For a blogger, I'm rather camera-shy - I set up These Four Walls back in 2014 and I could probably count on one hand the number of photos of myself that I've posted since then. But I couldn't resist sharing a few images from our engagement shoot with talented film photographer Louise of Taylor & Porter, who I recently interviewed and who will be capturing our wedding in May. The shoot took . . .
A road trip through Liguria
Last autumn Chris and I embarked on a mammoth road trip through the Liguria region of northern Italy, reviewing hotels for my day job with i-escape. We flew into Pisa and followed the coast all the way round to the French border and back again, travelling more than 1000km over the course of a week. A packed schedule left little time to explore, but I was so struck with the colours and textures we . . .
Spring table styling from House Doctor
To mark the first day of March, I wanted to share a bit of spring styling inspiration from Danish homeware brand House Doctor, which has just released its latest catalogue. These images show pieces from House Doctor's tableware range, and I was instantly drawn to the calmness and simplicity on display. The collection was inspired by the idea of slowing down and savouring every moment - from . . .
New furniture & homeware finds | February 2017
Over the past few weeks I've been sharing some of the fantastic new-season homeware collections that have emerged from Scandinavia and elsewhere, but there are a few individual product launches which I feel deserve some attention, too. So, time for another round-up of the designs that have appeared on my radar recently... . . .
How to introduce pink into your home
Pink is most definitely having a bit of a moment. I'm not talking about bright fuschia pink, but more muted, sophisticated shades - pale blush pink, powdery rose pink, and earthy pink with a hint of terracotta (think the colour of Moroccan adobe walls). They've been popping up all over the place for a while now, and with good reason: they're both warming and calming, and they look . . .
Recipe | Rhubarb & honeycomb porridge
During the week, I'm not really a breakfast person. I tend to wake up early, do a bit of blog work, and then grab a quick coffee or a glass of orange juice before dashing out to my day job. At weekends, though, it's a different story. For me, Saturday and Sunday mornings are precious downtime, when I often laze in bed for hours with a good book. Delicious food is essential, of course, and so I'm . . .
Review | The Emma mattress
Chris and I have a dilemma which I’m sure many couples share: he sleeps on his front and prefers a soft mattress, whereas I tend to sleep on my back and prefer a firmer one. We’ve always ended up compromising with something in the middle, which means that neither of us is ever truly comfortable. So, when I was asked to review the Emma mattress, which is designed to suit every body type and . . .
A winter weekend at Artist Residence Cornwall
There's something so invigorating about being by the sea in winter: the crashing waves, the empty beaches, the vast skies, the beautifully crisp light... Nothing beats it for blasting away any lingering post-Christmas cobwebs, and so the other weekend Chris and I hopped in the car and journeyed down to the western tip of Cornwall for a sneaky coastal getaway. Our base was Artist Residence . . .
Spring-summer 2017 collection from Ferm Living
Today I have images of another fantastic new-season collection from Scandinavia to delight your eyes, this time from Danish brand Ferm Living. This year, Ferm has blended contemporary Nordic style with influences from bygone eras. The result is a mix of decadent materials and sleek Scandinavian lines which is somehow both extravagant and highly functional. . . .
Home tour | Ancient meets modern in Girona
Another week, another beautiful abode to feast your eyes upon. Today I'm taking you to Girona in Catalonia, northern Spain, for a peek at not one but two wonderful apartments. Set in a 16th-century house in the shadow of the city's cathedral, they were designed by Barcelona-based architect Anna Noguera, who now lets them out as holiday rentals. Both are a beautiful combination of ancient and . . .
