Product Showcase – Made to Last Sofa Beds

June 6, 2018 by Catherine Leave a Comment

Made to Last Lode sofa bed

Are you planning any interiors projects at the moment?  It may be the busiest time of year gardening-wise, but we’re also about to start some pretty major indoor projects too, including a complete revamp of our family room.  At the moment it’s a glorified cupboard, but I have grand plans to transform it into a cosy den where the kids can do their music practice and chill out with their friends.  We’ll definitely need a sofa in there, and as we ...

Modern Scandinavian living: my top Wayfair picks

March 15, 2017 by Catherine 13 Comments

Looking for open plan living inspiration? Check out my top picks from Wayfair for creating the relaxed modern scandinavian look in your home.

Welcome to the second post in my collaboration with Wayfair.  I’m thrilled to be working with them this year as part of their Home Experts programme, and will be sharing lots of interiors inspiration over the next 12 months. I’ve already had lots of fun with my first challenge, looking at how to revamp your space with the pantone colour of the year, ‘Greenery’.  It’s such a vibrant, energising colour, and given my love affair with plants and all ...

February 3, 2017 by Catherine 11 Comments

Revamp your living space using Greenery, the Pantone colour of the year for 2017. Check out my top picks for bringing this versatile colour into your home.

What’s your favourite colour? That’s a question I get asked a lot at the moment; Lily is very into colouring right now, and seeks my opinion on pretty much a daily basis.  My answer is always green, followed by her current favourite in second place to keep her happy! I’ve always loved the colour green.  I suppose when I think about it, that’s probably a big part of why I love gardening and plants so much; it gives me a chance to submerge myself ...

Living Room Inspiration

August 24, 2016 by Catherine 6 Comments

I’m a complete sucker for dreaming about and planning my perfect home.  Since moving into our house, we’ve extended twice and decorated every single room at least once, and we’re by no means ‘finished’.  As the kids get older, we’ll carry on updating and rethinking our indoor space to suit the changing needs of the whole family. When it comes to interiors, I get my inspiration from magazines, online retailers and a good dose ...
