Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Sneak Peek at the Tree Stump House

My inspiration for this tree stump home and it's story, comes from recollections of the wonderful illustrations by Beatrix Potter (1866-1943), Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) and E.H. Shepard (1879-1976).


Penthouse bedroom has pretty pink rose wallpaper on a cream background and cream carpet extending to the timber balcony.


The drawing room has a timber floor, elegant period wallpaper and the rug which I completed earlier.


The kitchen at floor level has a tiled floor with the traditional green and cream walls of Victorian times, which I have done my best to make look aged.

All rooms are yet to have skirting board and cornice installed, before I add furniture and fittings.

    It is looking good already. The tile floor pattern for the kitchen is really nice.
