Fabulous Accessible Interiors
I know there's been probably hundreds of blog posts out there with tips on how to survive lockdown, social distancing or shielding in the current Corona Virus crisis. I'm probably not going to tell you anything you don't know, but I want to share a couple of the things I've already done in the house [...]
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 of this blog will know that I've done a few little things here and there to make our bungalow accessible and safe for Mr Wheel Chic Home, but the primary area of the house that's still unaccessible is the garden. We've managed the past five years to get Mr WCH into the garden [...]
Those of you who follow me on Instagram (if you don’t, why not?!) might have seen my stories about our recent decorating exploits and I had a lot of lovely comments from some of you regarding the humour in them. And it got me thinking… How do you decorate with a disability? I thought I’d [...]

As you may have seen from my Instagram stories recently, I'm refurbishing the kitchen on a limited budget at the moment. We all know kitchens and bathroooms are the most expensive rooms in the home and also the most disruptive when we want to make them over. But there are ways to make even these [...]
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 live in a three bedroom bungalow and we love it, but unfortunately the bedrooms are a little small. The previous owner had split the long living room into smallish bedrooms which we use as our spare rooms. It doesn't bother us too much as they are spare rooms, not used all that often. The [...]
I'm a fan of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint as you will know from some of my earlier posts. I've used it very recently to makeover my TV cabinet, chests of drawers, and even beams and bannisters in my friend's cottage. It's such a versatile paint and I've used it for some other things, including dying [...]
