Recently I finally found the time to stick up some blackboard wallpaper that I bought nearly a year ago, and has been rolled up ever since! My husband was away two days and nights, so I hung it in that time. It looks just like I imagined it would, which is pretty cool. Here it…
So after the Brexit blues of my last post it has been a month since I have blogged. It has been a month of highs and lows. I went to New York with my daughter, that was a big high. – I will do a whole blog post on that, and maybe on the Americans…

I mentioned in a previous post, that once my daughter moves out, we might move too. My rent is way too high, and although I love where we live, it is over my budget now. So we either move or let out the spare room. It is really difficult to find a new apartment here,…

I cannot believe that I have lived near Frankfurt for almost 4 years now and never been in this fantastic interiors store I finally entered today. Kontrast is a furniture and lighting store in an old warehouse building, and it is brimming with super designs and items. I thought I was in heaven. The lamps…
So now the kitchen is sorted, it is time to plan the space we refer to as the bathroom, but really is just big enough for a shower, sink and toilet. The part where the sink and toilet will be is just 95cm wide and around 2 metres in length. The shower will go in…
Well the last week has been busy in our search for a kitchen. Saturday we went to the building exhibition, which was small to say the least. However there were 3 kitchen companies there. One was staffed by the scariest looking woman I have seen in a long time. Mutton dressed up as lamb is…
