It is an honour to be asked by Pantone this year to announce their Colours of The Year for 2016 on the blog. Yes, you heard right. It’s not just one colour but it’s a pairing of colours. I have kept this secret knowledge for weeks and have been bursting to tell […]
I was most delighted when Etsy UK asked me to get involved in their Etsy Made Local 2015 campaign. I am honoured to be 1 of the 5 bloggers chosen to do a pre- Christmas curation for their event. A further edit of 10 items from my curation will be showcased on a feature wall, […]
With all the rain in London last week, I thought I’d post something bright to give you all a mid-week cheer. I was overseas for most of London Design festival this year, but I was so pleased to have at least caught this exhibition. Introducing you to Aria’s London Design week […]

Farrow and Ball recently commissioned me to produce a mood board for them. I absolutely love their paints, so it was an instant yes. My whole house is actually painted in Farrow and Ball.

I’ve previously posted the kitchen that I styled for a collaborative project with Red magazine and The Joy of plants. My theme was The Happy Life trend, which was full of celebratory brights. There were 5 other designers who were each asked to style a room in the same Victorian […]

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 […]
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 […]

Even better, they will be holding a silent auction for them during London Design Festival, […]
