Thrifty Stylish Home: August 2009
http://thriftystylishhome.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 August 2009. Cushions - and a resolution. As I've said before I'm not great at DIY (and neither is the boy) and so I love the fact that it can be so easy to update a room quickly and cheaply by adding some new cushions and other accessories. I think that my favourite cushions are these Designer’s Guild style ones that adorn our Barcelona chair. And just visible in the corner here is my cushion with russian dolls - it adds some fun to our sofa. Here are the summer palace fabric cushions. For th...

Thrifty Stylish Home: January 2010
http://thriftystylishhome.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 January 2010. In a few minutes of rare decisiveness I've just ordered some wallpaper and curtains in the Laura Ashley sale for our new bedroom (the old studio). I've loved the Heligan pattern for ages, and actually thought about using it in the back bedroom (new studio)and brought a sample home. I decided against it, but took it around to a friend's house thinking it would look great in her guest room, and it does! All promising progress though! Posted by Thrifty Stylish Home. Realistically I ...

Thrifty Stylish Home: To do list, post 3 - the kitchen
http://thriftystylishhome.blogspot.com/2009/08/to-do-list-post-3-kitchen.html
Tuesday, 25 August 2009. To do list, post 3 - the kitchen. Sadly we can’t justify getting a new kitchen, but I would like to get the cupboards painted. I hate this dated pine look, and instead would like a shabby chic distressed white finished. I’d also like a new work surface. This kitchen has been here since the our home was built, about 10 years ago. Here's the far corner of the kitchen, as you're looking from the door. The view out of the kitchen window to our little garden. Paint the walls pink.

Thrifty Stylish Home: December 2009
http://thriftystylishhome.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 December 2009. A belated Merry Christmas! We've been having a lovely Christmas break and, counting weekends too, I've got 17 days away from the office. Brilliant, eh? We had a London Christmas this year, with my Mum coming up from Dorset to stay with us. On Christmas day itself we went around to some good friends who conveninently live about 2 minutes away, and ate with them. So, Christmas without having to cook - even better! Our Christmas dining room table -. Posted by Thrifty Stylish Home.

Wednesday, 30 September 2009. It's at the front of the house so get more sun than the back;. It's cosier and would suit some fantastic wallpaper I've seen (Osborne and Little Foxglove! We could fit a double bed, a double or quadruple wardrobe and maybe even a little mini dressing table area;. The boy would feel so guilty about snagging the biggest room that he has agreed another wardrobe could remain in the new studio space;. The wallpaper I like -. Posted by Thrifty Stylish Home.

Thrifty Stylish Home: An attempted return to the blogging!
http://thriftystylishhome.blogspot.com/2010/05/attempted-return-to-blogging.html
Friday, 21 May 2010. An attempted return to the blogging! Books and cats – both inspiring in their own way! Here's Millie, in the studio, sitting on the printer! More pics of the studio to follow soon, as we've just had a little move around in there). And here are 3 of the 5 books I enjoyed on holiday! I wasn't so keen on the new Maggie O'Farrell (not pictured), which I also read (though I adore After You'd Gone. And The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox. But I loved One Day.

Thrifty Stylish Home: February 2010
http://thriftystylishhome.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 7 February 2010. A floor lamp needed. Meant to say in previous post, what we are still missing is some sort of lamp so that we can read in bed. I quite like the idea of something quite modern, to contrast with the more traditional wallpaper. What I'd really love is an anglepoise lamp, but sadly the budget won't stretch to that. I was looking online and saw this one from B&Q. What do you think? And sorry, you'll have to squint, because I can't seem to get the images any bigger! Labels: B and Q.
