Back for another Wednesday Ad Break and this was such a fun job styling a bathroom with our former podcast sponsor Geberit. It had to be done completely in lockdown too with lots of messages and product links going back and forth and neither Sophie nor I got to see the finished rooms until we…
Here is a link to a post I wrote back in January in support of the podcast which was about choosing your red thread and working out how colour makes you feel. I hope you enjoy revisiting this post as part of the postcards from August series.
This year throughout August I thought I would give you a series of postcards linking back to popular posts that have run through the first half of the year. I hope you enjoy these daily visits and reminders of some of the wide range of topics we have looked at together so far. This comes…
This is the last post for July and I will be taking August off to recharge the, somewhat, depleted brain cells. That said there will be a couple of podcast posts as well as details of a bathroom I have styled so keep your eyes out for that. And, of course, those of you who…
It seems as if home working is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future, with some companies talking about people returning to the office only one day a week and others not due back until January at the earliest. So this week, on the podcast, Sophie and I discussed garden offices. We then…

And here we are again with a little bit of soothing green for a Monday. This is for all those who need to take a breath. Green is a calming, creative colour (I wrote about the psychology of it here) and as the school holidays start but the actual holidays don’t seem to, it seemed…
To Brixton, in south London, this week and this distinctive Victorian terrace house which somehow manages to look much bigger than its neighbours because of the black paint and I would never have thought that was a thing until I saw this house. Anyway, it’s on the market with Brickworks for £1,250,000. Coming in? There…
It’s five weeks since Rukmini Patel and I launched the Design for Diversity Pledge and accompanying sticker and we thought it might be time to update you on what has happened since. The first point to note is that we have had nearly 150 signs up from large brands to sole traders all of them…
Finally, after 10 years of living in this house we have sorted out the outside lighting. At the start of the year I agreed to work with Original BTC for 12 months and this post for my Wednesday Ad break is part of that collaboration. Original BTC is a British company that also owns Davey…
