A couple of weeks ago I shared an Instagram reel showing how I'd styled the table for a summer dinner party with friends. I had lots of people asking where various items came from, but I've had most of them for ages and sadly they're no longer available. So, I thought I'd use my latest instalment of 'The Edit' to round up some alternatives to help you recreate the look for yourself . . .

Home tour | A rustic-minimalist restoration in Ibiza
I'm always drawn to minimalist spaces that have a sense of place - spaces that are calm and understated, yet maintain a strong connection with their setting and surroundings. The subject of today's home tour is a beautiful example, and it instantly spoke to me when I saw a sneak peek on Instagram.
