A very happy Saint Patrick’s Day to my blog friends all over the world.
Today is Valentines Day but romance is not just for couples. Spell out your love for your home and bring some romantic cheer to your interiors.
45,000 incredible supporters followed Ireland to Poland for the 2012 Euro’s and they were a credit to their nation. They travelled by planes, trains, and camper van and they transformed the Polish city of Poznan into a sea of green.
Hi folks, I’d really appreciate it if you would take the time to nominate me for the upcoming Blog Awards Ireland 2012. The Blog Awards Ireland will bring together the Irish online community collaborating in a single event in October to celebrate blogging in Ireland. The Awards will offer businesses an opportunity to increase their visibility and prominence in social media circles. With more people being guided in their buying decisions by bloggers rather than friends opinions, blogging is a considerably influential tool in word of mouth marketing.
It’s June so that can only mean one thing in Dublin…… Bloom is back! This is the 5th year of the event and it just keeps getting better and better. There were some incredible and creative gardens on show and the talent and imagination of the garden designers never ceases to amaze me.
As a young child in the Hughes household, St Patrick’s day meant we could break our Lenten vows and eat as many sweets as we could consume. The highlight of the day was a trip into town to see the parade and my brother and I would fight over who got to sit on my dads shoulders so we could see what was going on.
Friday 25th March is Daffodil Day. Daffodil Day is a day for all of us to come together to show support and give hope to people affected by cancer throughout Ireland.
Don’t miss the Ideal Home Show in the RDS this weekend. With the banks queuing up to lend us money……NOT! few of us are in a position to buy our “dream home”. So the theme this year is “Don’t Move, Improve!” As usual there’s a fantastic selection of exhibitors showing how to turn our homes into the bright stylish comfortable living spaces we yearn.
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.Tweet Tweet
