Mark’s wardrobe is where the breton print goes to die – he is never one to turn down a nautical striped tee or jumper and his love for stripes continues in the home. Here’s our round-up of products that keep us on the straight and narrow… As you can see, stripes don’t need to be…
Read MoreThe little green chair that could
We’ve already been lucky enough to bag ourselves this little beauty from a local charity shop which we’re completely smitten with and now after a trip home to David’s parents for Easter we have another armchair lined up… After taking up an upholstery course, this chair was given to David’s mum and step-dad to work…
Read MoreUpcycle and away
The idea of upcycling is not a new thing, but with the rise in the vintage trend and consumer’s needs for cheaper options than before means that we are buying more and more second-hand goods. Certainly no strangers to it, we love buying something with a story. However, we don’t exactly have the funds to…

We’re huge fans of old fables and children’s stories (David actually collects old Edward Gorey books), and there’s just something about these pieces from Lush Designs that evokes the child within us! David was first introduced to this brand a couple of years ago when…
Read MoreParadise found
A holiday to a tropical paradise might be a pipe dream to us right now while we save to furnish our dream flat, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be inspired by exotic vistas and serene beaches while we ponder interiors. Until we can board a ten-hour flight to somewhere hot and sunny, we thought…
Read MoreThe perfect sale for urban finds
Ever since Mark saw a coloured chandelier hanging from the Urban Outfitters store in Glasgow he’s been obsessed with their home section. It wasn’t until we both paid a visit to the High Street Kensington branch one afternoon that we discovered our mutual love for cat print cushions, tribal print rugs and any kind of…
Read MoreA chair affair
Once upon a Saturday, we took a wander into our new favourite charity shop in Tooting Bec, Oasis Wandsworth, which has a wide selection of clothes, shoes, bric-a-brac and furniture. Whilst having our weekly browse in this budget haven, David spotted this quaint little armchair without a price. The floral tapestry really appealed to one…
