Tiny Kitchen Gets a Renter-Friendly Makeover After Photo

A Renter-Friendly Kitchen Makeover

April 20, 2018

This post is dedicated to my fellow renters out there. I see you, living with poor design choices that you didn’t make, and can’t change without risking your security deposit. You stare at perfect homes on pinterest, and dream of customising your own house one day. Well maybe you don’t, but I certainly do. I … More A Renter-Friendly Kitchen Makeover

Out of all the rooms in our house, the bedroom has been the biggest pain to decorate. I’ve faffed around in here for 2.5 years, and it just might be finished now! In my post last week, I shared how I chose that lovely canvas print from Photowall, and this week is all about the … More New & Improved Bedroom Tour

New Artwork For the Bedroom

February 20, 2018

The bedroom got a few upgrades recently that I’m pretty excited about. We finally got around to buying a new mattress in December, and although it hasn’t changed the appearance of the room much, it’s made a huge difference as far as our sleep is concerned! The space above the bed was another area that … More New Artwork For the Bedroom

Meet The Inquisitive Co

June 28, 2017

I don’t know about you, but candles are a staple in our house. I like to keep air fresheners and nice-smelling things permanently on hand, and therefore I’m always on the lookout for quality candles that don’t cost a fortune. When I do come across one that ticks all the boxes (great scent, long lasting, … More Meet The Inquisitive Co

Treasures From Our Travels

June 1, 2017

I was asked recently what decorative piece in my home is my absolute favorite, and I thought “why not do a post about it?” My favorite thing is actually a collection of items bought on our travels –that counts as one right? I’m not really into shopping on vacation, and neither is Andrew. We travel for the experience rather than … More Treasures From Our Travels

After taking nearly a year off blogging, I’m back with a living room update and some future plans! Link in my bio ☝🏼
I enjoyed styling the coffee for a few photos, but it didn’t last long 🙈 Swipe for a dose of reality! ➡️
I’m loving this new framed print from @photowall_sweden & the difference it’s made in the living room! If you’d like to refresh your space with new art, use code clarimichele25 to claim 25% off any Photowall product 💚
Four months old and already such a little character 🤍
Really not looking forward to baby-proofing this room 🙈 Swipe to see how this room has come along ➡️ The ikea sofa I dyed black with @dylon_uk is still going strong 💪🏼
I’ve clocked a lot of hours in this chair over the past 3 months! Did you know these chair arms can balance a water bottle, cup of coffee, phone, book, burp cloth, and more? Not a bowl of cereal though - I learned that the hard way 😂
