Earlier this month I was invited to chat to Nuie Bathrooms (https://www.nuiebathrooms.com) about how AI may be used in interior design. We discussed what I love, what improvements could be made and what other design tools are currently available to consumers. Like all new technology there are pros and cons to using AI, I certainly look forward to seeing what improvements will be made in 2024. Obviously I’m biased, but my biggest takeaway, having spent time...

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that we've spent the last three months working on our garden makeover.  I thought it was time to write the first of my Garden Makeover posts.  In this one I share the landscaping work we undertook, planting and some of the key pieces we introduced to the space to create various zones within the garden. Key Features of the design scheme Creating a walled courtyard garden with both patio and loose gravel areas. Using sustainable and natural materials where possible, including vintage pieces and...

I don't know about you but I'm counting down to 29th March, when all being well we will be able to socialise in gardens.  The foray into socialising when we've been unable to see family and friends for almost a year is taking up so much head space right now.  I've been pinning ideas for al fresco dining (I'm thinking pizzas, burgers, jacket potatoes, chilli, anything really that can be prepped and served in the garden to warm guests if we're not blessed with a sunny April.  One pot dishes...

Welcome, here I continue to share the renovation of our barn conversion.  We completed the conversion of our new home back in September 2019.  We were then struck by the global pandemic in March of 2021 with lockdown I had time to consider what other changes we may be able to make to improve the effeciency of our home and use the available space to it's best advantage.  Queue garage to utility room conversion, whilst I challenged myself to make as many eco friendly choices as possible throughout this project,...

As a follow up to my last blog "Anna's Attic Indie Christmas A-Z" I wanted to share some fab indie sources for beautiful Christmas decorations.  The supermarkets are flooded with mass produced decorations at the moment, let's give them a swerve and support small instead.  I've chosen five business to showcase here but there are many more out there at varying price points, there really is something for everyone.   Personally I've never been a fan of colour theming my Christmas tree, I admire the ones I see on Insta and Pinterest...

What strange times we find ourselves in, in the UK we're about to enter the second week of Lockdown 2.  As a small business myself I've been thinking about what I could do to help other small businesses. Many bricks and mortar shops have had to close their doors again and whilst many are adapting this time, increasing their online offering and offering services like click and collect these are still testing times.  As many find ourselves under financial pressure, choosing where to spend our money could not be more important. Since...

Welcome, here I continue to share the renovation of our barn conversion.  I'd intended to start blogging about our renovation sooner but things have been so busy here I'm playing catch up, I hope you enjoy what I share of our renovation journey and find some inspiration along the way. 2 years ago we moved into our barn conversion mews, which was previously owned by an elderly lady, we had our hands full, pastel carpets, floral window dressings, dark beams, ancient radiators and poor lighting being some of the obstacles.  Having...
