With our recent house refurbishment we have some items that need to be rejigged, replaced or rehomed.Below is a beautiful painting of Liberty Hall in Dublin painted by my twin sister's father-in law Brian McCoy. I love this painting (and the subject) but I don't have a place for it in my house now.SO! I am going to send it over to my sister who lives in Oman. I know that when I was living abroad I always loved having Irish things on display...

Few small purchases this morning! Lampshades for living room, hall & landing. Bottles for juice & water in the fridge Alert! Work in progress! I bought a clothes rack for a short term solution to this room - what used to be an ensuite bathroom (which was never used) - and what will be a walk in wardrobe in the future. We originally went for black towels in the bathroom originally but my lord did they show the dirt - in particular...
From browsing the internet for a solution to this "smelly" problem it seems that it is a problem for a lot of people, not just me.I wear a mouth guard (to prevent teeth grinding) at night and one yucky thing that happens is that it gets quite dirty - stained - and even worse very stinky!!!!The staining I can handle. But the smell is really unbearable.There doesn't seem to be one failsafe cleaning solution available on the internet. A...

A fantastic prize at that!My work is currently running a Health & Wellbeing week. One of the events today was a sudoko competition. All correct entries went into a draw for 5 prizes and my name was one of them pulled!I won Scrabble! Which is actually one of my favourite boardgames. But seriously, I am actually a bit embarrassed about winning because the sudoko puzzle was so bloody easy.It should really should have been much...

Popped into Avoca on Suffolk Street for a look around and look what I found!

Boldie!!! There he is, looking all sophisticated in his smart new bow-tie and he has to go and contort himself like...

Just outside my train station this morning there was a girl giving out little tickets for a new coffee shop around the corner. Special offer of any tea or coffee for a euro.So never one to turn up my nose at a special offer I popped around at 10am for cup o' joe. First a funny picture of me holding the ticket which has a picture of the shop in front of the shop.I like this photo :-) Now I'm not a tea person but seems to me that is an interesting...

I have no before shots of the guest bedroom (it was an afterthought that we would do this room) but basically it was very plain white walls, with one blue wall.The walls are now painted the same colour as the downstairs and hall, stairs and landing. We got the same carpet everywhere as well.And then the major change that we switched the cast iron bed room from the master bedroom to this room.The new bed linen and curtains are from IKEA(!!!) of...

...who is the fairest of them all?As part of our home decor project we needed a mirror for our hallway. Previously we had a little rectangle cheap gold framed mirror - left from the previous tenants when we bought the house 7 years ago (the shame!)So we went on a mirror hunt. We didn't have a massive agenda or idea, figured we'd probably get a plain and simple mirror.Well that was the plan until I spotted THIS!!!!!In argos of...
