About Us

Hi I am Andi and I have been married to my lovely husband Jay for 15 years. We have 2 beautiful girls together Maia and Keira who although beautiful, still unfortunately believe they should only shower and brush their teeth once a week.

We have a gorgeous little miniature Dachshund called Bella who believes she comes top in the pecking order of the family and at times I do believe she does, especially in Jay’s eyes anyway

In July 2016 we finally bought a house we plan to settle in after 15 years of moving the family around as Jay is an engineer in the Army. We always tried to make as much effort as we could in Army accommodation with accessories and soft furnishings and have owned properties together previously but always rushed to make them homely as we were never sure how long we would stay put. We decided it was time to move home as Maia was starting high school and we wanted to make roots for the girls in Dorset like I had experienced growing up, plus we had really missed our friends and living near the coast.

After joining Instagram in December, I realised there are so many people out there like me who love interior design, styling ideas and shopping for housey bargains so I thought  it would be a good idea to share our experiences, DIY tips and style as we turn a new build house in to a home with character.

You will see that I am addicted to cleaning, decorating and keeping our home organized with I hope, the ability to turn my hand to most  DIY projects  big or small.

I hope to share my money saving hints & tips as well as providing you with design and day to day living inspiration to prove that creating and maintaining your home needn’t cost the earth and can be achieved also whilst being a full time working mum.

Love
