At last, I can officially share some exciting news! Jules Yap, founder of the highly successful website IkeaHackers.net, has published a book of 25 biggest & best Ikea Hacks & my Ikea Hack Cabin bed with secret den is featured!

Summer is here and so are the latest HomeSense summer design trends. The good news is, with 5 key trends to choose from, there’s a look to suit every home and every budget. Which of them will awaken the inner interior designer in you?

I first shared our step-by-step guide to building an Ikea Hack children’s cabin bed and secret den for Youngest back in 2016. Yet, more than a year later, it’s still my most popular post. This week her ‘before’ and ‘after’ bedroom transformation is featured on the successful US lifestyle and interiors website, Apartment Therapy.

One look in my wardrobe and you’ll realise I’m a huge fan of White Stuff. The good news is. we have a fabulous store in Nottingham, complete with tea & biscuits, comfy armchairs & a cinema room! So, when I heard Whitestuff had launched a brand new homeware range, it gave me the perfect excuse for a cheeky little visit to my favourite store!

When I go to bed, I need my curtains and blinds to shut out the light, I share my ideas on how to achieve the perfect environment for a good night’s sleep.

I’m a child of the ’70’s! I love the ‘Retro’ revival we’ve been had in recent years. Have a look at some of the retro touches I’ve added to my own home.

I share my guest bedroom makeover plans & tell you why we’re ditching our kingsize bed in favour of a multipurpose room with various sleeping options.

Whilst continuing my quest for artwork for the blank wall in our living room, I discovered Original Art Under £100, where you can buy original, signed art without breaking the bank.

Penny Alexander thinks ‘My Home Rocks’! It’s featured on her ‘A Residence’ blog, which she writes for the online furniture and home retailer, Wayfair.

It’s the first summer since completing our extension. The folding doors & Velux windows bathe it with light, but it’s time to control the light with blinds!

I’m away on holiday this week but I’ve rummaged through the Maflingo archives to bring you a selection of my favourite DIY and home makeover posts.

We’ve added some finishing touches to our Children’s Ikea Hack bedroom makeover with this set of 3 white cube shelves from B & Q above our DIY desk.
