Inclusions have been a hot topic in the office this week, with an influx of clients looking to build brand new homes. Most clients come to us after having been to the bigger builders and not quite finding what they are looking for.

Etsy Love-Albert and Grace
I’ve fallen in love, I’ve fallen hard, and fast for an Etsy shop I stumbled across just last week. Albert and Grace Vintage Wares was featured in the Etsy newsletter last week, and is just the kind of store I love. Cheryl has a real knack for displaying the items she has for sale, and oh… read more →
Inspired Space-Pool Inspiration
Just about the only thing I miss from our old house, is the pool. We only had the pool for 2 years before we sold up and moved to our Pen Y Llechwedd, and it really was the most used part of our home. Our youngest could barely swim before we put it in, once… read more →
Pen Y Llechwedd-An update

Inspired Space-Decks

We haven’t done anything to decorate our decks yet, preferring to concentrate on… read more →
Tech Talk-Selections and the Importance of Timing
Today I wanted to explain why getting your selections in on time is important. Far too often, builders are enforcing their deadlines without explanation and the unfortunate client has no idea why they can’t just take an extra day or two to decide on something they will be stuck with for the next 5-10 years.… read more →
Pen Y Llechwedd-Miss 12’s Room
Miss 12’s room, is just about complete. The painter is here today to finalise the last bits and then I can hang a few more pieces on the wall to really finish it off. Having said that, the room is ready to share. The only brief I had from Miss 12 prior to starting her… read more →

I have found it so easy to forget the little things whilst focusing on the big things. Here is an example of what I’ve been… read more →
