You know how it goes; the letterbox clatters and you raise your eyes to the ceiling and think – what bad news have we got today? Thanks to emails, whatsapps and other forms of digital media, the most that comes through the door these days is bills. Good old fashioned monotonous white envelopes. However, if…
Read MoreWe recently took ourselves down to Hoxton’s Geffrye Museum to see our good friend Mini Moderns and help them celebrate 10 years of creating fantastic design. Known to design pattern from mood, rather than a particular theme, Keith & Mark have a unique way of creating beautiful and highly detailed products. What was really great…

When the summer sun makes an appearance the barbecues heat up, gardens are full with friends and the cocktails are flowing. With this in mind, we’ve been looking at ways to make the best of entertaining and dining throughout the warmer months, and Achica have just the stuff… With the rising trend of cork in…
Read MoreWhilst 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 MoreDavid 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 MoreOn 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 MoreSome 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 MoreNow 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 MoreWe’ve had this post in the pipeline for quite some time now, but when we went to set it live we noticed that the cutlery which inspired it were no longer in stock on the website. Slap on the wrist for you West Elm! However, whilst having a recent browse online we noticed that, hallelujah,…
Read MoreWe love a good old Gumtree find and on Wednesday night we bagged ourselves a bargain. We’ve been wanting a trunk for a while now and the search has taken us from Wandsworth (a rather rude salesman) to Brick Lane (overpriced and underwhelming). So when we spotted this wooden trunk on Gumtree for the measly…
Read MoreAfter spending the weekend splishing and splashing in Tooting Bec Lido, we thought we’d take a dip into an ombre inspired trend post. For those who are not familiar with ombre, it’s basically graduated/fading colour, or dip dye if you will. Basically the same thing which most girls did with their hair last year except…
Read MoreWe like our art. We might not the most knowledgeable but we like to visit exhibitions, galleries and installations. 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 MoreYou 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…
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…
