We have a shoe rack press thingy in our bedroom. The problem is that my husband wears a size 10 shoe whereas my little cindy feet are only a 4. As a result his shoes fit nice and neatly on the bars, while mine fall down the gaps and end up in a mess at the bottom of the cupboard!

Just because it’s white and cold outside, doesn’t mean you can’t be white and cosy inside. Get inspired by the whites of a winter wonderland and create a cosy haven with this selection winter accessories.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not a winter person so I always love to see the first crop of crocus and daffodils peeping up from the ground. They herald the start of longer days, (and fingers and toes crossed) are a prelude to a long hot summer! But spring is not just for outdoors. Why not lift your spirits and energise your home by introducing bright fresh colours into your interiors.
There are countless and imaginative ways to display candles in your home, from glass hurricanes to tea lights; tapers to lanterns. You can choose traditional candlestick holders or make your own using pieces of wood; tea cups; or even wine glasses. The only difficulty is deciding what to choose!
One of my favourite on-line stores in this country is Garrendenny Lane Interiors. They are undergoing something of a transformation in the New Year and as such ALL yes that’s right people ALL stock items are available at massively reduced rates.
One thing I always have in my home is scented candles. There is something about the scent of a candle that soothes the soul and fills your home with a warm inviting feeling.
The evenings may be closing in and autumn/winter is approaching (did it ever leave, I hear you ask). But dark dreary evenings doesn’t mean dark dreary interiors. Brighten up your home this autumn with these colourful ideas.
Never before have home owners been more conscious of the effects that their day-to-day decisions have on the environment. We recycle and reuse at every opportunity we get and when choosing ‘Green’ also means better value, a stunning new look within our home and long-term savings – then everyone’s a winner!
Every successful design project needs one vital component to make it work! Your own personality! Family photographs are a great way to bring your personality to your home. They add a real personal touch to a design scheme and are a great way to showcase special family events. I’m always looking for creative ways to display family photo’s in the home so I thought I’d share some of my favourite finds with you.
I’m working with a client at the moment who had an old radio an aunt of his had left him. It’s a beautiful piece and it was such a shame that it was just sitting in the attic gathering dust. I had an idea to bring this baby back to life!
I love it when I come across new and innovation products. AND when that product is 100% Irish it’s even better! Dotty Furniture is one such company. William O’Connor set up Dotty Furniture when he was made redundant from his job in September 2011.
NapPage phone cases from Etsy have a selection of cute decoupage phone cases available for the iPhone, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS AND the Blackberry.
One of my favourite online shops for home accessories and and unusual gifts is Cox and Cox Their new spring collection is out and my fingers are sore from clicking 
I want the lot!
When it comes to choosing which photo’s to display, I can be the most indecisive person on the planet. An arrangement I may like on Monday could be totally out of favour with me by Friday! Enter Picture Ledges. They give me the freedom to change and rearrange them as often as I like without having to punch more holes in my walls.
