What small item has transformed your home?

Mine is a small item! A screw on attachment to my kitchen sink tap which enables me to swivel and point the water spray in all directions.

I bought two Ikea memo boards with all the bits to go on it for above a breakfast bar in the kitchen. I love it, I put special ticket receipts on it, post cards, and anything special I love it, I can see them all the time where they are.

Plantation shutters are expensive,
Had a quote two years ago for around £800 pounds each for a medium size windows.

Would still buy if I could afford them.

A long shoe-horn! Since my arthritis kicked in, last year, I have had more and more difficulty with putting on my shoes. Oh, the groans as I struggled the get my heel into the pesky things! Now it just takes a couple of painless tweaks.

Does anyone know of a gadget that cuts toenails without me having to bend?

I wasn't going to put mine as they aren't a small item but, as others have put blinds, I will. We bought a bungalow with a lovely park across a fairly busy road. I had the dilemma of what to put up at the windows as both windows are in the bedrooms. I didn't want nets or anything that stopped a clear view and found blinds that slide down and stay where you want them (they easily click out for window cleaning). I have them just over halfway up and can see into the park but people passing cannot see in. We've had them for about 4 years now and definitely our best buy.

This lets everyone know where they stand ?

A moon lamp!!! I love it!

My vax window cleaner no more streaks .

TV stand, no ty stands.

A dark wood ty stand. Our lounge is traditional with a dark wood fireplace and dark windowsill. I looked everywhere for a wood tv stand but they were all light coloured. Then I happened to be in a charity shop and there was my perfect tv stand for £40. They are £179 new in the shops. It's ideal and looks so good in the room.

A runner for my pan cupboard. The bliss of not having to rummage around in the cupboards bent double for pans, banging and clanging and the dogs running for cover.

I bought a couple of pretty white net curtains for both of my front rooms, with a simple floral design from J Lewis. One's upstairs in the spare room and the other in my tiny kitchen. They look clean and fresh - a heck of a contrast to the ghastly old ones I had before. It took a bit of effort to get the attachments in place but was worth it.
And something even more mundane - a new pale blue washing-up bowl (Joseph Joseph) which has a drainer in the centre. It makes doing the dishes slightly less dreary.

My granddaughters bought me a wooden plaque from Cornwall, painted on it is star fish, a sea horse and the words
‘As free as the ocean’, reminds me of happy times at the coast and I love ‘free’

A new, and beautiful kettle. So well designed, so simple and lovely it makes me smile every time I use it.

How small is small??
A small log burner in our sitting room which proved invaluable this time last year during the Beast from the East, when our boiler packed in.

This has transformed our home and us

Other boiling water taps are available, by the way, but hugely more expensive!

My InSinkerator boiling water tap is the best thing ever!

A set of wind chimes - not too big (certainly not those monsters that some people hang on trees and clang, clang, clang annoyingly) but just large enough to produce a calming sound not unlike water trickling into a fountain.....brill!

A motor-driven blind for my hard to reach kitchen window!

3 echo dots took 30minutes to set up why
Replaced 3 radio's, alarm clock, kitchen timer ,add things to shopping list(we both can add ) , intercom no more shouting round house ,reminders for appointments, and one other thing that used to drive me mad slight delay on radio in separate rooms all in sink now

A bunch of daffodils.

Not so small - a daylight reading lamp ( not just an LED white light one).

Spring flowers from my garden.

A genuine and exquisitely beautiful Russian Icon for the whole of the month of April.

Was very lonely & miserable when i lost the last boy of the two cats i had adored for nearly 15years. Home was dull & quiet. Then two beautiful girl cats needed a home, moved in & took over. Happy bright cheerful home again!
