Seeing the Historical Doumo

Posted on June 18, 2025June 30, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann is one of those people that really enjoy historical sites, so when the option to go inside the Doumo came up, he was excited and wanted to see it. As someone who’s not a huge fan of religion, I wasn’t as bothered about going inside, personally. It’s worth noting that you need to dress modestly to go inside the Doumo, which means your knees need to be covered and you cannot wear straps or low-necked items. As a warning, there are also a lot of scam sites out there that can try to trick you into purchasing tickets there, so make sure you are using the official site.

Lots of options for lunch at Slice Milano

Posted on June 17, 2025June 30, 2025 by Jupiter

When looking for somewhere to get lunch while in Milan, we wanted to get some pizza. Dann and I are hit and miss with pizzas, often not being impressed by the toppings they have as options in places we’ve previously been, so when we saw Slice Milano, we thought it looked a little different and fun. This is a pizza place that does pizza by the slice, where you can get a bunch of different slices instead of having to get a whole or half of a pizza. Their slices are quite large in size and feature a thicker crust, as they seem to be baking each individual slice that you order, to order.

Fairy Cupcake Course with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on June 16, 2025June 27, 2025 by Jupiter

Every month, Amelia and I have some mother-daughter time taking a cupcake course. We’ve been doing this for quite some time, and as Jennie never runs out of ideas and we always have a fantastic time, we were back once again for one of the newer designs; Fairy Cupcakes. This class was warned to be a bit longer than the previous ones we have attended, due to all the intricate little designs we were going to hand craft for these packed cupcakes. Sweet Designs by Jennie is always running these cupcake courses, with a large number of different designs, both seasonal and non-seasonal.

From Concept to Couture: Designing a Bespoke Walk-In Wardrobe

Posted on June 15, 2025June 26, 2025 by Contributor

After two decades of designing interiors for discerning clients, I’ve learned that a truly exceptional walk-in wardrobe isn’t simply about storage; it’s about creating a private sanctuary that reflects your lifestyle whilst elevating your daily ritual of dressing. The most successful projects begin not with measurements or materials, but with understanding how you live, dress, and move through your space.

In my experience, clients often underestimate the complexity of creating a genuinely bespoke wardrobe. They imagine it’s merely a case of installing shelving and hanging rails, but the reality is far more nuanced. A properly conceived walk-in wardrobe requires the same level of architectural consideration as any significant room in your home. Every element, from the initial spatial planning to the final hardware selection, must work in harmony to create something that feels both luxurious and utterly personal. The finest walk-in wardrobes I’ve designed have always begun with this holistic approach, treating the space as a complete environment rather than simply a functional storage solution.

Designing a Child-Friendly Home without Sacrificing Style

Posted on June 15, 2025June 26, 2025 by Contributor

Whether you are a parent, foster carer, or soon to become either, creating a safe, engaging, and stylish home environment for children is important. With some strategic planning and design choices, you can craft an inviting, functional, and beautiful home that works for children and adults alike. This article will provide tips on how to make your home child-friendly without sacrificing your sense of style.

Safety First

When children are present, safety should always be the number one priority. Take the time to childproof each room by covering sharp corners, securing loose furniture to walls, installing safety gates near stairs, and using cord shorteners and outlet covers. Be sure to keep small objects, medications, cleaning products, and other hazardous items locked and out of reach. Consider softer materials like carpeting or rugs to cushion falls. Bright lighting in play areas and nightlights in hallways will also help prevent accidents.
