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!

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!

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.

Unique ways to paint your walls!

We’ve been on a grand ‘ol mission to get our home bursting with colour. Having lived in a bland, new build home for over 3 years, we have been pretty eager to inject some flavor. We’ve managed to create our very own colour palette that works across our entire home, but deciding how we would get this colour into our space was a different question altogether. Just painting up and down is no longer a thing. Whilst carefully painted walls are beautiful, sometimes a little creativity can go a long way.

To give you some alternative ideas, here’s how too add some colour to your walls this SS19, without just painting your walls..

Paneling

It’s classic and it will suit any home, especially those with classic features, or a traditional past. Paneling seems to be growing in popularity, and with many instagrammers taking the trend into their home, it’s bound to grow more so. I especially love the kind that doesn’t completely cover the wall, and creates a dual colour aspect into a space.

Read : How to make any room, feel bigger.

Where to use paneling?

Don’t panic, you can pretty much use paneling in any space of your home. There is of course, the different type of paneling to consider to. I would suggest you think wisely on the ‘theme’ or feel you are trying to achieve. To add grandeur to a space, large square paneling may work better, especially in a living, or bedroom space. If you are looking to bring a farmhouse / rustic style into your home, tonge and groove paneling will be more ascetically pleasing and will work in any space including a bathroom.

Partly painted or 50/50

https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/492649944801011

This is a style we have certainly adopted in our home, partly due to our ceiling height and wall size.

Partly painting your wall, or going for a half and half effect can help incorporate colour, without having to paint the entire wall. Plus, its a pretty modern take on the classic dado rail style all us grew up with our homes. Combining stunning shades, or being bold with contrasting colours using the partly painted effect

It doesn’t have to be exactly half….

Oh no, going for slated lines, a quarter height or even three quarter height can all have the same effect, and create a truly striking space.

You can add some picture rails

If you do want a classic, yet classy look, you may want to consider a picture rail. Whilst our parents may have donned the infamous dado rail, using one correctly can create a classic, rather traditional look.

Ombre

This certainly is a little tricker than all the other paint styles, but if you get it right, it can create a gorgeous centrepiece in your space. I’ve seen lots of tutorials online and it seems fairly easy, but I just haven’t been brave enough to do it in our home yet.

There are so many ways you can paint your home. Being average may be easier and pretty safe, it can be more fun, daring and bold to incorporate different techniques in painting and using colour. We are so happy to have used some of these methods through our home. We have just a couple of spaces left to paint, but we already have so many exciting plans to incorporate more!

What would you consider creating in your home? Any of these ideas inspire you to be a little more creative? As always, be sure to share your thoughts in the comment section below.
