About Me
Hi, I'm Shan
Mum of three, former scientist, and someone completely obsessed with making a home feel like a haven.
I spent over 18 years in academia — a degree in Biology with Psychology, a Master's in Neuroscience, and a career in medical sciences that I genuinely loved. But losing my sister five years ago changed my perspective on everything, and I made the decision to come home — properly home — and focus on what matters most.
My love of interiors goes way back. I was always the one helping decorate my parents' home, my sister's flat, my friends' spaces. When we bought our house — a total blank canvas — I was in my absolute element. That hasn't changed. I'm still decorating, still learning, and still sharing every step of the journey. In 2025 I was even shortlisted for Best Nursery & Children's Room in the uFurnish.com Home Awards — for my son's bedroom makeover.
Here you'll find honest cleaning tips, home styling and interior ideas, room makeovers, decor recommendations, and gardening — all tried and tested in a real, busy family home. No perfection, no pressure — just practical inspiration to make your home your favourite place to be.
