First of all, I’d like to apologise for the lack of plant-related content in this latest Urban Jungle Bloggers post! The challenge set by hosts Igor and Judith this month was to style plants and ‘jungle animals’ (either pets, or animal-themed art), but I’d like to use it as an excuse to talk about something which is very close to my heart: adopting rescue animals. The handsome little chap in . . .
Home tour | A bright white family house
I’m incredibly excited about sharing a peek at this wonderful home as it belongs to one of my favourite Instagrammers, Olga Prinku. Olga was born in Moldova but now lives in the UK. I first came across her feed last year, and I instantly adored the hand-knitted products which she designs and creates – chunky throws, cushions, hats and even Christmas baubles, all made from the softest natural . . .
Spring & summer 2016 collection from Broste Copenhagen
I have another spring-summer collection to share with you today, this time from the ever-reliable Broste Copenhagen. Yet again, this Danish brand has come up with a stunning range of furniture and accessories, and there are some wonderful new pieces to tempt. What’s more, it was photographed at one of my favourite places, the Copenhagen Botanical Garden. For me, there are two sides to this . . .
The VIPP Shelter
You may remember me mentioning a feature about the importance of swapping city life for a few days of rural seclusion which I recently read in Oak - The Nordic Journal. Well, it included an account of a stay at the Vipp Shelter, a prefabricated cabin designed by Danish brand Vipp, and it left me intrigued to find out more. I've seen the shelter popping up on a few blogs and Pinterest boards . . .
Limited-edition prints from Alexandra Dao
I’m lucky enough to meet some truly inspiring creatives through this blog, and the subject of this post, Alexandra Dao, is no exception. Picture editor turned photographer Alexandra is based in London and creates beautiful limited-edition prints. She focuses on capturing the changing light – the way it dances on water or illuminates a petal – and many of her images use flowers as a subject. . . .
Room Envy | A lounge in spring-like shades
I know, I know – this photo seems a bit of a strange choice for this month's ‘Room Envy’ post, as you can’t actually see that much of the space in question. But the beautiful combination of soft, spring-like colours is the perfect antidote to a drizzly winter's day, and I couldn't resist sharing it. The room was styled to show off some of the furniture and accessories available from Danish . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Kitchen greens
I'm a bit late with my first Urban Jungle Bloggers post of 2016 as I've been waiting for enough light to take the photos. The challenge set by hosts Igor and Judith this month was to show off our 'kitchen greens' and, although I instantly loved the topic, our kitchen happens to be the darkest room in our house! As a result these aren't my best-ever images, but I still wanted to share them as I . . .
Home tour | A Berlin apartment filled with contrasts
What I love most about this 19th-century Berlin apartment, decorated by interior designer Annabell Kutucu and creative director Michael Schickinger (the duo behind the much-blogged-about San Giorgio Hotel on Mykonos), are the many contrasts it contains. Firstly, there’s a striking constrast between the wall colours used in the various rooms. Some, like the lounge and kitchen, are painted . . .
Recipe | Roasted roots with wild rice, griddled halloumi & tahini dressing
I’m very excited to launch a brand-new series in collaboration with fellow Bristol-dweller Kym Grimshaw, whose beautiful blog, On the Plate, is one of my favourite sources of food inspiration. I've been keen to incorporate some food content into These Four Walls for a while now, and Kym was the obvious person to ask. She has a passion for cooking and creates deliciously inventive dishes that . . .
Top Tips for Marrakech
I’m embracing the cold weather at the moment – I love waking up to crisp skies, icy breath and pavements that sparkle with frost, and of course I’m beginning to get very excited about my upcoming trip to Iceland. But while I plan for snow, I know others are craving a bit of sunshine. So, I thought I’d share some tips for exploring one of my favourite destinations for winter warmth: the bustling, . . .
