Answering the heaving hitting questions for you on this fine Sunday... how do I make money? Lot's of you were interested in knowing how it works so here you go! Any further questions you have, do pop them below. I'm super happy to share. Have a lovely weekend! x

Your home and your wardrobe have more in common than you’d think! After having a baby, I’d open my wardrobe and feel like none of it was mine anymore. So I did what my clients do when their home stops working for them and called in someone who knows better than me. Enter - the most stylish person I know.

Everything out, three piles, no mercy. Now I’ve got a proper capsule that suits the life I’m actually living. Same rule I’d give you for your home, really.

Would you let someone loose on your wardrobe? Or your house? x

Hang Ups, episode 2 - and I might get home hate for this one, but I stand by it!

Short curtains. The ones that stop at the windowsill, or worse, hover somewhere awkwardly above the radiator like they’ve been through a hot wash. I loathe them. They make your windows look smaller, your ceilings lower and your room look a bit unfinished, like the curtains gave up halfway down.

My rule is simple. Curtains go to the floor, or just kiss it. If floor length genuinely won’t work in your space, give yourself a stern talking to and get a blind instead!

Now I know some of you are sat there with a radiator under the window shouting at your phone, so let’s have it out. Team short curtain or team floor length? Tell me in the comments, I’m ready x

Pretty Practical Purchases - the little stool that works MUCH harder than it looks!

A footstool with a pleated skirt? Yes please. This one from is small enough to tuck under a console or dressing table, then gets dragged out as an extra seat when everyone descends at Christmas. It's also a great footstool as well as toy storage saviour.

Small pieces like this are the perfect place to have a bit of fun with fabric too especially if you're a bit scared of pattern.

Where would you put it? Hallway, bedroom or living room? Tell me in the comments. Linked in my bio/stories x

A few recent highlights as summer comes to an end. I’m pretty delighted about it! Anyone else super excited for the cosy months and lots of layers?

Your design dilemmas, my solution! Huge thanks to Cheryl for submitting her sitting room. It's painted in the most fabulous colour by (Treron) but she feels it's not quite right in the summer.

Hopefully my suggestions will help pull the space together across all the seasons.

If you want to submit your dilemma, the link is on my stories and will be saved in the highlights. I'd love to hear what you'd have done in the comments! x

Welcome to Hang Ups! My new series covering all your window treatment questions. From blinds to curtains to shutters - I'll give you my opinions and solutions for such a tricky subject. Buckle up! Fire some of your curtain questions in the comments. x

And of course by shutters I mean plantation shutters, the new ones people add to their windows, not the beautiful built in shutters on period homes!

Future-proof your renovation for kids. Planning how your home will function for children saves you from redoing it later. Three things to build in from the start:

1. A proper home for the pushchair
2. Space for baby plates, cutlery and cups, from weaning onwards
3. No open storage at toddler level!

Get these right and your home grows with your family. Save this for your renovation!

Home storage: 3 storage spots to get right. Good storage isn't always about having more space, it's about planning the areas you use every day, so everything has a home and stays there.

1. Coats and hats
2. Linens and bedding
3. The ironing board, hoover and other bulky bits

Plan for these early and the rest of the house stays much tidier.

Which of these is the biggest struggle in your home? Let me know in the comments and save for your future renovation.
