I couldn’t find any within my budget for the shelving. That’s not to say I won’t at some point though. But I think you’ll ..read more

This is a sponsored post. Anyone who lives in a neuro diverse home knows without a shadow of a doubt that doors get some tough love! And mine are no exception.

This post contains PR Products. If like me you live in an older home you will most likely have come across rotten wood. Windows, doors, frames, you name it!

This post contains affiliate links. As you may or may not know I have a very cunning plan, we shall name it Chris!! It involves changing out one of the sofas in the sitting room to a sofa bed. This is vital to my plans for the coming year as 3 out of our 4 bedrooms need work. But we don’t have a spare room to decamp into. Nor can we have guests to stay as there’s no where to put them. This has sent me down a right old rabbit hole. It seems that most sofa beds don’t truly function as either!! Neither a true sofa nor a comfortable bed. And so whilst I haven’t tried sitting or sleeping on any of ..read more
