House & Garden

It feels that growing our own food is a skill we’ve lost, most likely it’s because of the availability of cheap food, but I do think it is slowly making its way back into our lives. I know for many its intimidating to know where to start with growing food, particularly if you’ve no gardening […]

As much as I longed for a garden, when I did finally get one I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t completely overwhelmed with the whole thing. I’ll never forget standing in my garden 3 days after moving in, with a rough idea of what I wanted to achieve, and wondering how the heck […]

In response to my previous post on how to grow sunflowers, a women on Instagram expressed a concern to me that she assumes there is more involved to gardening than just putting plants in the ground. Now I do not claim to be a gardening expert, far from it. My garden has been an experiment […]

With their bright yellow faces tracking the sun all day you can’t deny how cheerful Sunflowers are. Sunflowers are one of the easiest plants to grow and don’t need that much space. They only really require height. So you can grow these in pots on a small patio, a mini balcony, or even out on […]

The last time I posted a kitchen tour it was of my wee Glasgow flat (click here ). Back then I had recently moved and thus dramatically downsized my kitchen, but I didn’t care. I had placed 1 converse-clad foot firmly on the property ladder (solo and while studying for a PhD I might add) […]

When it comes to decorating your home, rental or otherwise, in my mind there’s no better way of stamping your mark on the place than hanging a little wall art. One of the first things I tend to do in a new home is get the pictures on the wall pronto because even if the […]

But long before Pinterest and the much loved hashtag, there was cinema and with cinema came a plethora of inspired #KitchenGoals. Here’s my top movie kitchens. Gosford Park’s vast […]

If you keep up with my antics on Twitter or Instagram you’ve probably surmised I’ve moved. Over a year ago in fact. My Weegie Kitchen is no longer the open-plan space with bags of storage and an island unit ideal for parties. It’s the complete opposite. But its all good in the hood because this time around […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 2 years (or you don’t have a Pinterest account) you’ll know when it comes to up-cycling, pallets are the numero uno material to work with. From beds to deck chairs, porch swings and vertical herb planters, there’s nothing we can’t do with a pallet. Why the […]

Now that I have my new digs (stay tuned for the official Weegie kitchen tour) I’ve been reminiscing about the flats I’ve lived in over the years. We’re talking 12 years of Weegie living from my late teens to early thirties. This includes a 2 bed squalor flat where I lived with 3 girls & we had a […]
