Before the dreaded move, those lovely folk at Houzz came to our Tooting flat for a peek around and a wee chat.

We’re in the Houzz
You might have spotted on Twitter that we’re now contributing to Houzz UK! We love the site and it’s always been one of our go-tos for inspiration, even before it arrived from the ‘States. Luckily for us, we get to write about what we know best – how to make the most of your home…

Fashion: Percival for Traidremade We definitely support sustainable and ethical fashion, so when we came across this latest collaboration with fashion reuse charity Traid we couldn’t help but rave about it. Traid do some amazing work and support initiatives looking to spread the word on sustainability – much like their involvement with EMG. Their ethical clothing…

Greetings everyone! We write this with a cup of tea whilst sat at the kitchen table in our new flat with big smiles on our faces. Firstly, you’ll have to excuse us for the delay in posting – moving, unpacking, heading back to work and a lack of internet has meant that we haven’t been…

If you follow either of us on Twitter or Instagram (and if you don’t then why ever not – details here), then you’d probably have noticed that we have been up to our eyeballs in boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… and more boxes…. Once we had moved in to the flat we took much delight…

Fashion: EMG x SEWA Collaboration for Estethica at LFW With support from Monsoon, charity initiative EMG (which you may remember their debut ‘Salvage T’s’ cycle) have teamed up with Indian women’s charity SEWA for a special project for Estethica at LFW. As always, they’ve used waste fabrics – this time provided by Monsoon – to create…

Today we’re picking up the keys, potentially arguing with our delivery driver and breaking our backs moving boxes. Tomorrow we’ll fill you in on how it all went but for now wish us luck and look out Tooting Broadway – we’re coming! David & Mark x
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…

Fashion: Thicker than water We’re loving Lanvin‘s Autumn/Winter 2014 campaign. Take one amazing British model (Edie Campbell) and chuck in the rest of her family including mum Sophie Hicks, sister Olympia and grandmother Joan Campbell, plus some dapper gents (dad, grandfather, brother, and even Edie and Olympia’s boyfriend’s, Otis and Mateo), and you have yourself…
Read MoreThe search ends!
It’s so strange – when we started the blog back in April actually coming to look and find a flat seemed like a million miles away. We always said that when the beginning of August hit we’d begin the search to find the perfect abode and it just so happened that on Saturday we decided…
Read MoreThe search begins…
So after nine months of waiting and four months of blogging it was finally time to go on our first viewing – scary! With one appointment booked in and the best intentions of going to as many other as we could, we set off for Tooting Broadway early on Saturday morning. However, it didn’t quite…
Read MoreThe London quandry…
Having experienced the cramped and claustrophobic conditions that come with sharing a studio when Mark lived in Walthamstow, the thought of renting a studio flat gets us less than excited. However, we couldn’t help but spot this quirky and cosy studio space on Dalebury Road. Living in the roof space of a property is quite…
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…
