Just over a month ago we began decorating our downstairs WC, we wanted it to compliment the master bathroom which we revamped last year. The moodboard for the room, incase you didn’t catch the previous blog post was neutral with some copper, industrial touches. The first thing we did was paint the previously dark walls in Dry Barley by Paint by Conran (the same colour … Continue reading Downstairs Loo – The Reveal
10 months ago (I know, I know times flies) I posted that we’d started a little revamp of our master bedroom, inspired by our tropical dining room set at the Ideal Home show in Manchester…I am very happy to tell you that we’ve FINALLY completed it. What can I say? Life, Work, Travel, Love all get in the way sometimes and I’m completely fine with … Continue reading A Tropical Master Bedroom Makeover
This week we will be packing up the car and heading down to the London Excel to build a room for the epic Grand Designs Live show which runs from the 5th to the 13th of May. I’m SO excited for this and wish I could have told you guys sooner. I’m sure you are aware of the Grand Designs brand, we all love a … Continue reading What are we doing heading down to Grand Designs Live?
As many of you know we updated our family bathroom last year from an Art Deco influenced space to a relaxing rustic one. Ever since then I have been desperate to start on the downstairs loo to make both spaces a little more in keeping with one another and last weekend we got started (what else do you do when all it does is rain … Continue reading Downstairs loo – Mini Makeover
That’s it…I’m officially hibernating until spring begins (I don’t actually think my toes have been warm since before Christmas)! This time of year makes me want copious amounts of tea and some really good reads, so I’ve decided to share what I’ve been reading and what’s next on my list. I picked up a copy of Warehouse Home back in September when I visited the … Continue reading A reading list to get us through to spring
Twelfth night has been and gone so everyone should have taken their decorations down and be left with a bare house and a full recycling bin, am I right!? Since the basis behind the LMH blog is to be more sustainable within our homes and our lifestyles I wanted to share some tips on recycling christmas a little bit more creatively than just sending it … Continue reading Recycling Christmas
At the beginning of November (feels like years ago doesn’t it?), I posted the inspiration for our mini bathroom makeover and I’m so pleased to say that it’s finally finished. We had a couple of delays and there are still a couple of finishing touches I’d like to add but I’m so happy with the end results…it really does amaze me how with the right products … Continue reading Bathroom Makeover Reveal
So I have to be honest, currently the only pumpkin that has been pimped here at LMH is the one my two year old painted black at the kitchen table last week. It’s really cute and will look lovely filled with treats on the doorstep Tuesday evening for all of the little witches and ghosts. So if you’re last minute with the pimping of the … Continue reading Pumpkin Pimpin’ Inspo
I’ve often thought if upcycling was a part of the Design Technology class at my old school  I’d have found my passion much sooner and learnt the skills needed to create all of the projects in my head without the help of YouTube (Ok maybe without as much help from YouTube). I know Jasper isn’t even two yet but I try and involve him in … Continue reading Upcycling for Kids with Lynne Lambourne
I (along with many of you guys) love changing things up in my home pretty regularly and I (also along with many of you guys) don’t have the magic money tree that is so often spoken about these days so need to be resourceful when changing things up. Our little boys bedroom has stayed pretty neutral on the walls since we decorated the room before … Continue reading Create a mini gallery wall in an afternoon
