Our neutral master bedroom makeover is finished, on time and everything! This last week has been crazy but it all came together, and I love how the room turned out. To recap, we rent a little three story house in London, and our bedroom is on the top floor. It’s a lovely light-filled space, and I wanted to keep it bright and neutral but bring in lots of layers and texture. You can check out all the progress posts here:… View Post
One Room Challenge Posts: Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4 / Week 5 (here!) / Reveal / Bonus: Desk Good news, everyone: I finally got the wood for my live-edge desk! It’s definitely been the biggest hassle of our whole One Room Challenge master bedroom makeover, but I think it’s going to be totally worth it. I’ve still got to sand and finish it, but there is at least a chance now that I will… View Post
Five Columns Essaouria is a holiday rental home on the coast of Morocco. The building dates to the 18th century, and it’s been restored beautifully – clean, modern design paired with traditional Moroccan architecture and textiles, all in a perfect neutral colour palette. I was bowled over when I first came across this stunning home, in the heart of Essaouria’s medina. It belongs to London-based interior designer Lisa Burke, and it’s available to rent via HomeAway. The home’s bright, neutral… View Post
One Room Challenge Posts: Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4 (here!) / Week 5 / Reveal / Bonus: Desk My plan for this week was to show off my newly painted bedside cabinets, and/or my new live edge desk, but neither of those are happening. Womp womp. I should have been able to go and pick up the wood for the desk by now, being currently on day 12 of the company’s 7-10 day window… View Post
Finds A rattan radio!This pouffe from Maisons Du Monde sports a similar white & natural weave combo, and I love the tribal print. Tech I’m on a mission to slowly replace all the things in my house that aren’t both beautiful and functional. There’s no reason not to have both, right? I discovered Native Union‘s range of charging cables and accessories at Design Junction, and they definitely fit that brief. Inspiring Spaces London-based designers Turner Pocock had a house featured in last… View Post
One Room Challenge Posts: Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 (here!) / Week 4 / Week 5 / Reveal / Bonus: Desk We’re basically half way through the One Room Challenge, and frustratingly, I still don’t have much to show. Everything on order is taking ages to arrive. What I did do, though, is clear out the room properly and clean it top to bottom. Yes, there’s still a little pile of stuff, but it’s all stuff that is… View Post
Design Junction might just have been my favourite part of London Design Week last month. Just like Decorex, there was a lot of good stuff, but this was a little more down-to-Earth and attainable, especially all the pop-up shops. Sara Mellone was a stand-out for me. I love her minimalist brass coat racks so much. Her leather hangers were perfection too. I commented on how much I liked the designer’s earrings at the show, and she’d made those too (check out… View Post
One Room Challenge Posts: Week 1 / Week 2 (here!) / Week 3 / Week 4 / Week 5 / Reveal / Bonus: Desk So far, I’ve not made a huge amount of progress in our bedroom makeover for the One Room Challenge. I have, however, done plenty of ordering, and listed a good chunk of clutter on eBay. In case you missed last week’s post, here’s my plan: I’ve been enamored with a stunning large-scale cloud print by JR Goodwin for… View Post
If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you will have heard me harping on about my dream sofa…a navy velvet Chesterfield. Well, I shall no longer be banging on about how much I want/covet/need one…because I finally have one. In my actual house. That I am sitting on right now! A lot of time went into selecting “the one.” I decided on one from Love Your Home over a year ago because they’re solid, great quality, and well… View Post
