One of my favourite discoveries over recent months has been Between Dog and Wolf, which sells a beautiful selection of design-led homeware and accessories from all over the world. I’ll be chatting to founder Kathryn about the range and where she finds her inspiration in a future post, but first I wanted to share a glimpse of her stunning Bristol home... . . .

Deck the halls | Part 2
Following last week's round-up of festive inspiration from around the web, here's a peek at how I've decorated my own home this year.
