We’re in!

We have moved into our new home, and it's fantastic to have space at last! Now our little boy is super active, to have room for him to run around and play is really special. The house is so light and bright, exactly what we wanted. And all the features are in tact because it hasn't been touched since…

Ikea PS 2014 collection

I'm back from a lovely week in Madeira, and rather than letting the post holiday blues get to me, I'm thinking how we can update our flat with new projects, paint and products. The new Ikea PS collection for 2014 has some really nice items, with bold colours and quirky design features. Here are my top…

Happy Friday!

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. There's a whole Friday to get through before that though, so here's a cool and quirky house to stare at for 10 minutes and make…

west elm opening in London

I'm very excited to find out that west elm is opening a store in Tottenham Court Road, London next month. I see lots of lovely items online from this American homeware store, so I can't wait to go and see it all for myself. Here's my top 10 favourite west elm items on their site…

Friday house envy

Happy Friday! To help us through the last day of the working week, here's an amazing midcentury gem to swoon over. This house  in Wales looks as it would have done when it was built in 1966. I love the coloured bathroom suites (I am convinced these will come back into fashion soon!), built in storage…

Zara Home A/W 2013

It's supposedly our last day of Summery sunshine in England today, but my thoughts are already turning to Autumn, and of all the seasonal changes ahead. Zara Home has some  darkly decadent shots in their A/W lookbook, which are helping me look forward to getting cosy indoors... All images  Zara Home

Habitat A/W 2013

Habitat's collection for the new season has some bold, eye catching pieces. My favourite is this Sura chair, made from black rattan wrapped around a steel-wire frame - it looks very retro but with a modern spin. I may have to save those pennies though as they are £300 and up - ouch.   There…

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…

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…

James UK

I went to check out 100% design at Earls Court in London on Friday, and came away feeling inspired and excited about British design right now. One of the stands at the show that impressed me the most was James UK, a contemporary British furniture brand launched in 2006. They produce lovely vintage inspired furniture and interior…
