Spring Clean
So as another weekend draws to a close, I have spent most of mine covered in white paint again. No I’m not making some strange fashion statement, I’m getting the flat ready to put on the market. You know how estate agents always recommend creating a blank canvas for buyers…well we are literally covering the flat in white paint.
Anyway, all this DIY got me thinking. Spring is the time to get your house in order. From clearing out the wardrobe to changing the colour scheme in the living room. Well I’m pleased to say that I have done the first one. I have cleared out some clothes (even some with tags on….I KNOW) only to start replacing them with new ones.
I guess you could say that I’m also doing the second one too. By changing the walls to white I’m hopefully showing off the best features of the flat.
Doing all of this home improvement stuff makes me want to buy lots of lovely new accessories for when we move. Three great sites for home inspiration are Cox and Cox, Pedlars and Baileys Home and Garden.
They all have some great vintage products and Cox and Cox have a beautiful wedding section too. Cabbages and Roses is another site for home which has a great choice of cushions, linens and fabrics as well as clothing. All the homewares and fabrics are printed and made in England and it’s always good to know that you are supporting UK businesses.
After spending some more time looking for reasons to crack open that credit card, I also found Colloco, Diana Forrester, Sage, Bouf, Box Brownie Trading and Boudie and Fou.
There are plenty of websites out there devoted to providing us with original and stylish homewares. I for one don’t need any other encouragement to bring out my flexible friend and buy some little goodies which I won’t find in my nearest Habitat!
