There are certain things that are the same for all houses/flats/palazzi when you move in and today I thought I would share some of those ideas to get you started if you have a new project involving either the whole building or just one room. It’s about getting the foundations right so the rest will…
Something a little different this Monday as the house has been through some changes since you last saw it and I thought I would show you around some of the updates. I will be writing about the individual rooms in more details over the next couple of weeks so save up any questions you have…

So for that reason the first house is a huge empty warehouse conversion that feels light…
As the saying (almost) goes you wait ages for the perfect shade of green and then they all come at once. Not quite 50, but 31 from Little Greene, one from Dowsing & Reynolds and, while there are no new varieties from Farrow & Ball, they are due to launch their new colours later this…
