Over a year ago we were having a big old moan about our boring white bedroom walls. As a reminder, this is what they looked like… Boring right! A year later and we couldn’t take it a minute more and so during a trip to the Botticelli Reimagined exhibition at the V&A, we spotted an…
Read MoreBattling the beasties
We’re at war everyone. We’re at war with the slugs and snails which are eating our beloved garden plants.

Read MoreEgg-cellent Easter ideas
It’s that time of year again when a creepy bunny breaks in to your home, litters it with teeth-rotting treats and then slyly hops away leaving you with a handful of sugar fueled children and a heap of recycling. Hooray for Easter. On the flip side, ours is always spent snuggled up back at David’s…

Read MoreStriping us happy
Mark’s wardrobe is where the breton print goes to die – he is never one to turn down a nautical striped tee or jumper and his love for stripes continues in the home. Here’s our round-up of products that keep us on the straight and narrow… As you can see, stripes don’t need to be…
