And it’s October already. Some of you will have received my newsletter, which I hope you are enjoying. Anyone who missed it can sign up here for either monthly (newsletter) or daily (blog) updates and I will try not to double up on news. Last week I visited the home of Abigail Ahern, who has…
Seeing as we appear to be having a late burst of unseasonal sunshine – due entirely to the fact that I bought a swishy new raincoat at the beginning of the week (you can thank me later) I have decided that we shall start this week’s househunter tour on a boat. But this isn’t just…
Well that was a turn-up wasn’t it? I’ve never seen to many of you so riled and fired up before. On the other hand, it was lovely to see so many of you commenting and joining in the debate. As I said in a couple of comments, that lamp definitely sums up all the trends…
Now, as many of you will know last week was the London Design Festival, now in its 16th year, and, of course, each year is bigger than the previous one. Last year there were some 450,000 visitors from 75 countries and I’m sure there will turn out to have been more this time. Among all…
Good morning everyone and I hope you all had lovely weekends. I can’t believe Monday has come around again so fast bookmarked as it is by our weekly strolls through beautiful rooms. I often start out trying to find you a trend or a theme but then I get distracted by the rooms themselves and…
Morning househunters. Now get your coats because we’re off to South Buckingham on a slightly unusual house tour this week. The eagle-eyed, or instagrammers among you, will recognise this house as belonging to the wonderfully talented Susanna Hawkins, aka SHNordic, who has almost 225,000 followers on the platform and whose gorgeous house is for sale.…
A special post for you today. Farrow & Ball only launch new colours every two or three years and today’s the day. But they have allowed us an exclusive first look at the new shades – a few hours ahead of the rest of the world. So if you’re reading this early in the morning…
Fashions come and go but when it comes to interior design we don’t want to be changing things every season. And, as much as we might like to be aware of the trends, we don’t want to pick something for our homes that looks completely out of date two years later. One way to get…
Happy Monday to you all – at least to those that are reading this on a Monday. For the rest of you – hi! Are you ready to take a stroll through 10 beautiful rooms – the pick of the week on instagram and some of my favourite feeds that you might want to follow.…
Morning morning, and two very different properties this week. We’re going to head up to Scotland first to fulfill my delusions of grandeur with this pretty castle in Callender, Perthshire. It’s on with Savills, for £1,750,000 and technically it’s a baronial house not a castle apparently but either way it’s got turrets and it’s pretty…
