For 2024, I’m on a mission to finish the furnishing of our apartment. For the last year, we’ve enjoyed adding to our home here and there, rather than rushing it, And although Sam would say it doesn’t need anything else – it does. So in order for my home to look good, I thought I’d …
So our apartment has a communal garden and you’re probably thinking ‘Natalie, you have a garden‘ but I don’t. It’s shared and therefore it’s not actually mine. I can’t do any gardening (PAH – even if I wanted to) and I can’t make it my own or spend my time outside reading my book in …
DIY is, for the most part, a great idea when it comes to sprucing up your home. In fact, you can save a great deal of money by having a go at painting, tiling, and even building furniture and decorative pieces yourself. However, some tasks nearly always fair better when you get a professional involved, …
One thing that I’ve noticed in our kitchen is that it’s not as functional as we thought it would be. That being said, this is the first property that we own and as far as kitchens go, this one is by far the biggest. Having been in our property now for over a year, for …
It’s nice to have no rushed the process of furnishing our first home. As much as I would have loved to kit out our apartment entirely within the first month of living there, it wasn’t possible financially.

We’ve been in our apartment for just over a year now and I would say we’re about halfway there to fully decking it out with everything we need. We finally got some art up on the wall the other week and it’s now starting to look a look more like a home that’s lived in. …
After getting our first plants at a nearby garden centre (and even though I’ve killed one of them), I love that we have a bit of indoor nature in our home. It’s amazing how just a bit of greenery can help lift your mood and it’s totally true that it improves the atmosphere and just …
In today’s digital age, many children are spending more time indoors, often glued to screens, whether it’s watching TV, playing video games, or scrolling through tablets and smartphones. While technology has its place, it’s crucial not to forget the immeasurable benefits of outdoor play. From enhancing physical health to improving mental wellbeing, the outdoors offers …
We all want a better night’s sleep, right? I’m fortunate because I have yet to have children and I’m self-employed. What does that mean, you ask? Well, I can choose when I get up and when I go to bed. Essentially, I’m everything my younger self ever dreamed of being when 8pm-9pm was bedtime back …
