Such a clever idea to name this pretty brass box Atmosphere as that is exactly what it will be used for. The perfect place for storing photographs, postcards and reminders of lovely days. I have always had a series of boxes (none probably as pretty as this mind) either under the bed or on…
Sometimes an idea is so simple and perfect that there is almost nothing to say about it. This is one of those ideas. And I have to say when I realised the little cut-out at the end was for hanging glasses I practically fell over in delight. That is what this series of objects of…
I may (possibly) have mentioned this before but I do love a bit of Danish design and these chairs from the fabulous House Doctor DK brand are no exception. Made from rosewood (also known as sheesham) you can tell by looking that they are comfortable as the back curves gently to meet yours and the…
Yes it might seem like a random time of year to publish a post about a perpetual calendar but then again why not? I love these calendars and have been looking for a really well-designed one for a while now. This could be the one. And it will go really well in my newly painted…
I adore monochrome. And monochrome with a splash of gold? I might just fall over in delight. This gorgeous bedspread is part of the new collection from Toast and while it looks completely divine against the black and white floor tiles, which you probably haven’t got (no nor me), the grey stripy bedlinen to go…
Now isn’t this pretty? Such a lovely little bedside table. I love the clash of textures with the velvet ribbon hanging seductively down from the side and the way it appears to be standing on tiptoes. This is definitely a bedroom table, it would look quite out of place downstairs don’t you think? It’s made…
Now I must confess I’m not a great one for candles. I like the idea of it for sure, but I’m always so frightened that they’ll fall over or I’ll forget to blow them out that I tend not light them in the first place. Having said that, I’m a big fan of candlesticks…
Cork is having a bit of a trend moment this year and I love the simplicity of this mirror, which reminds me of the shape of the mirror that my Grandmother used to have on her dressing-table ( minus the handle) but created from a more modern material. Well, modern when it’s used for…
The beautifully twisty Plumen 001 bulb was everywhere last year and now there is an equally lovely shade to go with it for those who feel that a naked bulb will never be quite right. This deceptively simply shade looks like a mirror when the light is off and looks like a plain reflective, or…
I just love the idea of this lamp. Created by Israeli designer Meirav Barzilay it’s a metal grid into which you plant the vine of your choice and, as the plant grows it creates a natural lampshade. Simple. Clever. You must use an energy-saving bulb though as that provides the right sort of light. The plant isn’t…
