This is for anyone who loves their home to be filled with gorgeous things, both old and new – a round-up of lovely vintage products, design inspiration and DIY projects (tested out on my new flat!) that needn’t cost a fortune
Wow this week has been a manic one, I'm looking forward to taking it easy this weekend hanging out in Crystal Palace, looking around vintage shops and eating nice food.

But you just never know when and where you might get lucky, so I have a wish list of the top 6 iconic chairs… Continue reading Sitting Pretty
