Last year a friend of gave me a gift of a Santa Sack which I use to keep all my Christmas wrapping paper and tags. But when it came to all the other occasions throughout the year, I had a jumbled mess of wrapping paper, gift cards and tags. So I finally got around to making a dedicated Gift Wrapping Station. And when I say I ……. I mean I ….. Me ….. all by myself !!
I missed a call on my mobile on Friday 23rd December. The lady calling left me a lovely voice mail seeking my help in sourcing a red berry Christmas Wreath. As I listened to the message instead of saving it, I somehow managed to delete the entire message!!

Sorry folks, I know it’s been a bit quiet around here for the last week or so, but I’ve been very busy with a brand new client. It’s a lovely project and I’m really quite excited about it.
My apologies if you had problems accessing the site yesterday, I had a very stressful day of computer glitches and down times! However it was worth it in the end as I upgraded and changed the layout of my blog.
This week HM Queen Elizabeth II visited Ireland, the first time an English monarch has visited Ireland in 100 years.

A hall can be a difficult space to get right. They’re often quite narrow and have only one light source so choosing the right colour and furnishings is very important. It needs to be light and bright but also practical and durable. And it’s a high traffic area so flooring is a major consideration. Cream carpets and children’s muddy wellies are never a great mix! And of course storage is paramount so it doesn’t become a dumping ground. Big ask for a small space!

Hello and welcome to my Blog
My name is Karen Hughes and I'm an Interior Designer from Dublin, Ireland. I’m passionate about design and I started this blog as a way to connect with others just as passionate as myself. I tend to ramble on about all sorts of things, projects I’m working on, people, places and things that inspire me (and some that don’t). So put the kettle on, get comfy and settle in. I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to say hello. Visit my website to find out more about my services and view my work.
