Ever since Mark moved into his current house in Trinity Road, we’ve loved the area. Handy for the tube, with plenty going on and a good sense of community (not to mention a great local pub!). We spotted this amazing split-level flat on Rightmove, which is actually just along the street from Mark’s current flat.…
Read MoreWhistle for me
You may have realised from our love of floral upholstery and cat tapestry that, although we’re all for contemporary prints and patterns, we certainly favour chintz interiors – coming across photographer Retts Wood’s canal boat home on The Selby and her adorable duck stovetop reaffirmed our love and with that said, one of the items…

At London’s Excel Centre, Grand Designs Live is just a short hop from Central London on the DLR (Be sure to get a seat up front and pretend to be the driver). As one of the UK’s largest consumer shows and with the friendly face of Kevin McCloud at the helm, the halls are split…
Read MoreBeautiful bedsides
After spying this cute little industrial-inspired bedside table in Mark’s friend’s flat, we started to think about how a bedside table can really change the aesthetic of a room. In this situation, the whole place could have gone a little bit Laura Ashley with a white wrought iron table (but potentially not the “Best Bitches”…

Controversial as it may be, we actually spotted a Victorian conversion flat outside of Du Cane Court that we really loved. Sticking to the SW17 postcode, this find is quite a quick walk to Tooting Bec Station – ideal for commuting. We also love this flat for its proximity to Tooting Bec Common. With its…

Inspired by one of David’s most recent purchases, we wanted to round up some of our forest favourites! The woodland trend has been around for some time now. Owls, foxes and hares have all had their 15 minutes of ELLE Deco fame. It is however, a trend which we still love. What better then whimsical woodland interiors…

Today is Star Wars Day and as not-such-a-secret fan, Mark would love to incorporate something Star Wars inspired into our flat – although David will NEVER let it happen… Mark spotted these retro Star Wars-inspired travel posters , which would definitely give an intergalactic accent to any room. Also encapsulating the retro trend, as well…
Read MoreFourth Floor Find
We recently spotted another ideal apartment in our favourite apartment building, Du Cane Court. This fourth floor flat would give us a great view, while not making the move in process too hard!
