We tried a new thing!

It never happens!

‘Can you spend 15 minutes sorting your room/that box/old clothes/filing/admin…’

The rest of the housework gets done but anything extra seems to slip way down the priority list. It falls way beneath chatting, random guitar playing, singing, making stuff and generally doing anything but sorting.

So, last night I proclaimed that everyday we would all spend 15 minutes at the same time, doing a thing in the house that wouldn’t usually get done.

The pile of jumble at the end of our bed is gone, the children’s clothes are in the very easy open storage that I bought them so they could easily tidy up, the ‘box of stuff’ is nearly empty.

The mixture of body doubling, accountability and urgency meant that four people doing 15 minutes each got an hours worth of work done.

I’m hoping we can keep it up but that’s the next challenge!
What would you do in your 15 minutes?

What about this for downstairs loo!

People often fall in love with a wallpaper but have no idea where it will fit into their home. It often ends up in the downstairs loo!

This is such an amazing transformation. It’s warm and cosy and now fits with the wonderful decor in the rest of the house 😀 The accessories are perfect 👌

Now booking for March/April so please get in touch if you like to chat about what your decorating needs are.

I love colour!

Working on this hallway was fabulous. The walls had already been painted and the woodwork had been stripped.

I swooped in at the end and stole all the credit!

Tbf the woodwork still needed properly sanding back, the flakey door frames paint needed the paint peeled off and then sealed and sanded.

Then on went the orange, green and black.

Oh yes 🙌

Now booking for March so get in touch if you’d like a chat.

I love this room ❤️ I have discovered lemon and lime jaffa cakes, been treated to cake and great company.

I also got to try something I’ve been wanting to do for ages 🙌 This customer had some amazing curtains and had looked at testers including a fantastic dark green. We thought the green was too dark for an entire wall but I suggested maybe we just use it for the reveals (the bits around the window).

It really elevates the room and makes a great design feature.

You’ll all want them now 😉

Now booking for 2027 so get in touch if you’d like to get booked in 😀

This room was a joy from start to finish 😊

It started a few months ago with a three hour declutter session with the customer. This art room had a wide-ranging collection of materials and it took every ounce of willpower not to start creating (for both of us 😂)!

We then put a date in the diary for decorating which gave the customer a hard deadline to get the rest of it sorted.

When I arrived for decorating the room was empty and the plan for a functional art room and reading nook was about to be taken to the next stage.

I repaired some loose wallpaper, removed the massive wedges of silicon from skirting board, stain blocked the dark varnished window frame, repaired some cracks in the ceiling and finally the room was ready to paint!

It’s all in the prep.

The painting is the most satisfying bit but only if the prep is good.

Now booking for 2027 so get in touch if you’d like me to come and have a look at your decorating needs.
