Furnishing Frenzy Goes Up A Gear

Furnishing Frenzy Goes Up A Gear

02/12/2020 by Geoff Harris

Funny how the rapidly approaching yuletide always brings out the sentimental side for some reason.  Normally we wouldn’t be seen out with any fluffy or cosy – life is for living, but at an adult and very mature way.  But when the winter comes and the christmas adverts start bearing down on us, we seem … [continue…]

Truly Professional Decorator – Such Joy

10/10/2020 by Geoff Harris

I’ve had the chance to have a proper professional decorator come and do my house out next year.  This chap lives abroad and usually comes back to Blighty every February/March to work on heritage houses.  Next year seems to be a bit thin on the ground for that kind of work.   It seemed an ideal … [continue…]

Socially Distanced Home Design Lessons

03/08/2020 by Geoff Harris

We all need a bit of a lift after some of the most difficult weeks and months of our lives.  Obviously there will still be many folk in their late 80s and 90s who lived through the second world war and current restrictions and public announcements bring back a whole new raft of memories.  Unlike … [continue…]

Turning That Eyesore Into An Installation Of Note

03/06/2020 by Geoff Harris

When you’re having to work with old buildings, bringing them up to date with certain heating and utility requirements can mean some disfigurement along the way.  Take an old loft installation – maybe someone has now bought the top part of an old house and needs to have a complete new HCVA air duct.  If … [continue…]

Swap Furnishings To Make Changing Rooms Work

01/04/2020 by Geoff Harris

Whilst everyone in the entire world is now looking at life insdoors, isolated from anyone not immediately within the household, it can be very challenging to try and keep control of tempers, bad behaviour and emotions.   One way is to get the family interested in getting the house straight, moving furniture about to a different … [continue…]

Sleek Feline Adds Oomph To Interior Design

03/02/2020 by Geoff Harris

I have often wondered whether folk really do choose their pets to enhance their own happiness or just to make their choice of home furnishings and decorating and interior design ideas stand out.   I know of at least two families just near here who have ‘invested’ in rather fancy breeds of cat and thinking about … [continue…]

Getting Those Furniture Items Matched Perfectly

05/01/2020 by Geoff Harris

When you’re looking at the subject of home interior decor, it can cover a range of possibilities.  Furniture itself can be classed as either soft or hard – for example a luscious all enveloping and squashy sofa is a piece of soft furniture and an essential one at that.  The matching armchairs are rather harder … [continue…]

Give Your Room A Properly Finished Look

10/12/2019 by Geoff Harris

When you feel the need for a change in your home style, it can be very tempting to rush out and do a blitz of all the huge out of town diy and decorating empriums.  Coming back with sample cards, paint colours and fabrics all look very exciting and there’s that general buzz of ‘let’s … [continue…]

Temporary Design Theme for Seasonal Change

04/11/2019 by Geoff Harris

It would be really lovely to have a change of decoration and furnishings every time Christmas and new year comes around – but of course unless we have the kind of salary that accommodates these whims, this is never going to happen.   But there are ways and means of having a new theme when these … [continue…]

Adverts With Smart Themes & Schemes

02/10/2019 by Geoff Harris

There are some truly awesome advertisements on tv these days.  Admittedly they’re less likely to be still keeping us in raptures in another forty years time as so many of the very old product ads still do.  Who can’t remember the lovely woman from a particular stock cube company who was only just married in … [continue…]

Even Easier Keeping Up With The Jones’s

02/09/2019 by Geoff Harris

I travel around to visit relatives and contacts all over the home counties – to some rather attractive and capacious houses that in the late ’70s and through to the ’90s, seemed distinctly modern and of their era.  We were greatly influenced then by up and coming entrepreneurs – the high flyers just beginning to … [continue…]

Style Update On Favourite Old Public Bar

16/08/2019 by Geoff Harris

I was eating out at a very country pub the other week.  I’ve been there before, several years apart,  with an ancient relative who only ever eats at top quality locations.  Non of the spit and sawdust style for her.  Any artisan activity has to be the most expensive.  This pub certainly fitted that criteria.  … [continue…]

Summer Introduces Storage Need Overload

01/07/2019 by Geoff Harris

This is definitely the time of year when we start thinking about more entertaining.  Lots of fok around for patio parties and bar-b-qs…….  that’s all very well but for the person who is responsible for keeping the house and garden in tip top visitor ready condition, it’s not so easy.  When  you have a busy … [continue…]

When Home On The Range Means Just That

03/06/2019 by Geoff Harris

When you get to realising you need that new cooker in your life, it can take a bit of organising to actually find the right model, and whether it will fit your kitchen and will there be any wiring or installation complications. . . .   I know this sounds trivial but the cooker is a … [continue…]

How A Doer Upper Is Viewed So Differently

03/05/2019 by Geoff Harris

Travelling abroad for a coule of weeks at a time is the most civilised way of viewing other countries, cultures and customs.  If you go for a much longer trip, there can be a tendency to overlook the finer details.  Take the way our cousins in the US do up their houses.  I was watching … [continue…]
