A water’s edge home tour
Recently, this kitchen caught my eye on pinterest. I think it was the chandelier that first drew my attention. I clicked on the link to see where the image came from and found the rest of this stunning home. Take a look… This home backs out onto the water and so the natural colour palette…

Start your own daily challenge!
Regular readers will know that I’ve been trying to take a photo a day since January 1st of this year. I say try as I don’t manage to do it every day but it’s been really worthwhile so far and I’m enjoying the challenge. I wanted to take some time today to encourage you to…

Sunday night feeling
Twilight is fast becoming my favourite time of the day – especially as spring is starting to arrive and the evenings are becoming just a tiny bit longer. I took this snap with my camera phone yesterday as part of my 365 day photo journal project. I think I may have to rebrand it ‘almost’ 365…

Celebrate flowers
Recently I’ve been buying small bunches of flowers to display in our home in a desperate measure to cheer things up a bit – this cold and dark weather is starting to take its toll now! I’ve been going for bright oranges and reds and love the difference that it makes. It’s a great way…

Today I’m inspired by…
Zeena Shah and her cute range of printed bags, cushions, sticky tape… Seriously, I’ll take anything with one of her designs on! I met Zeena briefly at the Home interiors fair a little while ago when some of her tape (that I own) caught my eye. I’d bought it in a shop in Islington and was surprised…

beautiful handmade ceramics from karoArt found over on Etsy. I really do think that we are so lucky to have fantastic websites like Etsy. They give small business’ a platform to promote their creative talents whilst providing a great opportunity for regular old people like me to find unique and bespoke products that we perhaps couldn’t…

Celebrate children’s spaces
I often find my eye drawn to children’s graphic prints in interiors stores. There are some seriously cool designs in children’s ranges – take the above from John Lewis for example. As of yet my Mr and I have no little ones to buy for but I’m looking forward to the day when we…

Bonjour
Hi there. Just a quick note to say that I’m off to Paris today as I am speaking at a conference over the weekend (how to develop transferable skills within children using the PSHE curriculum in case anyone is interested) and so things will be a bit quiet around here until the beginning of next…

Celebrate Neon
What are your thoughts on neon interiors? Love it or hate it, neon is making a definite appearance in fashion and interiors at the moment and seems set to stay for spring/summer 2013. I have to admit that in the past, I haven’t been such a huge fan on neon colours. I think it may be…
