My childhood was marked by the rhythmic ticking of my grandfather’s clock. Inheriting it brought me joy, as its chimes comforted me and evoked memories of simpler times. There were many nights when I stayed awake, waiting for the clock to indicate the time, as I did not have a watch, alarm clock, or phone.
I’ve always said, and will continue to say, that organising is therapeutic for me. It gives me a sense of control and clarity—helping me see what I have, what should be discarded, and what needs to be bought.
In this blog focused on organisation, we will explore how to effectively organise your food pantry or cabinet.
A Beloved Cat: The Heartwarming Presence That Fills a Home
There’s a special kind of magic that comes with sharing your life and home with a cat. From the soft padding of paws across the floor to the gentle purrs that fill the air, a beloved cat has a way of making everything feel just a little bit warmer and a lot more peaceful.
As the days grow longer and the harsh winter conditions begin to soften, there’s a quiet yet thrilling spectacle happening right beneath the surface. Hyacinths, tulips, and other springtime blooms are beginning to push through the cold, frozen earth, offering a glimmer of hope and renewal after months of bleakness.
One day, a past acquaintance of mine told me, in a not so friendly manner, with you, everything has to be big.
Yes, for me, in some aspects and particularly in interior design, the bigger is better., and less is more.
Displaying fruits and vegetables attractively can significantly encourage healthy eating by making these foods more appealing and accessible. I take pride every week in organising the fruit and veg creatively and artfully.
It was so bad we did not think we were going to make it. It turned out to be the best thing that could have happened
How often when things go wrong for us, we turn to lamentation…
Reshuffle life.
When life does not go according to plan, something needs to change. It is time to reshuffle our lives.
If you commute by public transport, for example by train, you will have noticed how many commuters are on their mobile phones mindlessly scrolling on internet pages and social media…
For the past 4 weeks, I have had the urge to purge. Literally declutter all, till only the bare minimum needed is left. Declutter as if there was a near-future house move and an objective to pack as little as possible. After all, why have the burden to move and bring stuff that is used only on occasion? To form more clutter?
This painting is inspired by a photo. It represents a woman standing behind a large glass window, her elbow resting on the window frame. Although the woman’s glance faces outwards, she appears to be lost in her thoughts, almost daydreaming. She may be confined indoors and wishes to be outside, or maybe is simply bored.
The window reflects a sea landscape. The shore and sea seem to be far out. It appears to be grey and cold outside, which contrasts with the warmth and darkness of the inside.
Only 4 colours were used for the painting: Buff titanium, yellow ochre, raw amber and blue-grey, which combines cold and warm colours.
It took 5 months to do the painting.
