Oh it feels good to be back on a Tuesday. Let's celebrate with one of my favourite drinks - no not that one, that's for later - I meant coffee. I am a terrible coffee addict. I drink far too much of it but, you know what? I don't care. I did give it up

Oh you know how I'm drawn to a drinks trolley and this is a particularly fine specimen. I mean it doesn't just have to hold drinks, although that's always handy. You could have magazines on the bottom and space for a cup of coffee, notebook and pen on the top. It's like a sort

Just when I thought I was done with copper in favour of brass, I see this: Isn't that a beauty. It's funny because we're all so used to the brass bedstead look but I'm not sure I've ever even thought about a copper bed. And now it's all I can think about. We have an

The Mad House is not known for getting its hands dirty. It doesn't really tangle with DIY (or tents but that is another story). The Mad House is more a a sort of ASETMIFY (ask someone else to make if for you kind of girl). But then this email fell into my inbox and I

Finally! Remember these glasses which I tried to hard to find for you? Here they are! Shop people shop. Designed by Niels Datema, the glasses were inspired by the chemicals in water: “To our naked eye tap water looks like a clean and clear liquid, but every glass of water contains numerous different chemicals,” he

copper chair from blu dot at heals I love this chair. Made from powder-coated steel it's basically a flat pack piece of furniture. You simply fold along the lines to assemble.

It's fair to say I see a lot of stuff. A lot. And it's true to say that while I try never to post something that I wouldn't have in my own house - given elastic walls and a never-ending budget - I don't buy that much of what I post - given non-flexible walls

Dulux Colour of the Year 2015: Copper Blush

This shade is one of my favourite colours in the spectrum. There's masses of it in my wardrobe and it's only a matter of time before it reaches my walls. I am particularly in love with this image below pairing it with a strong charcoal which just tones it down a little and adds a

Saturday breakfast. The one day of the week (well ok one of two) when you can afford to laze around over breakfast. Put jam on your toast. Have a second cup of coffee. Slowly. And laze about with the morning papers in French cafe bistro style. These simple chairs go rather well with that

Copper and Enamelled Steel Stools

Following on from yesterday's wooden stool with the brass accents, I wanted to show you these today as copper is still very much an ongoing trend. Called Last Stool, it takes its name from the mandrel used by shoemakers to flatten a piece of leather into the shape of a foot and describes something that

We're all still loving the metallic trend and while some of us are currently in love with brass (naming no names) copper is still hugely popular and looks fantastic in almost any setting. These gorgeous pictures are all from Out There Interiors and illustrate brilliant how a few touches will really update your space. Try

copper tea light holders from maud interiors I don't often go mad for a tealight holder but these really caught my eye. Maybe it's because I spent a large chunk of yesterday afternoon tramping through the autumn leaves in the pouring rain. Maybe it's because there's a distinct chill in the air now. Maybe it's

modernist Danish table lamp in copper from Plumo Copper is the metal of the moment. I'm a huge fan of metallics and have written about copper before on these pages. It's great for lighting as it's a little softer than gold or brass and its soft pink glow goes so well with the dark greys

Metallic has been a strong trend for a while now but this year it has softened from gold and silver to softer sheens such as copper and pewter. I'm a huge fan of copper and really wanted a copper kitchen sink but at the time it was difficult to get matching taps and pipework so

It's time to share the new bathroom with you all and I'm excited to show you as it was a big transformation in a small room. When we moved in there was a power shower (that didn't work) over the bath, a loo that was very close to the radiator and a door that opened
