. It’s a great gift for that one person who doesn’t give themselves enough downtime. With plenty of hotels offering spa treatments across the UK, they won’t have to travel too far to receive some A* relaxation.

Magazine subscription |
Magazines are a great escape for many, and a good way to keep up to date and on top of hobbies and celebrity news. Give a gift that lasts a year with a monthly subscription to a magazine. Whether it be Vogue, Fast Ford or otherwise, it’s a rather out of the box idea.

Theatre Tickets | 
A good show is always a great time, and you don’t have to venture too far from home to see one. Many of the top West End shows tour throughout the year across the UK. Purchasing tickets for Christmas can give someone something to look forward to in the New Year, and possibly enjoy something they never considered themselves!

Subscription Box | 
It really is a Christmas gift that just keeps on giving month by month. Subscription boxes come in all variations to suit every need. Choose from Beauty, Wine, Gin, cheese or even books. For beauty lovers, I could not recommend the Cohorted box enough, you can find my review here.

Don’t worry about paying for a whole 12 months, many subscription boxes allow you to pay for a one off!!

Tickets to the local football stadium tour | 
If you have a sport lover who has every game and equipment needed, maybe some tickets to the local football / rugby stadium tour is a great gift to give this Christmas. A once in a lifetime experience  any sport love will enjoy and look forward to.

Date Night Vouchers – Cinema Gift Card |
This is a perfect couple gift. Fairly inexpensive but worth a lot in time and experience for whoever receives it. Give them a date night on you with a trip to the cinema. If your feeling extra generous, pop in a restaurant voucher too for either before or after the movie!

Attraction Tickets | 
We usually are a culture of materialistic things and sometimes just sometimes, it would be nice to get out of the house and enjoy something different. Nab some tickets to some top UK attractions your gift receiver can use through the year. Whether it be for Thorpe Park, Maddame Tussauds or otherwise, it will be a great prezzie to give to someone who doesn’t get much time to enjoy themselves.

Track Days | 
Have a petrol head or speed freak that likes to get their kicks in a car. Or someone who has always drooled over the latest Ferrari. Give them a opportunity to get behind the wheel of some wild cars for one day only. Track days operate once again across the country and will be the once in a lifetime for your gift receiver to put their foot down and enjoy the roar of a gorgeous car! Pull together other family members to cover the cost if it’s a little out of budget!

We all have those family and friends members who answer ‘I dunno’ when asked what they would like for Christmas. Blow them away with some pretty thoughtful and out of the box ideas that could turn out to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Best of all, most of these can be bought last minute, so no worries if it will arrive in time!

Do you have someone difficult to buy for?
