Transforming your conservatory into a stylish space

It's official we have started the property search for what will hopefully be our long-term home and a place we can feel settled. What we are looking for in the next property we buy is potential, the potential to add value, space and to be able to make our own. The last two properties have both needed work so that is not an issue, as long as we can adjust the layout to suit our needs then it's worth all the hard work and sweat to make it something special. There are a few things on our checklist such as outdoor space, two receptions rooms and preferable a family room that can bring the outside in and a conservatory would be perfect for that. Conservatories can sometimes get a bad wrap, some people may perceive them as outdated or limited in it's use but this could not be more untrue, if done properly they can be really stylish spaces that add value to your property as well as creating a somewhere you want to spend time in all year round. Sometimes all a conservatory ......

Monday Interiors - Wallpaper love

So as some of you may already know we are working on the house to get it ready to put on the market and we have been slowly sprucing up each room. After being so delighted with the Laura Ashely wallpaper we used in the nursery we decided that maybe our bedroom could do with a change up. I have to be honest I have never been a massive fan of wall paper simply because how often people use it in the wrong ways but if done right it can really create a chic and inspiring space. We wanted something subtle with a nature inspired print that has a hint of Orla Kiely to it which is why we went with this Ashcroft Sable  and I cannot wait until the bedroom is finished and share the end product with you.  We also really love all these Laura Ashley vintage and heritage prints at the moment which draw on nature, floral and botanical inspirations. Perhaps more suited for the older style property such as a bay fronted Victorian but would also work we'll in any kind of bedroo......

A little peek at the nursery

Our little nursery in the eaves is starting to come together We have recently paired up with the lovely people at Laura Ashley to bring a few special touches to our nursery we have been working on and you can see the full tour on the Laura Ashely blog  which is very exciting. Basically a few weeks ago this little room in the eaves was my office space since then we striped it back and slowly turned it into the nursery which is now almost finished. Having given it a coat of paint when we moved in we felt it needed a bit of colour and decided to use some beautiful Laura Ashley wall paper to the one side as well as some cute fabric star bunting to add a touch of texture and fun. We decided to go with a traditional British theme with hark back to the childhood fairytales of Peter Rabbit and Winnie the Pooh - which is actually engraved on this lovely Obaby Gliding crib , which is a slightly larger option to the moses basket we used last time and we are hoping to get a lot......

My bicycle love outfit

So I have to confess I just don't do Primark, not because of any other reason that I like clothes to last a longtime and to be well tailored and fitted and as much as I do think Primark has a place in todays fashion industry but supplying on trend clothing at a very reasonable price I am not too sure about the workmanship that goes into their clothes. Although when I saw this little number I had to get it....I mean a little skirt with a bicycle print...it had to be done. I paired it up with a Laura Ashley jumper and ASOS shoes. I love quirky prints, in fact I am probably a sucker for such things, anything with a little vintage feel and is youthful and fun, makes me happy. On that note there is a Vintage fair happening at the Woodville in Cardiff tomorrow, I would of posted about it sooner although i only found out about it tonight and if I have time I am sure John and I (and possibly the little man too) will stop by and check it out. Laura Ashley Jumper, Primark Skirt, ASOS p......
