When Klara Capouskova of So Klara sent me an image of her work, despite the small size of the photo, my eyes were instantly drawn to the colours and patterns. I knew I had to see more. Her use of vibrant and happy colours were totally in tune with my […]
I recently attended a presentation given by Rooms Made For You from British Gypsum on 3 innovative products they have developed for the home. The first is the Thistle Magnetic plaster which can easily be applied to any walls. All you need is 3mm thickness of easy to apply magnetic plaster. […]
Today was a busy day photographing my study. Remember Part one of my study here? So, finally Part 2 is completed. Part 3 is yet to come. I didn’t quite realise it, but I had begun to incorporate tones similar to Dulux’s colour of the year, Copper Blush into my […]
I have just returned from a wonderful week in Salt Lake City, where I attended the Alt Summit blogging conference. As well as learning new ideas for taking my blog to the next level, I have had the opportunity to connect with many inspiring bloggers there. I have created the […]
Tomorrow I’m flying off to Salt Lake city in Utah for the American blogging conference Alt Summit. I have always wanted to go and so decided to bite the bullet and book my ticket last October. I am full of excitement to meet new people, collaborate with new brands and […]
Last weekend, I visited Columbia road flower market in East London. As you can see from above, I bought some Tulips and Ranunculi. I had plans for these flowers but unfortunately they drooped and the petals all came off. I loved the painterly effect on the purple Tulip petals, so […]
It was rather grey in London this Saturday, but no fear, rays of sunshine were to be had at the Remodelista market. This was Remodelista’s one day curated shopping event, bringing local designers and creators under one roof. It was held in The New Craftsmen building. The New Craftsmen works […]
Sometimes, I spot something and there is that instinctive ‘like’. These prints called Paper cities and places by Angie B are one of those reflex reactions. They are prints of her original paper cut art work. I love the vibrant colours and that unifying bubblegum pink in all the prints. You can […]
Recently I styled up a vignette taking inspiration from John Lewis’s new Winter Luxe EDIT. Winter Luxe to me screams a cosy blanket, steaming hot tea and sweet treats. Then, to snuggle up in a warm blanket with a favourite novel! I have picked the super soft Flannelette Herringbone Throw from […]
A few weeks back, I was invited by Kate Baxter and Daniel Nelson to a styling party at Another Country’s new store in Marylebone, London. This was as part of their #anothersummer campaign. I was given a styling budget and free rein to use whatever was in the shop to style. […]
Thornback and Peel’s prints are quirky, cool and quintessentially British. I was most excited to learn that they have upholstered three mid-century modern chairs with their new Autumn/Winter design prints, in a new colour palette. Even better, they will be holding a silent auction for them during London Design Festival, […]
Last Saturday, I had a fun time with the family, walking around the exhibits of London South Bank’s Festival of Love. It was indeed colourful! The structure above was built by Morag Myers Cough. Love these on trend, colourful geometric wall patterns. Here’s my son showing off his new ‘Awesome’ […]
