If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll remember me telling you we needed to do something with the blank wall in our living room. Two years on and we can finally display our favourite photos, pictures and prints on a gallery wall, thanks to Ikea Mosslanda picture ledges.
When I first spotted Chris Baker’s incredible drawings at a convention, I thought they were photographs. Since then, I’ve watched his career go from strength to strength, along with his confidence.

I love green, so I was delighted when Pantone announced ‘Greenery’ as their Colour of the Year 2017. I offer some ideas on how to revamp a living space with green with a little bit of inspiration from Wayfair.

So when I showed her the wonderfully original Totoro portrait by Mike Matola, one of the artists on my ‘Wall art wish list’ for my blank living room wall, she loved it. So much so, she even dusted off her money box (Shock! Horror!), and put her money where her mouth is, asking me to order it from Mike’s Etsy store, LineByLinePosters.
