Trying to find a sofa that’s right for you can be a long and expensive process. However, if you look hard enough, sometimes the sofa will find you. David spied a bit of a find on Freecycle (one of our favourite resources) which might just fit a temporary bill in our new flat. Originally from…

Suns out, taps aff, here’s a sunshine inspired Friday Finds. Hooray for Summer! Fashion: Florals? For Spring? Ground breaking… Ideal for adding a summery touch to any outfit, we’re coveting this bag by Junya Watanabe (image below). With a price tag of £308, it’s sadly a little out of reach. There are however some great, cheaper, alternatives…
Read MoreThree’s a crowd, six is a freak show
Walking past local curry house The Cardamon Club in Tooting we notice a poster in the window. It’s a flat, so naturally, eyes peeled we investigate further. It’s a three (generously sized) double bedroom flat located above the Indian takeaway. We ask for further information and find that it’s a newly refurbished, furnished, two storey…
Read MoreBrickin’ it
After spending what seems like a lifetime (actually one day) painting Mark’s current room, we’ve gotten a little bit obsessed with exposed brick walls. After seeing this flat in Tooting, we’re considering holding out for a property that incorporates this unlikelly design feature. Combining New York loft with Parisian bohemia, an exposed brick wall brings…
Read MoreA Veranda for Verano…
Despite the wet weather, we are still aspiring for a sunny balcony in our prospective flat. There’s nothing better than sitting out in the sunshine with a cheeky glass of vino, some snacks and soaking up the rays. With the lack of green space in London, we think a balcony is the best way to…
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 MoreConverting to Victorian…
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…
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.…

Read MoreDreaming of Du Cane Court
A stone’s throw from Balham Tube Station, Du Cane Court really is the dream for us. An eight floor Art Deco apartment block, the building has been a feature of South London since it opened in 1937. The building’s distinctive shape meant it was used as a navigational landmark for German pilots during the Second…
