Right I’m moving to East Sussex this week. That’s it. I’m not even entirely sure where I’m going but I fancy this tranquil location by the banks of the river in Rye, by the Romney Marshes. This black timber clad house is on the market with The Modern House for £1,845,000 (it’s Fantasy Friday folks…
Seeing as it’s got so cold – I know tis the season and all that – but still… I thought we’d head into the bedroom for the next Christmas Gift Guide as, at this time of year, it’s my favourite room and the one I find hardest to leave. As with the other rooms, it’s…
Well I feel it might be hard to top the kitchen gift guide which resonated with so many of you but for those who are rarely in the kitchen at parties – or unless it’s absolutely necessary at any other time then let’s move to the sitting room. This is a bit of a catch…
Now I’m well aware that most of the internet has gone Christmas-mad already. Well, there’ll be none of that in this corner.

Am being super organised this year as I realise I often start these guides in December (which feels right) when it’s too late to get hold of some of the stuff (which is wrong) so this year I thought I would start now and you can ignore me if you can’t face it yet (come…
Goooooooood Morning everyone and Happy Monday – or whatever time or day you are choosing to read this. I thought we would have a little look around the happy neutral that is soft pink today as it’s the most perfect background colour that you can tone down or punch up depending on your mood. It’s…
Two for you this week as I couldn’t decide which one to include so thought we could go town and country. Also, while both are very different the colour palettes are similar – basically they look like someone lay down in the middle of the Farrow & Ball factory and rolled around for a while.…
Dropping in with an update today…. do you remember a couple of months ago I wrote about the Florence Broadhurst archive?
