A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win copies of the first two issues of Openhouse in a giveaway run by the lovely Lou of Littlegreenshed. It’s safe to say that I fell in love with this wonderful magazine as soon as I turned the cover: published twice a year, it features people across the world who open their homes to others for various reasons, and it’s produced by two Barcelona-based . . .
Home tour | A dark, dramatic house in Bristol
I blogged last month about the look book of stylish Bristol homes that I’ve put together with independent estate agents Elephant, and now I want to share a peek inside one of the properties featured. This four-bedroom Victorian house in the leafy St Andrews area of the city is one of my favourites.

Garden furniture from Rowen & Wren
A couple of weeks ago I posted some inspiration for outdoor living and, now that summer finally seems to be putting in an appearance, we’re beginning to turn the plans for our garden into a reality. A few tomato and pepper plants have already sprung up (having a south-facing plot seems to have brought out the Good Life in us), and now we’re focusing on making the patio area usable in time for BBQ . . .
The Elephant & These Four Walls look book
It’s no secret that I love Bristol, the place which I’ve called home ever since moving here to start university in 2001.

Call me biased, but for me it’s . . .
Home tour | A dash of bohemia in Copenhagen
I want to kick off the week (a little belatedly, due to the UK Bank Holiday yesterday) by sharing some photos of a beautiful Copenhagen apartment which I stumbled across on Danish website Bo Bedre. I’m always a sucker for Nordic interiors, but what I love most about this scheme is the way owner Signe Toft (a lawyer who clearly has an eye for style) has seamlessly mixed Scandinavian minimalism . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | A ‘plant gang’
The latest Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge was to create a ‘plant gang’ – a grouping of plants in all shapes, sizes and textures that celebrates the rich diversity of greenery available. I’ve amassed quite a collection of plants over recent months – neat little succulents, leafy ferns, tumbling ivy, spikey spider plants. Until now they’ve been dotted all over the house, so I had lots of fun . . .
