  3. How to get the most out of your Conservatory

    Comment
    I am a fan of home makeover shows - especially as I am planning a house move - and am always looking for inspiration - I cant wait to have a new project. Many of the houses on the house move websites have conservatories, but I know having had conservatories built before - I didn’t use them as often as I had anticipated. So what are the options? How do you ensure that you can fully integrate your conservatory to be a fully functioning part of your home? Is your conservatory too cold in the winter yet sweltering in the summer? Unfortunately, you can’t always rely on the weather, and it often interrupts those lovely evenings when you’d like to sit with a book or entertain...

  5. Reinventing Your Life Over 50 the French Way : Part Three Downsizing

    Comment
    Article by Meredith Keeve a.k.a. The Wandering Parisian   RIGHTSIZING…and learning to live in smaller spaces   In a sense, many French women have a head start, they have been living in tiny Parisian apartments and thus have managed to avoid accumulating too much. But for those of us who lived in houses (as I did in North America for over a decade) the luxury of space meant the luxury of acquisition and now, as they say in museum-speak we must de-acquisition. If you are so inclined Marie Kondo and her Konmari method is everywhere in books, on television and on youtube. If she is not your cup of tea there are other organizational methods, numerous books and articles…. But, if you cannot be bothered...

  6. How to Upgrade Your Home Décor with These Amazing Tips

    Comment
      When it comes time to make changes to your home, it can be an exciting endeavour. Over time, styles and trends change, and that means that home décor needs to be updated periodically in order to stay up with the latest fashion. Not only that, but updating home décor can be the easiest way to create an entirely different look and feel in the home, and costs significantly less than a renovation.   Home renovations are costly, to say the least. But so too are they time consuming. After a long day at work, the last thing most homeowners want to do is come back to a home torn apart and looking like a construction zone. An unfinished home can be a source of stress, and...

  7. Making The Most Of Your Garden

    Comment
      Maximising the use of our outdoor space and gardening can be a scary prospect at first. We might fear using the wrong type of soil, or creating somewhat disorganised flower beds, or neglecting to maintain our gardens in the right way. We might fear pests, the issues that can occur when growing vegetables, or simply wasting too much time for very little result. And yet, anytime you can spend within your garden is time well spent, because it’s thoroughly restorative to your mind and body. This means that while we’re embracing plants and trowels, taking a healthier mindset towards gardening can be worthwhile. So what if you’re not quite keeping up with the Joneses, or you wish to take a few chances? This is how we...

  9. Redefining your space: Updating your home needn’t cost a fortune

    Comment
    Transforming your home needn’t cost a fortune. While everyone else tuned in to watch Marie Kondo declutter on Netflix, I came across the Great British Design Challenge – which originally aired on BBC2. It is a competition where each episode two amateur interior designers are given a budget, and a room (or two) to transform over two days. They achieve great results while spending relatively little Little projects can transform an entire room. I have several little projects I have thought about doing in the house, and re-watching this programme made me realise that if these designers could transform an entire room in two days, I should take the plunge and start on my own far less ambitious projects. I love being creative – and am quite happy...
