I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your own home or garden. Estimates available for anything you fancy having done, after an initial assessment. I will be happy to undertake projects for you as I do so love a transformation! I am as excited to undertake this work for someone else as I am for myself. We can have fun discussing ideas.
A transformed Cloakroom for which I undertook Project Management including liaison with builders for plumbing and carpentry, suppliers for sanitary fittings and the flooring company.
This project also included research for appropriate sanitary fittings, flooring, blind and paint colour etc on behalf of the client.
The preparation, painting and tiling was undertaken by myself.
I love this breakfast hatch but got fed up with muddy pet paw-prints on the originally white base. So I decided to add mosaic tiles… they ended up uneven as my rather large cat Max laid on them before the adhesive had set!
This was a little black table that was being thrown out as it was too plain. I added simple mosaics to the top and the bottom shelf, added a lamp and then taped the lamp lead and switch behind one of the legs so it was not too visible but still easy to access the switch.
This was an exciting three stage project for elderly people who really needed a helping hand with their spare room. It was a joy from start to finish as they are such wonderful people, including liaising with their lovely son and daughter-in-law.
It involved some substantial house doctoring first and then some decorating and a few DIY jobs to make the room beautiful, lighter, more cheerful and fully functioning. My clients are all now also dear friends.
The room was so cluttered at the start we could not even make our way across the room to open the blind, hence the dark photo!
One area above the bed had cork tiles to help prevent cold and damp from an exposed gable wall. I wallpapered over these in a heavy duty stippled wallpaper before painting.
We sorted all the items slowly, carefully, with love and patience. Some made their way to other rooms or outbuildings, others to the charity shop or the tip.
The room was then re-decorated with a cheerful yellow light-reflecting paint, the cork tiles wallpapered first, and the bed re-dressed in new linen and throw. The aerial cable for the TV was hidden underneath the main wardrobe, the cork-tile topped cupboard re-covered in white-faced hardboard, some beading adding to the ceiling, a doorstop added etc. A few more details to follow such as re-covering the headboard to the bed and fitting a new light shade.
Really felt joyful for the clients and me to transform this room!

A former office-chair which looked dull and boring. Covered with fabric in Art Deco style, with a back-support to help support the spine whilst sitting in it for long periods of time. This was fabric to match a re-upholstered Ottoman.
Complex embroidery of my beloved Max, now sadly passed away but captured forever set amongst flowers. Picture frame sprayed to pick up the mauve elements in the picture.
Transformed with just two large tester pots of masonry paint in a lively blue, so minimal cost and maximum impact. Very cheerful to come home to.
A lovely set of patio furniture that had started to rust and looked pretty awful. Wire-brushed, Hammerite black paint applied, metallic acrylic paints applied for grape bunches and leaves on chairs – surrounds of table still to be finished, won’t be long now till its complete. Waaaay cheaper than chucking the old and buying a new set!
