Fabulous Accessible Interiors
As you might know from earlier posts, my husband, Mr Wheel Chic Home (aka Mr Wobblelegs) has Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. This year is the 10th anniversary of our wedding, and not long after, the 10th anniversary of his MS diagnosis. It's been three years since I started the blog so I thought I'd share [...]
Regular readers to this blog will know that our bungalow didn't have level garden access and eventually this prevented Mr Wheel Chic Home from getting out into the garden. We tried a metal temporary ramp, we tried bits of wood but in the end it became clear we needed to bite the bullet and get [...]
That's an odd title isn't it? How can you find accessible interiors inspiration from inaccessible places? Fact is, I think you can get interiors and accessible design from anywhere and everywhere. Just because a space isn't technically accessible, it can still give you some ideas for how you might be able to adapt it to [...]
Finding the perfect holiday home for your trip can be tricky. Hours of research, you look at reviews and maps and Google Street View, available dates and price.

We started to think about adjustments after his diagnosis, but he was still walking without an aid at that time [...]
It's odd isn't it, how I can add the word 'fabulous' next to 'wheelchair' in the title, as when you think of a wheelchair ramp you think of something pretty dull. Mr Wheel Chic Home has recently spent a little more time in the wheelchair than usual due to a number of falls needing stitches [...]
Having spent the large part of the last two weeks helping my mother in law move house after 45 years in her last home it got me thinking. As I had the time to spare I've been helping her sort out before the move and get unpacked after the move, it made me think about [...]
We were recently invited to a BBQ and for most people you look up the date, see if it's free, collect the beer and head off to hang out with friends. For us, it's a little more difficult. We have to make sure the house is accessible for Mr Wheel Chic Home, otherwise we would [...]
