Sorry for the lack of posting, we’ve been away in Glasgow followed by a brief trip to Portsmouth and now we’re finally back in London. Today has been spent continuing to pack up David’s flat ready for the move on Saturday. Everything is pretty much all ready to go now – the plan from here…
Read MoreFeeling shifty
As our new pad is fully furnished, we now annoyingly have too much furniture. We both have our own beds and wardrobes which we now have to find a way to get rid of. The wardrobe proved to be an easy task and one which provided much needed stress release – a simple, flat pack…
Read MoreJoining forces
In order to make the living together as seamless as possible, we’ve decided to be grown ups and get a joint account. Needless to say, the process isn’t as exciting as we’d like it to be. It’s definitely an option we’d been thinking about and upon reflection, it’s the easiest thing to do. As we’re…

Fashion: weekending Packing for Glasgow, David experienced the biggest annoyance for city getaways – his weekend bag zip broke. This got us searching for an ideal holdall. If you want to truly invest in a good quality weekend holdall then we’d suggest heading to Selfridges, Harvey Nichols or Liberty. If you are on a bit…

On to the exciting world of saucepans! Our kitchen is going to be most certainly in need of some essentials and pots and pans are up there on our list. Annoyingly however whilst having a look and doing some research we’ve come to discover that it can get quite costly. Not as costly as casserole…
Read MoreLast night a DJ saved our lives…
Music is such a big part of our lives that we want to somehow incorporate this into our interiors! Now, we don’t actually have a record player, but Mark does have a lot of vinyl that he’s picked up over the years. Together we have pretty eclectic music taste and sometimes we do disagree, but…

Fashion: I’m only happy when it rains With our trip to Scotland just around the corner and the sunshine not *quite* on Leith, we have decided it’s time to invest in a decent waterproof. This Reclaimed Vintage Rain Jacket is the perfect colour clash we need to brighten up our ‘Summer’ holiday. An exclusive to ASOS,…
Read MoreHanging some statements
Our new pad is adorned with lovely high shelves which is perfect for us as it means hassle free wall hangings. The hallway specifically has long shelving on both sides of the wall which stretches from near the front of the hall right to the kitchen. We already have some lovely prints and photographs to…
Read MoreWorkin’ at the Bureau
Two workstations have been introduced to us this week, one from Cult Furniture and another from Ikea. Both lovely, we had our sights set on the little orange number and were planning on buying it in September until we noticed this cutie. En route for cocktails with a friend, we were walking passed Oasis in…
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…
Read MoreWaiting game
We’re currently at that weird in-between stage where nothing really is happening but everything feels as if it should. Since we got the news that the flat is ours we knew that we’d have to fill out forms, have our referencing accepted, pay the deposit and other admin fees, pack, book the removal vans and…

Fashion: A bit of a loose thread Ever wanted a celebrity stylist? Now you can with the new personal shopping experience from Thread.com. We spotted this on a sponsored post on Facebook and were intrigued. Simply put in where you like to shop and your budget, plus some personal preferences and a photo of yourself…
Read MoreWash your hands
There are plenty of lovely touches you can make to your bathroom to ‘jazz’ it up. Shower curtains can become a piece of hanging art, a change of toilet seat can add humour and towels and bathmats can completely change the mood and feel. With this mind, we’re looking to bathroom sets; toothbrush holders, soap…
Read MoreFools for bar stools
After gutting David’s room, we took a little stroll down to the charity shops in Northwood with some of his less prized possessions… While there we spotted these fantastic solid bar stools for £9.99 each. Now we know the fabric on them is just a little bit rancid, but with a little love, these could…
Read MoreBoxing it up
Yesterday marked the start of David packing. August for us is quite a busy month; with planned drinks and birthdays, to a week long trip to Glasgow followed by a weekend in Portsmouth. That means that with the moving date being September 6th, the big day is going to creep up faster than you can…
