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…]

Enter The Fresh Lemon & Lime Hues

14/04/2019 by Geoff Harris

We generally think of spring time as optimum for decorating and generally making changes to the happy household.   Naturally the sunlight streaming in does show the marks and grubbiness that may have collected during those duller months since those happy summer holidays.   In the winter we tend to work, eat, congregate round the tv for … [continue…]

Warming The Walls With Sunnier Hues

04/03/2019 by Geoff Harris

Knowing that spring is very much on its way, I was discussing the merits of various decorating options with a pal of mine.  Now she has a much larger house than mine and each of her main reception rooms are square and generally light filled.   My rather bizarre brain doesn’t work with the same logic … [continue…]

A Change Of Decor Can Be Truly Refreshing

04/02/2019 by Geoff Harris

You can always tell when Christmas is over and the New Year has finally tiptoed away . . .  the television advertisers go absolutely mad with one brand after another with their suggestions for d.i.y projects to be completed or started afresh.  Then we have the new bed brigade.  Nowadays they seem to come complete … [continue…]

Sea Change In Decor Colours Coming Up

04/01/2019 by Geoff Harris

Colour themes come and go – every few years something really exciting will take over the decorating world big time.  Such as a few years ago, the grey/black/grey/red theme seeped through every single magazine and home decor article.  We couldn’t see anyone’s house on the daytime tv leisure channels without being treated to views of … [continue…]

Woodland Decor Suits Country House Style

02/12/2018 by Geoff Harris

I have been staying right out in the country – my word, now I know where the phrase ‘out in the sticks’ comes from.  This house is surrounded by woods and as much as I love trees, it is a bit weird in the evening watching the shadows of the branches leaping across the garden.     … [continue…]

Disneyland Gives Way To Grown Up Dreamland

05/11/2018 by Geoff Harris

I’ve just got back from a most interesting few days with some of my large brood of grandchildren.  These days it’s very manageable – they’re not kiddies but teenagers.  Nicely spaced in age range, they each have talents and hobbies that are very individual.  This made me think that perhaps this Christmas, they’d like a … [continue…]

Browsing High End Ideas Brings Inspiration

03/10/2018 by Geoff Harris

Getting the perfect setting at home is one of the most challenging aspects of owning a property.  One person’s uncluttered minimlist vision is another’s cold unfeeling nightmare.  Fashions in home decor and styling change with the wind.  For a season or two every magazine and tv lifestyle programme promoting this colour trend or that. The … [continue…]

Divine Ginger Decor With Lashings Of Cream

13/09/2018 by Geoff Harris

I had the good fortune to meet up with the most glorious looking cat whilst I was away on my hols this year.  I was happily sunning myself on a pal’s balcony – overlooking their very grand patio and pool area, minding my own business and generally noting the fantastic new decor and whizzer furnishings … [continue…]

Better House Designs Are Very Achievable

03/08/2018 by Geoff Harris

When you buy a new house built by a major house developer, you very rarely think that the kitchen may not suit your needs.  Usually we are so overcome with excitement at the prospect of a lovely shiny brand new home that we don’t ever consider whether the sink is where we’d put it, or … [continue…]

For Downsize Read Massively Expand

03/07/2018 by Geoff Harris

Some of the programmes on daytime tv at the moment are very old repeats of the good old ‘houses bought on auction, done up and sold on for a mint’ or couples who are downsizing and moving to the country.  This always amuses me, when in the introductory blurb the family say they have no … [continue…]

03/06/2018 by Geoff Harris

Ah the wonderful month of June – with the end of the spring equinox bringing the much hoped for sunshine and absolutely no flooding levels of rain.  Well in recent years we have had a fantastic array of hot Junes.  This year is turning out to be flaming June and not always for the right … [continue…]

Colour At Last To Lighten The Mood

09/05/2018 by Geoff Harris

Something I’ve noticed in recent weeks is the swing over from the ghastly grey themes that have swamped every single furnishing and decorating emporium have now abated and we have luscious spring and summer hues abounding.  It is a fabulous change and long overdue.  I’ve not really been aware of the length that those who … [continue…]

Individually Built Beats Developers Cheap Blandness

03/04/2018 by Geoff Harris

I have just spent the easter holiday with a sibling and partner.  They have lived in their very gorgeous individually built house for over 18 years and because they are not at all lazy, their palace of glittering delights looks as wonderful today as the day they moved in.  No exaggeration.  I was particularly taken … [continue…]
