Read MoreMarble has become increasingly trendy this year – on a recent peek around Sainsbury’s home section we noticed beautiful marble and wood chopping boards, it’s such a gorgeous combination of rustic yet keeping it luxe. For us though, it’s lighting which is a winner this season. From floor lights to table lamps, marble base lighting…
Read MoreThis time of year we all want to be the great entertainer, but what are the staple things we all look out for at a party? Alcohol. Let’s not even try and lie about the situation – December is for indulgence and try as we might, we always end up eating and drinking far too…

Read MoreSo 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 MoreWith the turning of the seasons comes that annoying point where you have to dust off those winter coats and start thinking about layering up… depressing isn’t it! As we’re moving in together next week, we did notice how many coats and jackets we have between us and it got us thinking; where are we…
Read MoreThere 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 MoreAfter 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 MoreAs you’ve probably seen, our new flat is going to come with a few ‘period-esque’ features.

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 MoreWhen 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…
Read MoreThe Summer months are around the corner and what better way to lighten up the home then with some neon brights. Happy Jackson have a great range of whimsical slogan kitchenware – David even has the ‘Yay lunch’ lunchbox! – and Oliver Bonas have great accessories including these wire candleholders which are ideal for jazzing up…
