Ideal Home Truths

Where’s your happy place?

My garden, especially over the summer months, when I like to sit out with a coffee when it’s early and quiet and take it all in. I’ve only gotten into gardening in recent years, so it’s all been a bit hit and miss so far, but it’s lovely when you see things you’ve planted coming into bloom and when the beds start to fill out with colour over the summer months.

What’s your home addiction?

Aside from buying plants, which I can’t resist, I do love white ceramics. It can be vases, planters, candle jars, plates, cups, saucers, whatever…and in all different shapes, sizes, textures and patterns…I’ve got a couple of shelves-full. I think a collection always looks good displayed en-masse and white is a timeless classic.

What is your next home project?

I’m planning to rip out my old shed and replace it with a summer house at the end of the garden with a decked area in front. I might also add a pergola so that we’ve got a shady area to escape to. And a side extension is also on my wish list…all the plans and ideas are there in my head, I just need to find the time (and cash) to put it all into action.
