Bright Ideas
Embedded Files
Sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference. Sometimes, all it takes is a clever fix, a pot of paint, or a creative workaround (plus a bit of caffeine and determination).
This section is a collection of practical upgrades, budget-friendly design tweaks, and small wins that turned tired corners into something smarter, fresher — and a little more joyful.
Because great results don’t always need a full renovation — just the right idea at the right time.
The Great Carpet Escape
The old stair carpet was beyond saving — stained, worn, and dragging the whole hallway down. I removed it, painted the stairs crisp white, and laid navy blue self-adhesive stair treads to tie in with the rest of the home’s colour scheme.
A quick, affordable fix that instantly lifted the entire entrance.
This carpet had seen things. We don’t speak of them.
Paint, patience, and a few cups of tea later...
Goodbye grime, hello navy chic.
Counter Intelligence
This kitchen needed some quick thinking — the worktop was scorched, stained, and long past its prime, but a full replacement wasn’t in the budget. Instead, I wrapped the surface in grey marble-effect vinyl, fitted sleek brushed nickel handles, and sealed everything with silicone for a polished finish.
The old kitchen got a modern lift in just a few simple steps, stylish, affordable, and landlord-approved.
A countertop crying for help.
Time for an upgrade (and a new cooker)!
Hello, sleek and shiny!
MORE TO COME SOON ;)
