Do you need some advice from an enthusiast rather than an expert? Then you've come to the right place! I have no professional qualifications in interior design and nor do I ever pretend that I have. What I do have though is a love of decorating and a passion for finding the cheap and easy way to decorate property. I have been involved in the refurbishment and design of a number of vacation properties and I am happy to share what I have learnt. |
