BATHROOM PLANT UP

With spring teasing us every other day, we are desperate to get out and enjoy our newly planted garden. We've been busy moving plants, reshaping the lawn and creating new planting plans for the beds. For the grey days however, I've taken to introducing plants around the house. The bathroom in particular is a great place to add greenery. Plants will add a calming sense to the room as well as absorb the moisture in the air, meaning you don't need to remember to water them e

TIME FOR A REFRESH

So although we should be focussing all our efforts on decorating the nursery ready for our new arrival in July, my 'hormones' told me it was also important to have a sanctuary to relax in in the weeks leading up to the big day (or night). With this in mind, we opted for white. Clean, fresh and simple.
