I’ve long been a fan of Danish homeware brand Tine K, which was founded in 1999 by Tine Kjeldsen and her husband Jacob Fossum, but I don’t think I’ve ever featured it in a post before. I knew that was going to change the moment I saw its latest collection, which blends Scandinavian simplicity with traditional crafts and a dash of bohemian flair. Like Tine K’s previous ranges, the autumn-winter . . .
Home tour | A Swedish apartment in white, grey & pink
It’s back to Scandinavia for my latest home tour: a beautiful apartment in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. This bright, airy abode instantly caught my eye because of its fresh colour scheme, which pairs crisp white walls and floorboards with soft greys and subtle dashes of pink. But the space still feels cosy and warm thanks to lots of lovely textures and patterns, including chunky woollen . . .
Easy ways to add marble to your home
Sleek white marble is one of those timeless, elegant materials that looks beautiful on everything from kitchen worktops to bathroom floors, but few people have the budget to buy big swathes of it for their home. Luckily, it's easy to introduce elements of marble through accessories, and there are lots of affordable products on the market at the moment. Some of my favourites come from Rose & . . .
A helping hand for bees
I have to confess that I’ve always been a little bit scared of bees and other buzzing insects (if one flies into the house, I tend to make a sharp exit!). But, after reading about the rapid decline in the bee population over recent years, I’ve decided it’s high time I got over my fear and did something to assist these vital creatures. I’ve been spurred on by family-run tea company Taylors of . . .
Recipe | Honey-baked peaches, marscapone & pistachios
One of the great joys of this time of year is the bounty of just-ripe summer fruit, and every morning I walk past grocery shops brimming with plump strawberries, juicy-looking plums and a rainbow of colourful berries. Peaches are perhaps my favourite, though - I have fond memories of devouring them at the end of the garden as a child, their sweet nectar dribbling down my chin, and as soon as I . . .
New furniture & homeware finds
Summer may still be in full swing (in fact, it's only just arrived here in the UK!), but homeware brands have already started releasing details of their autumn-winter 2016 collections, and all sorts of interesting things have been popping up in my inbox over recent days. Here’s a round-up of my favourites so far… . . .
Home tour | A minimalist family house in Melbourne
It’s time for another home tour, and today I’m heading all the way over to Australia for a peek at this envy-inducing Melbourne pad. Set in the North Fitzroy district, it’s an excellent example of how small city spaces can be maximised to suit modern living. It was designed by architectural duo Pipkorn & Kilpatrick, who managed to reconfigure a one-bedroom terrace (once a stable block) into . . .
A week on my feet
This is a paid partnership with Luxury Flooring, but all words and opinions are my own I get quite a few emails from brands asking me to take part in various projects and I don't say yes to very many, but every now and then something really interesting pops into my inbox. One such invitation recently arrived from Luxury Flooring, which sells a huge range of affordable floor materials. . . .
Berlin restaurants & cafés
Like all good holidays, our trip to Berlin involved a fair amount of eating and drinking, and the incredible array of restaurants and cafés meant we were spoilt for choice. For my final instalment from the city, here's a round-up of our favourite foodie discoveries... . . .
72 hours in Berlin
I have another installment from our recent trip to Berlin today (if you missed last week's post about our wonderful B&B, Linnen, you can see it here). It's safe to say that the edgy, eclectic German capital captured our hearts from the moment we arrived. It isn't exactly pretty - it's shabby in places, with plenty of sprawling Soviet-era apartment blocks - but it buzzes with life and . . .
