Period Porch Refresh – Our Budget Makeover

September 9, 2021

.

September, it’s the start of a new school year in England, and for me, a time that always signifies fresh starts and new opportunities. But before I descend too far into cliche, I absolutely am not going to use that well used estate-agent-adage and tell you that this piece is about adding curb appeal to your home.

As the days are getting longer and we move into the warmer months, I’ve teamed up with Wayfair to bring you ‘Spring Spruce Ups’, a collection of advice, inspiration, and little DIY hacks for you to try at home ahead of the spring season in the home. This is my favourite season, and I love switching things up around the home at this time of year, it’s a ritual that, for me, ushers in and celebrates the move towards longer days and more daylight in the home.
