All Hallows’ Eve is upon us… Why not bring a bit of this holiday season in to the home? So whether it’s a bowl for the sweets, something for egg and skull-diers or even a basket for a scary amount of laundry, here are a few items which are giving us the heebie-jeebies this Halloween.…
Read MoreOut seeing Such & Such
Thursday night and we found ourselves heading East towards The Old Truman Brewery, just off Brick Lane for the launch of the Such & Such pop-up, an interiors and fashion accessories e-tailer. The wonderful thing about Such & Such is that every product they stock has a story, from bags which are made from recycled…

The first thing we think of when we think of aqua is… However, here are some less tacky aqua-themed pieces for the home. Come on Barbie, let’s go shopping, David & Mark x
Read MoreCosy toes and perfect throws
So Autumn happened. All of a sudden the leaves turned that beautiful burnt orange, fell to the ground and crisped up. The temperature dropped, the coats emerged from the closet and scarves are now adorning peoples necks. On top of all that, Christmas lights have started going up in Tooting… This does mean however that…

Read MoreCreating our Secret Garden
You might have noticed while we gushed about our new home that its got a quaint little garden out the back. The good news is, it’s mostly decked or got slate down, so there’s no need to look after the grass! Perfect for us, as we haven’t exactly got green fingers. We’re conscious that we’re…

I spy with my little eye something beginning with… Today’s trend post is going to be all things beady eyed and inspired by our friend Sara’s lovely Zara dress. So whether it’s eyes on the floor, walls, office desk or table, here are a few printed pieces we’ve spotted which people won’t be able to…
Read MorePicking up a find on a Freecycle
Trying to find a sofa that’s right for you can be a long and expensive process. However, if you look hard enough, sometimes the sofa will find you. David spied a bit of a find on Freecycle (one of our favourite resources) which might just fit a temporary bill in our new flat. Originally from…

Read MoreTime for a fiesta
As fans of skulls, colour and Frida Kahlo, and seen as David has just started reading ‘The Lacuna’, we thought why not put together a Mexican inspired interiors post? We first got a penchant for Mexican interiors when Mark took a trip to Seattle in 2009 and stayed with a friend. Their house had a…
Read MoreOmbre you stay; dip-dye away…
After spending the weekend splishing and splashing in Tooting Bec Lido, we thought we’d take a dip into an ombre inspired trend post. For those who are not familiar with ombre, it’s basically graduated/fading colour, or dip dye if you will. Basically the same thing which most girls did with their hair last year except…
Read MoreArt Attack
We like our art. We might not the most knowledgeable but we like to visit exhibitions, galleries and installations. David, is a massive fan of Frida Kahlo so when we came across these eggs cups from Hunkydory Home we were inspired to put together an art led post. We hope these inspire you to create a…
Read MoreMonkeying around
Before Christmas David decided he wanted to make a patchwork quilt. Ideally, it would be a magic cape quilt, just like in Stepmom… but we’re sure he’d get some funny looks, so a grown-up quilt it is. Well, we use the term ‘grown-up’ loosely. Already, the fabric includes a clowder of cats, neon lights which say…
Read MoreArabian nights
When you’re dealing with rented accommodation it’s easy for your flat/studio/house to feel cold due to the decorating restrictions – you’re unable to paint the walls, flooring is, and stays, a grubby cream carpet, door knobs are dated and wallpaper is a big no-no. It’s not an unknown fact that interiors can help to warm…

Another week, another design show. Tuesday’s schedule included Clerkenwell Design Week, a three day design festival which showcases the best creative brands.
