Mid-century modern (MCM) is a design style that emerged in the mid-20th century and is characterized by its clean lines, simple shapes, and use of natural materials. Mid-century fabrics and wallpaper are an important part of this style, and they can be used to create a timeless and stylish look in any home. One of…

Before you start measuring your windows for curtain fabric you need to decide on a few things: Do you have a curtain pole or track already fitted? Will the curtains hang inside or outside the window frame? How long do you want the curtains to hang? Generally about 10cm (or 4”) below the window is…

OK so finally here I am posting pics of our kitchen remodel. It has been almost finished for a while but I wanted to get it properly sorted before I took photos. Then I had to wait until I had freshly cleaned it and the weather was nice and bright enough to get some decent…

You may already have seen these gorgeous photos on my social media but they are so amazing I think they are worth their own blogpost. Way back in August we had a message from a lovely lady Helene at Revival Vintage. (Click here to visit their website.) She was redoing her kitchen and was interested…

A few months back I received an email from a lady called Karen who was looking for some retro fabric to make into blinds. She had been pointed in my direction by a mutual friend of us both, and was keen to know if it would be possible to recolour one of my designs. She…

I’ve recently been playing around in my head with new product ideas, one of which is roller blinds which will be coming to my shop very soon. If you haven’t seen my recent Instagram and Facebook posts showing my colour tests have a look and I’d love it if you let me know what you…

I don’t often remember to mention the fact that I also sell lampshades made using my fabrics. The ones shown on my website all feature my first collection of dress fabrics and are all still available to buy but I have just made a few samples in my new interior weight fabrics. Since these fabrics…

Back at Easter time we decided to bite the bullet and redecorate our bathroom. The bathroom suite itself was fine but the paint had gotten a bit cracked and flaky and the tile grouting was grubby. Plus I’d never really been happy with the pale turquoise colour we’d painted it when it was first done…

Over a year ago I shared a photo on Instagram of a duvet cover I had made from my Senora fabric, As I was hanging it on the washing line at the weekend and marveling at how little it has faded in the year it’s been in use. I thought I’d share it again in…

Recently I was approached by an upholsterer from Suffolk, the beautiful next door county to my home county of Norfolk. She was interested in purchasing my Starlight fabric to reupholster a 1970s Gplan style chair. I watched her Instagram account in anticipation, and was completely blown away by the end result. Nicky very kindly sent…
