Why I Want To Visit Thailand

by Leave a Comment

Although I am not much of a traveller, I often think about places I would like to visit if I could. There are some amazing places in the world and in an ideal world I would get to visit some of these. However, I don’t want to visit the usual places for the usual reasons – as ever, I’d like to do something a little different!
For example. I would really like to visit Thailand, Japan and other places in that direction, because of the amazing confectionery they have. If you follow me on social media you may have noticed that I am a big fan of unusual sweets and snacks, and often visit oriental supermarkets to catch up.

What I Wear To A First Date

by Leave a Comment

A first date with someone is always nerve-wracking, especially if you’re online dating and meeting someone for the first time. One of the biggest tips I can give is to wear something you’re comfortable in. It can be tempting to dress very glamorously, however, if you spend the evening worrying about your eyelashes looking perfect of tugging at an uncomfortable dress
you won’t be able to enjoy yourself.

Choosing The Right Furnishing For Your Home

by Leave a Comment

One of the nicest things about moving into your own space,
is the ability to get creative and do what you want with it. Of course, if you
live in rental accommodation you’ll need to check with your landlord, but they’re
mostly okay with improvements, as they benefit from it too.
As some of you will know, I have spent my time living in
Birmingham, in a house share. This has been great and served me well for 15
months, but I am definitely starting to think about getting my own space. For
starters, my clothes take up half my room so something definitely needs to be
done about that!

Getting Creative

One of the things I am most looking forward to when I get my
own space, is being able to accessorise it how I like. I get real envy when I
see Instagram and Pinterest photos of really nice rooms, desk spaces and make
up storage and think – I WANT TO DO THAT! I have a whole host of ideas of what
I would like, and I really can’t wait to put them into practice!

Going The Whole Hog

Of course, if I ever bought my own house I would love to go
the whole way and get everything done perfectly. One of the things I really,
really like is the look of parquet flooring. I think it makes a room look
really light and airy, which is something I would love to create. I know it’s
pretty easy to maintain and that is something of a plus point for me too. As
one does, I have been window shopping online and all the things I could buy, if
I had my own home and I know that this flooring comes in a range of styles, so
whatever I decide I like at the time, I know there will be something that suits
my needs perfectly.

Not Rushing Things

One of the things I have promised myself when it comes to
decorating and perfecting my own place is not to rush things. At the moment I
have a million and one things I would like to do and ways I would like to
decorate. I need to remind myself that I can’t do them all and pick out what I
want.  I know when the time comes this
won’t be an easy process, but I am determined to take my time and get things
right.

This won’t be happening for a few months yet, but there’s
nothing wrong with collecting Pinterest inspiration in the meantime is there?

How would you decorate your own space, if you could have anything
you wanted?

Why You Should Get An Extension On Your House

Getting an extension on your house has many benefits. You can get it designed to look the way you want and be the size and shape that works for you. While you do need to getting permission and plan how you are going to manage this project, there are still plenty of reasons why you should get an extension on your home. Here are some of those reasons.



More Space



One of the main reasons people get an extension is that it provides some extra space in their home. This space can be used for a variety of things, and the use will differ depending on your given situation. You have a lot of flexibility around the size and shape that you make your extension, and this means that you can make it be the way that suits you best. In your extension, you can have extra sitting space, room for the kids to play or even make it into an extra bedroom. Extensions don’t just need to be cheap and low quality. Instead, they can match the design of your home perfectly and look like they are meant to be there. If you are struggling for space in your home, then you should look into whether or not an extension can help your situation.



Increase House Value



Another reason that you might want to consider getting an extension for your home is that it will increase the value of your house. An extension is a great way to plan for the future. If you know that at some point in future you are going to want to move homes, then you can build an extension to increase the value of your home when you inevitably sell. If you want to maximise the value of your home, then you want to build as high a quality extension as possible. This means that it will cost you more in the short term, but it will be well worth the investment in the long run. An extension adds an entirely new room to your home that can be used for essentially anything. A lot of people find a lot of value in orangeries in the UK, and they are a popular type of home extension. This is enticing to home buyers and can have a huge impact on the value of your house.



It Might Save You Money



This might sound strange, but building an extension might actually save you some money. This is for a few reasons. Firstly, if you are thinking of moving house into something larger due to limited space in your current home then building an extension might be a cheaper solution. This because building an extension will be cheaper than buying a whole new house. Instead, of having to pay all of the additional costs that come with buying a new house outside of the deposit and cost of the home itself, you can build an extension that will give you everything that you want and not have to worry about moving.
