So this week I’m delighted to have completed on a little project that I’ve been working on for about 5/6 weeks. I was approached in January by an estate agent on behalf of a client – they were looking to refurbish a two bedroom flat in a great location in Angel, North London. The client lives abroad but wanted me to take a look to see how I could bring the space back to life a bit and update it … his description was to create a more contemporary but city-living like […] Continue reading →
I saw this snap of a bathroom whilst doing some pinning today on Pinterest and decided to ignore my current blog post and share this instead: I love the mosaics on the wall – their intricate ikat pattern and simple stone worktop compliment one another so well. My favourite bit of this room, however, has to be the gorgeous mirror – I LOVE pink gold as a material – it has such a beautiful and soft glow about it … and so this mirror, for me, is just an amazing piece! I […] Continue reading →

Before you even begin to rip out your current question you need to assess what you are looking for from your new kitchen - Spending: Be SAVVY, have a think about what you would ideally like to spend on your kitchen and bare this in mind when you are browsing around. That way you won’t go overboard when perusing over the glossy magazines; you can maintain a realistic view on what you are going to achieve from the new design - Essentials: Make a list of all of the activities that you […] Continue reading →
I’ve recently fallen in love with anything that has an ikat print on it … I’m not sure what it is about this type of design; perhaps it is the individuality of each print that I see or the mix of colours that are used, but I absolutely love it! Ikat (sometimes spelt Ikkat) is a dying technique which is used to create pattern textiles that employs a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dying. It is an age-old process and is thought to have originated from South East Asia […] Continue reading →
