what you start blogging?
I was inspired by friends who have been blogging and love. When running a small business for moms and babies, I started blogging to support and promote the classes. After getting the bug, I wanted more!
More coffee brainstorming, one morning, I decided to mix my passion for interior with my new passion for blogging. A few months later, Love Chic Living is born.

how long have you lived here and how did you and your home meet?
We have lived here for 14 years and love it. I met my husband now when we both had our own little place and we decided to buy together.
It took about nine months to sell a property, move in together, sell the second and move again. We wanted to stay in the area and found the hotel just before Christmas 01.

What was the house like when you first moved in?
He was draughty and very traditional, with woodchip on the walls and the gas fires of the 1980s style. We knew we could restore to its former glory, however.

what makes you most happy at home?
I love it when the house is clean and sorted (I'm a little neat freak), the family's home for the weekend and we meet to watch a movie and eat popcorn. Conversely, I love working from home and the peace and tranquility it can bring.

What do you think is the next big trend of domestic and why?
I think there are some trends creeping through that will really take this year. The use of black paint on the walls is something we see more and more - both inside and outside. There is a large chalky substance and appears to be an extension of inky blues and greens stuffy we saw last year.

What is your key to a healthy and happy life?
I really try to get a good work-life balance. In previous years, I struggled with stress, to be an independent blogger means I can especially manage my own schedule and build in a lot of downtime.
I like to ensure that I have enough time to take care of the family and give us pleasure. Voyager is also important and something we look forward to.

do you have a design rule that you live by?
Most of the time I just do what I like. I like clean lines and uncluttered spaces with an injection of color and personality, so I really try to live when I'm decorating and design of how a room will look like.

What is your favorite place in the house and why?
Currently, there must be new loft bedroom. Last year, we undertook a loft and turned our storage space in a brand new bedroom and bathroom.
He became our master bedroom, and meant that we could move the children around the first floor, giving our youngest daughter a much needed larger room, and I office space, expected since a long time.

What is your biggest DIY success?
Undoubtedly, it is the loft bedroom. Although I'm really not doing much of yourself, because we had a construction crew to do most of the work, I make all the decisions, the angles of the plasterboarding positioning of windows, color coatings floor and furniture. I'm so happy with how it turned out; He is our little paradise away from the busy world.
