The Block Glasshouse has been over for only 1 week, I'm having withdrawals!   As an interior designer & experienced renovator The Block series would have to one of my favourite shows. There is nothing better than being deep in renovation with "everything" happening all around you with the stress being so high. I love to watch knowing it's not me renovating and that I can sleep in my own bed and cook in my own kitchen is a relief, as we watch the struggles and achievements nightly of the contestants. but I do wish I was renovating again...

Lighting ideas It never ceases to amaze me seeing the new ideas available in lighting. Many times a well put together room can shine with the introduction of spectacular lighting. A single pendant that hangs over a table, a collection of lights that add interest to an otherwise boring space come to life with the addition of glass, light and atmosphere. For a long time I have been thinking of the perfect comfy chair to read my book in, but it really needs a functional light hanging over the top to complete the picture. It creates a collection of furniture...
