So last week our house tour on Apartment Therapy went Live.
By far my favourite blog about house stuff, Apartment Therapy gets a whopping 11 million users a month all obsessed (like me) with reading their inspired features on new design. Plus a whole load of perfectly normal folk who enjoy whiling away the hours snooping around cool home interiors across the US and UK.
And now, shining like a bag of jelly babies in Heals is our little ex-council house. And seeing it up there is the nicest feeling in the world. It’s also some kind of vindication I suppose for the many hours I stalked pinterest collecting and discarding ideas for each and every corner of our newly rennovated home.
When the piece went Live last week I braced myself for trolls. Or, at the very least pixie-minded munchkins accusing me of clowning about with colour, or cluttering the life out of what was obviously the size of an extended 1920s rabbit hutch.
But they liked it, they really liked it (as you can see this also brought out all manner of my inner Sally Fields!)
So if you want to snoop around our pastel-hued home, made almost entirely of second hand junk….have a click on the picture. It cannot possibly be to everyone’s tastes but the important thing is – we don’t just like it, we love living here.
Now, with the house complete (pretty much)… I want to do it all over again – so if anyone has a house in need of a ‘me’. Just let me know!
I am in love with your house!! I saw it on apartment therapy! You did an absolutely fantastic job, it made me so smiley just looking at all the pictures!!!
Thanks so much. I was so happy to see the reaction, I even had someone ask me what my rate was for interior design. Me? Then again…maybe I will. x
Go for it! You definitely have an eye for it!!
And thanks for the comment!!

Just seen your lovely house on Apartment Therapy. Can I ask who built the island in the kitchen?
Hi a mate who does carpentry and other handy stuff built it for me. He’s based in Surrey but if you want his contact I can email it to you. And that’s for kind words!
Thank you for your reply, I only just remembered to check if had replied. We are in Surrey so his contact details would be great. Thanks.
