Finding properly pretty bed linen is not the easiest of tasks, especially for children's rooms. Because a lot of the time "pretty" means cartoon fairies and a very sickly sort of princess pink, when what you actually want is Liberty print and the sorts of teeny tiny...
Weekly Window Shop: Statement Towels
I've been looking for something to jazz up my very plain bathroom, but something soft, steam-tolerant and relatively portable. A flash of colour, a punchy pattern, a sort of moveable visual feast, if you will. And what's more soft, steam-tolerant and movable than a...
5 Things I’ve Learnt About Interiors
I've had a bit of a eureka moment with my house. After a year of dithering and not quite feeling confident about what I wanted to do with it, I feel as though I've finally found my furnishing and decorating groove. I've embraced the Georgian architecture with its...
Weekly Window Shop: The Best Pink Beds
[AD info: this post contains one affiliate link marked *] I know that it's entirely possible that pink velvet is going to be one of those fleeting trends that disappears into the interiors ether as quickly as it arrived, but please humour me. Because I've always...
House Tour and Interiors Update
The one you've all (maybe) been waiting for - the house tour. OK, so it's not a room-by-room reveal of the whole place, MTV Cribs style, but it's as much of a house peek as you're probably going to get. You can always see bits and pieces of the inside of my home on...
A Vinterior Obsession
I seem to have developed quite a serious, potentially ruinous, shopping addiction. I can't stop buying things from the vintage/antique website Vinterior. To date, I've bought four lights, three mirrors, a chest of drawers, an old French shop display, an armoire the...
Weekly Window Shop: Floral Noir Interiors
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) It's been a while since the last Weekly Window Shop, hasn't it? And I have no idea why, because I've been spending just as much time as usual looking at stuff online, creating fantasy...
Weekly Window Shop: Statement Lights
This post was going to be called Alternative Chandeliers, but it sounded so unbelievably wanky that I had to change it. I'm not sure that "statement lights" is that much better, but hopefully you'll know what I'm getting at with this episode of the Weekly Window Shop;...
Interiors: If In Doubt, Start with the Downstairs Loo…
After dilly-dallying about looking at around five million wallpapers for the hallway, I have made the executive decision to have a little practice makeover session using the downstairs loo. What a great place to start! Firstly, it's small enough that any decorating...
Who Needs a Bedside Table Anyway?
I am without a beside table. Have been for quite some time. In fact if you follow me on Instagram then you'll remember this photo from weeks ago - it's of one of my Ercol vintage kitchen chairs being used as a makeshift book-and-vase stand. Rather more attractive than...
A Tour of my Kitchen
"Tour" is a bit of a grand word to use, isn't it, for what amounts to a quickish snoop around the room that I cook and eat in, but there we go. It's a thing, online, apparently. House tour, office tour, tour of my makeup kit, bathroom cabinet tour, tour of my...
