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?

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! 
👈🏼 Swipe left to see the bland before!

How to Switch up your Instagram feed – for the better!

I’ve been working on my Instagram for a while now. From starting at my attitude towards the app, to now working on how I use the app, and what I see. Instagram, in the shortest form, is just like every other social media platform. Albeit, it’s the most popular ( right now ) and can have hugeeee potential for small business’, influencers and bloggers. Most of the brands we associate with have marketing being plugged via Instagram and influencers / bloggers so it’s no surprise we are all desperate to gain followers, likes and reach.

But instagram recently have decided to make a change, somewhere, and we have all been affected with the followers we do have being able to see our content organically. Hashtags are seeming useless and whatever time of the day you upload need matter anymore. Basically we are pretty f**ked and no one really knows how to get around this ‘new’ norm.

As I watched Vix Meldrew’s IGTV I was kicked into action so to speak, and rather than see this a negative ( it is, but what is moaning and sulking going to do about it). I decided to take it in my stride and do what I have needed to do for a fair while actually – shake up what I use the platform for, what I see and engage with and ultimately the content I produce!

But where to start? What to do first?

Where better to start than the content I SEE to spur me on to change and create content that works for me. Since joining the app many moons ago, the content I like to read, like and comment on has changed dramatically. I no longer really care for the latest lippie, nor do I really mind what the latest trend on the catwalk is. I much prefer lifestyle content, travel snaps and real chatty captions. Not forgetting the home porn of a nice velvet sofa either.

This is where I started to switch up my Instagram feed for the better.

Read : What I learnt from posting a new post every day for a year

Un-followed the irrelevant

Okay, this is not mean – lets get that straight. As I said, our agendas change, and what we used to find interesting or something we wanted to know about may no longer apply. That’s okay. You’ve got to be cruel to be kind, and you would much prefer a follower count of interested, engaged followers wouldn’t you? You’re only do the same to the accounts you currently follow. Scroll through your feed, check your following list, whatever way you find easiest, un-follow the accounts that no longer spark your interest.

** Remember – you may have hashtags that you followed that too don’t spark interest – be sure to un-follow them aswell **

Muted the un-relatable

Sometimes un-following may not be something you want to do. Much rather, muting the un-relatable content may be better suited. I have done this for some of the bigger and pretty un-realtable content. I do like to comment and check in on what they are doing so un-following may not be the best course of action. Much rather I have muted their posts so I can have a feed full of more relatable content.

Cut the ads / branded content

Whilst I don’t actually mind sponsored posts on my feed, I don’t like the ad’s Instagram shove on my feed, if that makes any sense. So I tend to hide the ads, and even mute branded pages too. I like to follow such brands, but seeing their content on my feed stops me being able to see content I actually want to engage and be updated with.

Find other users of similar content

Sometimes you really need to find like minded accounts to spur on your own creativity. Using the discover aspect, or using hashtags that include your interests, find posts and content providers that are of interest. Often refreshing the accounts you do follow allows you to find and explore new accounts and content!

Change the hashtags you use

Attracting like minded followers comes from the hashtags you use, let alone the current accounts that do follow you. You *should* be mix matching the hashtags you use on your posts regularly anyway, but more so when looking for new followers. Use hashtag generators to find new and upcoming hashtags that have relevance.

Using this time in Instagram to switch things up, alter your agenda and change what you want from the app is the most beneficial way to use this downtime. As Vix says, you won’t be losing out on anything and if it goes tits up, you have the algorithm to blame.

Will you be using this time to switch things up? What will you be changing in your app whilst Instagram sorts itself out? As always, leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
