She may even have decided there will be no pink in her new room design. In all likelihood, you won’t have that much say in the paint colours although she may seek approval for her own choices. She will need a room that is multi-functional even if it is small. A space for sleep, a zone to relax with friends and an area to study, not forgetting storage for clothes, shoes, sports or hobbies equipment and books.

Getting Your Front Door Ready For Winter

Posted on October 15, 2016 by Lorna S

how-to-get-your-front-door-ready-for-winterNow that hallow’een is approaching, our gardens need tidying up and they probably aren’t as colourful as they were during the summer.
