Utility room 23 Aug 2013 | 09:11 pm
Talk about giving a dog a bad name! No not the cute one in the picture – the one in question is a room. A utility room. Confused? Out of all the rooms in the house, which is the one that gets overlook...
A lovely little dressing area 20 Aug 2013 | 01:00 pm

A luxurious bedroom 13 Aug 2013 | 01:00 pm

I love this very grand, timber-framed, Georgian-style conservatory. It’s probably bigger than my entire garden, however there are nice details I could copy. I like the fan window, which makes an inter...

As soon as the sun comes out, I grab my book and my sunhat, dig my old deckchair out of the shed and head for the garden. There’s nothing I enjoy more than sitting in the sunshine reading. But my de...
