Not much has changed around here since my last About the house, but since I keep snapping little shots to try out my new camera I thought I’d share. Always rearranging the mantelpiece Picked up this sweet little dresser from a new vintage shop in Stoke Newington. It was only £125 and fits in great. [...]
While I wait for work on our garden to begin (NEXT WEEK! I hope we didn’t miss the whole summer…) I can’t resist giving the house little tweaks: shifting some pictures around… Hanging a new-old mirror in the hall… A new bed, still without bedside tables Trinkets and cushions.

So we spent the long weekend in Copenhagen, and I have billion blog posts drafted up! First up the best bit, our dreamy apartment. We finally used Airbnb for the first time, and I’m so glad we did. We stayed in the most beautiful apartment… You might also like… Around Copenhagen Copenhagen eats Berlin: Michelberger [...]
Our new new bathroom is done! This is kind of the second renovation that this tiny room has seen. Here’s the very-before, during, and before: We redid the room in a bit of a rush when we first moved in because it was so grim, and I still like the simple modern suite, slate floor [...]
Ooh – really excited to see some snaps of my home in the latest edition of gorgeous e-magazine Dashing.

I was particularly excited to [...]
A gorgeous sunny Saturday, I love it! We took some beers to the park and had the garden designer round to start planning our new outdoor space – just in time for the warm weather. Our garden – more of a yard, really – is pretty tiny but just the right space for some seating [...]
I’m quite excited to be able to show off the beginnings of a project I’ve been working away on for the last few months. LLUSTRE.com is a brand new site for finding and purchasing beautifully designed products for your home, and I’ve been working with them since December as design director. Their USP is to [...]
I gave my little home study-come-craft room a much-needed tidy up and rearrange recently. The space works so much better now! I ditched my old desk (it found a new home thanks to Gumtree) which was much too big for the room, and instead made my own with an Unto This Last custom-cut top and [...]
