House & Home : A Kitchen Project
We are currently working on a plan to update the kitchen in my in-laws' old home....
no work has been done to it for 30+ years.
We are updating it in order to sell it so our budget is fairly small & sensible since it is not going to be "our kitchen".
We are also trying to keep the project simple in order to get it done as quickly as possible.
The space is medium sized.
I like the idea of a basic colour - we need add as much light as we can to the space.
I am thinking of a very light wall colour - but I think a feature like the glass splashbacks above adds colour & a more modern look to the kitchen.
My husband has always loved metro tiles like those shown in the kitchen below....
we had a cream version of them in our last kitchen and would definitely use them again.
Lots of inspiration in the kitchen images that I've featured here....
tomorrow we are off tile-hunting (and hopefully buying!)....
our local Topps Tiles has a fabulous selection so fingers crossed!

Here are a few of the new jewelry pieces that I finished up yesterday. These are
all made from broken china: plates, saucers, etc. and each is completely handmade by
me from start to finish.
I have amassed a huge collection of plates and china pieces over the years. If I had to
take a guess I'd estimate that I have about 800 pieces of china in stock right now!
I hope you like them!

Beauty News : L'Apothecary Serum & Oil
Earlier this year my friend Lou launched L'Apothecary.
In her own words :
"Frustrated with the chemical content of so many beauty and skin care products, L'Apothecary sought to formulate blends which were indulgent, 100% natural and crucially, would hold their own against other synthetically-enhanced counterparts.
Utilising the principles of a traditional apothecary, we blend in Sussex, Great Britain. All of our products are made from natural ingredients and contain no lauryl sulfates, laureth sulfates, parabens, artificial preservatives, colours or fragrances."
L'Apothecary launched with a range of facial oils : hand blended oils made with gorgeous ingredients.
I tested both the British Blend & the Original Facial Oil and thought they were fabulous.
I buy and am very fortunate to be given a number of beauty products....
I have many.
I have many.
I loved the British Blend so much that I actually finished it...which is unheard of for me!
I tend to use different products depending on what I feel my skin needs at that particular time....
but the oil was so lovely, I simply stuck with it.
but the oil was so lovely, I simply stuck with it.
The oils feel luxurious but also have a very appealing purity & goodness to them which was noticeable almost overnight on my skin.
Quench Facial Serum & Calmer Bath Oil
All products are available on the L'Apothecary website & all purchases arrive beautifully packed, they make wonderful gifts, I honestly cannot recommend them enough.
