Image Interiors & Living – Ask the Experts

Hello Friday, you sexy beast. You are here at last and the cherry to the top this fine Friday – the new Image Interiors & Living is out! The Ask the Experts team is back and in this issue I put my DIY knowledge to good use with a readers’ question about how to DIY a hanging branch for their home. It was a perfect question as it was a culmination of two recent projects I did in our spare bedroom [pendant cord light + branch art], so I was like, don’t worry guys, I got this.

I still have to pinch myself when I see me alongside the likes of Roisin, John and Peadar. I’m just waiting for someone to realise I’m an intruder. Wait a second, how did SHE get in here! Off with her head. But seriously, there aren’t enough awkward words in my vocabulary to describe how humbled I am to be included in this panel. It’s pretty awesome.

You can check out the full mag in all good newsagents as and from today. And happy Friday of course! TFIF.

UPDATE – you can check the full tutorial online on Image.ie here!

Hire me!

Sorry for the radio silence last week – since Friday, Ireland has been going through kind of a big deal, so celebrations were had and sitting in front of a laptop kinda wasn’t an option. But I’m back, and with vigour 😉 

Over the past while I’ve realised it may not be all that obvious that I’m more than open to the idea of taking on new projects; in the form of writing, design and the likes. So I finally got around to adding a ‘hire me‘ tab detailing what I offer and more! So if you’re interested [or just plain nosy, which is cool] check out my new HIRE ME tab for full details! xx A

p.s. When it comes to me taking photos of myself, I’ve found the only way to ensure a genuine smile is made, I have to be within arms length of a cat. Every picture I took sans cat, I looked like I was being held hostage. So, crazy cat lady picture it is.

Woodie’s ‘Get the Look’ guide

On Wednesday afternoon I was busy working on my latest DIY project in Woodie’s Carrickmines [more on that later!]. While I was waiting for some paint to dry, I saw their new brochures so I flicked through them to kill some time. Lo and behold, there on the last page was me and my Woodie’s projects staring back at me. Ha! It was a lovely little surprise to be included in their Get the Look guide. And along side none other than stylist master extraordinaire Ciara O’Halloran of Style Serendipity. That girl has some serious skills and I’m forever oogling her work. You can see a glimpse of her skills in the Woodie’s Summer Lovin’ online magazine.

Speaking of summer loving, we’re due some cracking weather this next week [the weather lady mentioned TWENTY ONE DEGREES at one point], so I hope you spend some quality time outside with a beverage in hand this weekend. So get off your electronic device! And get outside. xx A
