Welcome and Happy New Year, I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas.  This is my first blog of 2020 and I'm here to talk about creating a super cosy bedroom for the winter months.  We've been pretty lucky where I am in Lincolnshire so far on the weather front, but if last February is anything to go by the worst is yet to come. In my last post, which you can read here I shared our master bedroom renovation, having a beautiful bedroom to enjoy during the lazy mornings which go...

I've long been a huge fan of using vintage items in my own home, the reasons are many, older pieces add character as well as interest to a scheme and work well in both traditional and modern surroundings.  Mostly though I love that they give us a connection to the past and that I can almost always recall where I have bought them, often recalling conversations I've had with people I've bought pieces from to learn an item's history.   Some of my vintage treasures used in my home When I launched my online...

I'm thrilled to bring you the scoop on Siobhan Murphy aka @interiorcurve's  new abode, the Art Deco house of dreams, Chatelaine, which she shares with husband Nick and Benji the Ragdoll cat.  The image above of Chatelaine was commissioned by Siobhan by Karina Mansfield. So Siobhan, you and husband Nick moved to Chatelaine from a very modest 1970's semi, what prompted the move?  Was it love at first sight? I have always loved this house, even as a young girl I can remember going past in the car and wondering who lived...
