Fabulous disabled friendly interiors
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 [...]
We've all done it haven't we? We've all had a great decorating idea and after we've finished, (or even halfway through doing it) we've stood back and held our head in our hands because it doesn't look how you thought it would. Many people stick to neutrals for this reason, they don't want to make [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I wanted to share my recent experience of how I staged and styled a client's home for under £25 (yes, really!) to get the best from those all important estate agent photos that will be plastered on the interweb for ever more. I'm not saying I'm an expert on this, nor do I profess to [...]
Regular readers to my blog will know that I'm a big fan of Annie Sloan paint. I've used it on bannisters and ceiling beams, bedroom furniture, my TV Cabinet and I've even painted my lampshade (more to come on that in another post). This time I decided to take my paint outside and brighten up the [...]
Finally! My living room is all but finished and I'd like to share some images and the story with you. I'll put together separate posts on the upcycling projects I did for the living room in due course but wanted to give you the view of it now and I'm thrilled with it! This has [...]
With the living room makeover finally in full force I was looking for a side table to go down the side of the sofa on Mr Wheel Chic Home's side. There's not a lot of room there and so a narrow table with somewhere to store the laptop and magazines was something I started hunting [...]
It's been a challenge for me, redecorating the living room. We've lived with the current set up that we inherited (3 white walls, 1 charcoal, nasty beige carpet) for 2.5 years and it's time for a change. I've always had an interest and passion for decorating and interior styling, but this is the first room [...]
