I’ve been blogging for about seven years now and in that time I have met some absolutely amazing bloggers, many of whom I now consider to be friends. What I love most about the interiors blogging scene is how friendly and supportive everyone is. I am inspired on a daily basis by how wonderfully talented

Creating a Cosy Winter Home with Cox & Cox
Velvet & Linen Kingsize Quilt So this past weekend was bonfire night and I have to say it really feels like winter now. There is such a chill in the air and our central heating has certainly been working overtime. A few weeks ago we changed the duvet on the bed for the big 15

AW16 Industrial Chic from Harley & Lola
If I had to choose my favourite interior design style I would have to say it is Industrial Chic. This particular design style is one that I never tire of and that I have tried to bring into my own livingroom. What I really love about this style is the fact that it takes inspiration

Celebrating Colour with the Brabantia #LoveColour Campaign
I think I’ve mentioned before that I have appointed myself as a brand ambassador for Brabantia right? They haven’t asked me to be one, I just really like the company and all their products. I’m constantly impressed with the quality of their products and I’ve enjoyed learning about their recent focus on corporate social responsibility with their

Review : Recycling Bins from Joseph Joseph
I have a confession to make, I really quite like recycling! How sad is that? Ever since the local council introduced a recycling scheme in our area I have become really quite committed to the cause. Occasionally, I attempt to ignore the rules, like putting an empty toilet roll into the bathroom bin, which is

Designer Pet Beds for National Pet Month
As this month (April) is National Pet Month, I thought it would be apt to share a couple of pet related products that I’ve come across recently. You may remember a while ago I wrote a ‘Lust List’ post featuring a variety of design-led products for pets that are not only practical but that look great

Concrete Accessories from I Like Beton
The concrete trend in interiors has been a pretty slow burner. Products made from concrete first started to appear a good few years ago but it wasn’t until recently that the trend really caught on with companies starting to produce all kinds of concrete accessories for the home. I’ve been pinning some of my favourite

Stylish Toy Storage from Also Home
One of the most surprising things about having kids is just how much stuff they accumulate in such a short period of time. Quite frankly, I find all this stuff really overwhelming. Granted there is a great deal of things that kids need, such as nappies, clothes, and safety equipment etc. But then there are

Visit : Nkuku Lifestyle Store and Café
I hadn’t heard of Nkuku until a friend of mine started working there. I was then invited to a special sale night where I was able to get a proper feel for the kind of products that Nkuku sells. I was really surprised to find that such an amazing company is based right here in

Norrom Aquarium for the Design Conscious
Recently, I have been thinking about whether or not I should consider getting a fish tank so that my girls can grow up having some pets. I had fish when I was little and I really enjoyed the experience, until they died of course, but that is a valuable life lesson in itself. Unfortunately, I

IKEA Satsumas Plant Stands
As you all know I love plants and I would love more of them in my home if I could only keep them alive. But sadly I’m in no way green fingered. But I often swoon over greenery in other people’s homes and the beautiful ways they choose to display their planty friends. This new

The Studio Collection by Next
The Spring 2016 catalogue from Next landed on my doorstep last week and I was already in love before I even opened it. The front cover features a beautiful image that had me feeling like Spring was on the way. Of course it’s not and we still have a few months of drab and dreary

Review : Washing Up with Joseph Joseph
I’ve spoken in a previous post about how much I hate ironing, but how, with the right equipment, the task can be made a lot more bearable. Generally, if I’m going to spend a lot of money on something for my home I have always chosen to spend it on pretty, decorative items that will look

Lust List : Designer Pet Accessories
The idea for this post on designer pet accessories came about when my friend Ruth and I were discussing how difficult it is to find pet equipment that is aimed at design conscious home owners who want their pet’s paraphernalia to blend seamlessly into their interiors. Most of the pet accessories on the market just

Creating a Copper Christmas with Notonthehighstreet.com
Copper has been a major trend in interiors for some time now and I still love it now as much as I did when I first noticed it. When it initially came onto the scene though there weren’t that many copper products that were available. Sure there were some really great (and really expensive) high-end homewares,

Originating from Northern Japan, Kokeshi dolls are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk with no arms or legs and an enlarged head. They are often exchanged amongst friends

Bloomingville Mini Collection AW15
Well, with less than five weeks to go until our new baby arrives (unless s/he comes late of course) I’m already thinking of how we will update the nursery. Two years ago, when Matylda was born, I opted for a woodland animals theme but at the time it was quite difficult to source lovely products

As you may or may not know, I’m not actually based in London like many other interiors bloggers. I live right down here on the gorgeous South Devon Coast in a quaint little town called Dartmouth. I’d always planned to live in London though and it wasn’t until my third year at University, which I

Lust List : Designer Kitchen Equipment
When you have a really ugly kitchen that you can’t afford to replace I think it’s pretty standard to start looking around at all the lovely kitchen accessories that you could potentially try to spruce it up with.
