This week I’m talking all things organisation. For me, I have to have a clean and tidy house to work in. Lots of mess, or things not put back in their place really distracts me from my job and makes me so much more stressed.

Posted by Sophie Ingleby on
Tip number 2 is all about curtains and how to get an expensive look, without an expensive price tag. Tip: Always have long curtains, down to the floor.

A big improvement on the gold wall but looked green on photos! I had been researching panelling ideas on...
Living Room Makeover
Posted by Sophie Ingleby on
The living room used to be my least favourite room in the house. I’m not sure why but it just never felt welcoming or homely, and I hated sitting in there. I think I’ve only sat in it a handful of times since getting the keys in January 2019.
