A few weeks ago Chris and I spent a night at swish Somerset B&B Swain House - a handy stopover on a weekend-long, West-Country-wide hunt for our perfect wedding venue. It sits in the small harbour town of Watchet, sandwiched between the Exmoor hills and the Bristol Channel, and from the outside it looks like any other Georgian house lining the High Street. But inside it's a different matter: . . .
Home tour | A monochrome London apartment
Instead of my normal last-Friday-of-the-month 'Room Envy' post, I have another beautiful home to share with you today – the second London property which I was lucky enough to nose around during last weekend’s event with Function + Form and Houzz (you can see the first one here). Set in a converted school in Hackney, this two-bedroom loft apartment is owned by interior designer Laura Lakin, who . . .
Styling spring flowers with Addition Store
At this time of year I always feel the pull of the great outdoors – I want to be among the blossom, breathing in fresh spring air and enjoying the sudden hint of warmth in the breeze. Even when I have to retreat indoors, I like to have reminders of the season dotted around the house, so this week I’ve been experimenting with easy spring flower arrangements with the help of vases from homeware . . .
Home tour | A restored Georgian townhouse in East London
I have a home tour with a difference for you today, as it's a house which I had the pleasure of mooching around in person over the weekend. I was visiting thanks to Tiffany Grant-Riley of Curate & Display and Annie Kruse of Style Juicer, who have joined forces to launch a series of design-focused gatherings known as Function + Form. Their latest event, organised in association with home renovation . . .
‘Botanics’ art prints (& discount!) from Ross & Brown
As you might have gathered from my ‘Urban Jungle Bloggers’ posts, I love having plants around the house. I also love having lots of interesting art on display, so when the two come together I’m a very happy lady. Some of my favourite plant-related artwork to date is the ‘Botanics’ series of prints by Dutch graphic designer and watercolour artist Maaike Koster, supplied by My Deer Art. It’s now . . .
Home tour | A rustic Greek villa with a contemporary edge
For my latest home-tour post I’m heading to sunnier climes; specifically, to the beautiful Greek island of Ithaca and the equally beautiful Villa Kalos. Set amid a sea of olive and almond trees, with only bleating goats for neighbours, this rambling old farmhouse has been completely transformed by South African photographers Robbert Koene and Gerda Genis. When they first purchased the building . . .

![[AD - PR product] I'm getting in the mood for my trip to the Norwegian Arctic on Thursday with 'Skydance' by @aulilondon - a scented candle inspired by the ethereal magic of the Northern Lights. With layers of pine, Siberian fir, cedarwood and iris, it's delicate, fresh, uplifting and gently mysterious - it somehow really does capture the wonder of the Aurora.
I've been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights a few times before, in Iceland and Finnish Lapland (pictured). I'm keeping everything crossed they make an appearance in Norway, especially as the friend I'm travelling with has never seen them, despite living in Sweden for several years! The weather forecast isn't looking too promising at the moment though...
