Oh I know I’ve said it before (no, not quite every week) but this time I mean it. No I really do. This is the one. The one that I want… woo hoo hoo… etc. This Georgian house sits on one of London’s garden squares and well, look I know it’s £3.75m (read it fast…
It’s the last podcast of the current series and today we are talking about the top ten trends following the announcement of the Dulux Colour of the Year. Remember you don’t have to follow trends unless they are right for you and this is partly why we have identified 10 as they range from pale…
Today I wanted to share a couple of initiatives with you relating to sustainability. Did you know that currently only 10 per cent of the furniture and homeware items that are disposed of within the UK is recycled? Or to put it another way over 20 million pieces of furniture are thrown away in the…

This is it then; school’s back, work’s back and it’s all happening again – perhaps not quite in the same way as two years ago, but the nearest we’ve had to normality in a long time. So, to continue with some normal let’s return to our Monday classic with some beautiful rooms to guide you…
Well isn’t this just lovely? A five bedroom Grade I listed townhouse in Bath, Somerset (doesn’t Somerset have all the best houses) that is, according to The Times newspaper, on one of the six best streets to live on in the UK, a fact which will have worked wonders on its house prices too and…
This week on the podcast Sophie interviews Russell Whitehead and Jordan Cluroe of the 2LG studio who are the new designers on that revamped 90s classic Changing Rooms. Do they take it seriously? Do they think it’s about design or entertainment? And what about that hair wall (google it)? Have a listen and see what…
I’m back! It’s the first of the month (the alternative New Year’s Day for many of us) and I have some exciting news to share: over the last few months I have been working with Create Academy to put together my first ever online course which launches at the end of the month (Wednesday 29…
