I am so excited to tell you that I have been asked to be one of the official bloggers for the Ideal Home Show on their dedicated ‘interiors’ day on March 25th.

They are doing something a bit special and hosting a dedicated ‘bloggers lounge’ in which they are inviting their favourite bloggers down to the event to blog live and experience the show in a way that hasn’t be available in the past to bloggers. The lounge will be set up just for bloggers, with computers available for use, in the Show Village and totally kitted out by Harvey’s Furniture.

The Ideal Home Show, proudly sponsored by Anglian Home Improvements, is Britain’s best loved home event and returns to London’s Earls Court for its 103rd year. The multi-award winning show brings together more than 600 quality exhibitors from all over the UK to offer a unique shopping experience for all areas of the home, including ideal Interiors sponsored by Dulux, ideal Home Improvements, ideal Gardens sponsored by Hydropool Hot Tubs, ideal Gadgets, ideal Food & Housewares, ideal Shopping and ideal Woman.

And if that’s not enough, the show is jam packed with celebrity guests, more features than ever before including the latest home gadgets, demonstration theatres, a live kitchen theatre, a beauty bar and catwalk, and of course take in the iconic show homes


I am looking forward to being inspired by the Ideal Home Magazine Room Sets; from creating the perfect space for entertaining and cooking to wandering around fresh, serene sanctuary-style bathrooms to relaxing boutique hotel style bedrooms.

DULUX have invited me to join them for a 1-2-1 consultation in their new "Let’s Colour It" Studio which they are launching at the event. They can match any colour and mix it into a paint for you. I will be sitting down with one of their experts to match up colours to paint my Easter crafts.

DULUX have also given me a pair of tickets to the Ideal Home Show give away to one of you, my sweet readers. To enter please leave a comment below this post letting me know what colour you would like mixed up for you by DULUX. The giveaway ends on Wednesday, March 16th 2010 at 10pm (GMT) and I will randomly select and announce a winner on Thursday, March 17th.
