We’ve been sharing our renovation journey for the past 10 years and the questions we get asked again and again are how to budget for home improvements and how much we paid for something (including our house). Money is a bit of a weird subject though, isn’t it? It feels like everyone is sharing amazing interiors with gorgeous (and expensive) furniture, renovations seem to happen at lightning speed and weirdly nobody seems to have any kind of budget restraints when decorating their homes both on Instagram and in Blogworld. For most of us though, the reality is very different....…We’ve been sharing our renovation journey for the past 10 years and the questions we get asked again and again are how to budget for home improvements and how much we paid for something (including our house). Money is a bit of a weird subject though, isn’t it? It feels like everyone is sharing amazing interiors with gorgeous (and expensive) furniture, renovations seem to happen at lightning speed and weirdly nobody seems to have any kind of budget restraints when decorating their homes both on Instagram and in Blogworld. For most of us though, the reality is very different....WW…

Ad – This post is in collaboration with Paint & Paper Library.Transforming an old piece of furniture into a stylish and bespoke item is easier than you think and we’re sharing how to paint a wardrobe so that you can give an unloved piece of furniture a new lease of life, too. Our wardrobe was an amazing second-hand find but it was a bit damaged and we weren’t exactly fans of the orangy-yellow pine colour. Now our newly painted wardrobe is almost unrecognisable and I think you’ll agree that it looks spectacular. We love upcycling furniture and it’s a great way to create a home...…Ad – This post is in collaboration with Paint & Paper Library.Transforming an old piece of furniture into a stylish and bespoke item is easier than you think and we’re sharing how to paint a wardrobe so that you can give an unloved piece of furniture a new lease of life, too. Our wardrobe was an amazing second-hand find but it was a bit damaged and we weren’t exactly fans of the orangy-yellow pine colour.

We’ve all been there. You bought a can of (possibly very expensive) paint, slapped it on the wall and within seconds of the first stroke of your paintbrush, you know that the colour you thought would be perfect is all wrong.You keep going back to the room hoping that the colour is better than you remember it to be, even though you only saw it a couple of minutes ago.You hope that it’ll dry differently. You hope that somehow the colour will miraculously change and you try to convince yourself that it will work, even though you know in your heart that it really won’t.Sound...…We’ve all been there. You bought a can of (possibly very expensive) paint, slapped it on the wall and within seconds of the first stroke of your paintbrush, you know that the colour you thought would be perfect is all wrong.You keep going back to the room hoping that the colour is better than you remember it to be, even though you only saw it a couple of minutes ago.You hope that it’ll dry differently.

All opinions and thoughts are of course our own!This summer, we’re giving ourselves a push to improve our outdoor space and make it a more usable and pleasant space to be in.We’ve taken up some of the tarmac that covered most of the garden (more on that soon), we’ve cleaned the patio and now we’ve just finished building a log store, too!We’d looked at a few ready-made log stores, but the only ones we could find were fairly expensive, not as big as we would have liked and some of them were a bit flimsy.

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to share today’s news with you. We’re starting out on an amazing new adventure and it’s completely life-changing in almost every possible way. If you follow us over on Instagram, you’ll already know what I’m on about…But not just any house, we bought our dream home that’s beyond anything I could have ever imagined and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s epic.Obviously, it’s not all as straightforward as it sounds and I have to admit that we’ve completely ignored our own advice and plans to be able to live in such an amazing...…I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to share today’s news with you.
