I had the absolute pleasure of working on this beautiful home in Martinborough a couple of weeks ago. It involved a refresh in some of the spaces, some art recommendations and hanging and a little bit of fluffing around making sure all the areas looked tickety boo. And of course some new cushions. Who doesn’t […]

To those that know me it will come as no surprise that I love art. My home is smothered in it. Larger pieces collected along the way. Others purchased without the blink of an eye. Yet when I often enter homes it seems to me that people appear to be almost scared of art. They […]

Working with the old and new is what I love to do. Looking at spaces with fresh eyes and finding places for treasures that had been long forgotten by their owners. In this case we thought about finding a new piece of furniture to fit in this space but instead we did a quick mix […]

I know the reality of most bedsides is not what is pictured, as they are often littered with practical items that don’t quite meet the calming desire that we so need in our lives. However a little rethink on your bedroom storage, a beautiful lamp, a few well loved books along with a little greenery […]

Cushions and art. My two favourite things. Pops of colour and love everywhere. They are hard to resist and such an easy way to bring warmth and a sense of happiness to your home. Some might say I have an addiction. But who really cares? Not me. And as long as they bring joy that […]

A refresh of this space was the order of the day but making do with some aspects also had to play a role. A fresh lick of paint added a sense of tranquillity and freshness to this room and the addition of some beautiful artwork by the clever Selena Kitchen and a lovely new sideboard […]

A little texture in a space goes a long way. I love it how people hang baskets, hats or floral wreaths on their walls to create interest. The play on patterns and textures will add warmth to your home especially if you have opted for a neutral backdrop. This visual feast by the clever Sophie […]

Artwork, flowers and greenery are the icing on the cake when it comes to making a space feel like your home. So many people renovating find it hard to take this last most important step. I get that. Renovating is hard work. But try to remember the icing, it is what most of us love. […]

This weather is driving me nuts.  It is quite simply awful at the moment.  So here are some pieces that have bought a touch of happiness and colour to my grey dreary day.  They are by the very talented Kara Rosenlund, Arie Hellendoorn and Jon Thom.

I have been a fan of all things Rachel Castle for quite some time now.  Her work includes beautiful linen, sweet velvet cushions and artwork that smacks fun in your face.  Her new work is particularly gorgeous…best I start saving my pennies.  Or perhaps a wee tea towel will help me overcome fix.
