Penguin Library Wallpaper
How great is this wallpaper? Osborne and Little have produced this colourful wallpaper which is a collage of front covers of the early Penguin paperbacks. A really fun conversational piece for bookworms and fans of vintage design, take a look at Osborne and Little’s site here.
Friday apartment envy
The renovation work in our flat has slowed to a complete stop at the moment, as all things wedding-related seem to be taking up our free weekends. So for now, I will have to make do with looking at other people’s lovely homes. This 1960′s flat is in the Barbican, London. The owners have kept the … Read more
Urban Outfitters Furniture
As much as I love Urban Outfitters for their fashion, I usually ignore the small home section full of cute but often pointless stuff to clutter my already full flat. Now though, they’ve extended their range into furniture and other homeware, and from what I can see in the lookbook, it looks pretty cool. It’s … Read more
Our before and after bathroom makeover
It’s been so long since I put up a post I’ve almost forgotten what to do! I’ve been consumed by Christmas and New Year fun, and planning our wedding! All very exciting, but it’s about time I shared some pictures of our bathroom, which is now finished! The bathroom in our London basement flat before … Read more
A perfect Autumn weekend
Well it’s been so long since I have posted I didn’t quite know what to post up first today. So I thought I’d share my big news with you.

Ever-useful Ikea has some really nice things this year, including some great lighting. After all, everything looks better with fairy lights. And if … Read more
Midcentury house envy!
This South East London house was designed in the late 1960s by the architect Royston Summers. It is available to rent (if you have a spare £3,900 per month!) I love the full height windows, the use of wood and the massive rooms. Amazing! All images The Modern House
Labour and Wait
My friend told me about the shop Labour and Wait, and I’m really pleased they did. It’s quite hard to find the sort of vintage utility items in the UK that American shops, like Schoolhouse Electric, do so well. Based in East London, their homeware and stationery products are lovely – simple, functional and a little … Read more
Zara Home
I really like the colour palette in these new season Zara Home shots. Greens and purples are cosy and Autumnal, and I love their collection of glassware – so pretty. All images Zara Home.
Sanded floorboards
We have finally finished sanding the rest of the floorboards in our flat! The whole flat now has the original floorboards on show, and it’s looking so much better. We even sanded the bathroom floor, to keep a flow of flooring throughout. As the flat isn’t very big, this makes it feel more spacious. The … Read more
