As all dog lovers know, we wouldn’t be without our little pals for the world, muddy paws and all. What we don’t love so much is their ugly beds, baskets and feeding bowls which don’t tend to fit with the design aesthetics of our beautiful homes.
So the lovely folks at Terrys Fabrics have put together this great little infographic to bring your doggie furniture from dodgy to designer.
Wow – I can’t believe that we are nearly half way through our “Live Lagom” sustainability project. Where does life go?
There is so much to report on how things are progressing in this little auld house of ours I’m not even sure where to start.
My Live Lagom journey towards a sustainable life has begun. I’m focusing on reducing energy and waste and improve our recycling habits along the way and last week I took myself off to Ikea to collect my goodies. To say I was as excited as an 8 year old on Christmas morning is an understatement
I love getting creative with my gift wrapping. Recently I’ve noticed a lot of beautifully wrapped gifts using brown paper. I love this idea because not only does it save waste on multiple rolls of fancy paper, but you can get really creative with the ribbons and adornments because the backdrop is neutral.
I have been invited to take part in a unique sustainable lifestyles initiative being launched by IKEA with support from Hubbub and the University of Surrey. It’s called the Live LAGOM project and it’s all about finding new ways to help people live a better life and to save money.
Yesterday I was fortunate to be invited to attend The Paint It Pink Afternoon Tea Party at the RDS. The event was part of the Irish Cancer Society “Paint It Pink” campaign in aid of Breast Cancer awareness and was hosted by DFS, sponsors of the DFS Showhouse at the Irish Permanent Ideal Home Show.
This year the showhouse has been designed by the incredibly talented Roisin Lafferty of Kingston Lafferty Design.
