Initially when we were planning our new bathroom, we were heading towards having tiled walls. White metro tiles, to be exact. I’ve got a pallet of them sitting in my cellar, ready to go the walls. Unfortunately for those tiles, I changed my mind and decided to go for wood panelling. It was easy toRead More
Weekend Wander round Bradshaw, Slaithwaite Huddersfield
Purely because I’m trying to get us all out and about more this year, we went on a wander round Bradshaw, a small hamlet near Slaithwaite in Huddersfield. Unfortunately for us it didn’t quite go to plan. I had thought there was a pub there so we could park up, have a wander round andRead More
Weekend Wander to York
York is one of my favourite places to visit. I love the history and character, and discovering new parts of the city I haven’t seen before. I’m always keen to add in a new weekend wander to York. In the Christmas holidays we took a day trip there. The plan was to walk aroundRead More
Weekend Wanders – Dovestone Reservoir
After one too many wines at a family party on New Years Eve, what better way to blow away the cobwebs than a wander round Dovestone Reservoir? Unfortunately for us, everyone else within a 20 mile radius also thought this was a good idea. It was so busy!
How I Tiled our Bathroom Floor – A Floor Tiling Tutorial
Last year we carried out our bathroom renovation. Our old bath tub was steel, had started to rust and no matter what I cleaned it with, it always looked dirty. In an ideal world we would have just changed the tub, but it had a tiled bath panel. This meant when we ripped the tubRead More
Weekend Wanders – Oakworth and Haworth
During the Christmas break it was lovely to have a bit of free time. One of my favourite things to do is get out walking, whatever the weather (unless it’s really horrible and wet). I had a fancy for a trip to Haworth, as it’s a beautiful characterful village. I also knew that there isRead More
My Goals for the House in 2020
I’m a little late in writing out this post – sorry! We’ve had the most perfect Christmas and New Year followed by a few days of holidays, and I’ve really tried to embrace being away from technology and spending time with my family. It’s been amazing. I can’t say I feel especially refreshed, but IRead More
Using Pantone Classic Blue in Period Homes
I’m not usually one for following trends or fashions when it comes to interiors. My style is pretty neutral, classic but eclectic and works for me. Every year however, the colour people Pantone release their Colour of the Year. For 2020, the Pantone Colour of the Year was announced as PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue. AccordingRead More
Super Easy Christmas Mantelpiece Garland
One of the things I’m really grateful for in our house is the beautiful fireplace. Every year at Christmas I like to decorate the fireplace with a garland. I usually use fresh foliage, but this always ends up crispy and dry after about a day and a half as we use our fire. This year,Read More
Plastic-Free Christmas Wreath Tutorial
Another week, another wreath! This weekend we started to decorate the house for Christmas. I say we – Mr R helped me move the bookcase then went out to buy a part for the car, and Holly helped put the baubles on the tree the decided to do some crafts. With glitter. Eugh. I putRead More
