Here is the archive of all my home and garden posts.

I have lived in my Edwardian Terrace for 20 years now. Over the years I have tried a lot of home improvement techniques and DIY. I have also discovered some great quick and easy ways of making my home look beautiful on a budget. I may be able to help you find what works for you too.
