Read MoreHow to create a flooring masterpiece
One of the main things we loved about our new place was the painted floorboards. Both the kitchen and the lounge have lovely white painted boards which give the room a rustic feel, as well as brightening it up a bit. However, we can’t help but notice that our kitchen floor isn’t looking quite as…
Read MoreDon’t be scared to be a hoarder
Whilst packing up ready for the move we came across a clattering bag which we completely forgot about and it turns out that it was a year ago that we had bought, packaged them up and placed them in to hibernation ready for there awakening in the new flat. We spotted this Scandi coffee set…
Read MorePerfect plates
David loves to cook, Mark loves to host, we both love to drink, so it’s only a matter of time before we start having plenty of dinner parties. We’ve already thought of the perfect cutlery now we need the perfect plates! At the moment we have some random dinner plates which are Mark’s and David’s…
Read MoreGoing potty
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 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 MoreJuice time
Some more pieces purchased for the flat. This time… cups! We found these glass cups in T.K Maxx and thought they were really cute. Branded with different logos including “absolutely pure milk” and “juice time”, and at a bargain price of £1.49 each (we brought 6 in total), we couldn’t resist their charm. Having already…
Read MoreHandi Skandi
Now that we’ve secured our flat (still bouncing off the walls) we’re compiling a list of things we need which we can slowly tick off one by one, from pots and pans to towels and plates. One of the things on the list are tea towels, a simple kitchen textile which easily gets overlooked. There…
Read MoreWhites and brights
As we’ve expanded our search for a flat South, towards Tooting Broadway, we spotted this quaint two-bedroom terraced house on Lessingham Avenue. Just a five minute walk to both Tooting Bec and Broadway stations, the flat is still in our perfect location in this South London bubble! The large kitchen in this property is made…
Read MoreFishing for a winner
With money on our mind, we were eager to see what we could get if we expanded our radius nearer towards Tooting Broadway. We had not really considered this side of the area because we don’t know it all too well and because the Balham side is just that little bit closer to work. Having…
Read MoreGrand Interiors Aspirations
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 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! We love that the building has a 24-hour porter – what else would you expect from this Art Deco slice of history.…
