Creating a beautiful home without the champagne budget

I love to decorate for others. It opens the opportunity to be creative in a style that is maybe different from your own. My sister loves pastel colours and Cath Kidston prints and so when she asked me to help decorate her new home in the style of a light and airy modern cottage I …
When we first came to view our home it was love at first sight. The house was the perfect space for us and it had so much potential. The only thing that left us with doubt was the garden. The land sloped down behind the house which meant that privacy from neighbours was harder to …
