It’s time for another home tour, and today I’m heading all the way over to Australia for a peek at this envy-inducing Melbourne pad. Set in the North Fitzroy district, it’s an excellent example of how small city spaces can be maximised to suit modern living. It was designed by architectural duo Pipkorn & Kilpatrick, who managed to reconfigure a one-bedroom terrace (once a stable block) into . . .
A week on my feet
This is a paid partnership with Luxury Flooring, but all words and opinions are my own I get quite a few emails from brands asking me to take part in various projects and I don't say yes to very many, but every now and then something really interesting pops into my inbox. One such invitation recently arrived from Luxury Flooring, which sells a huge range of affordable floor materials. . . .
Guest room makeover
You might remember that a few months ago I wrote about our plans for transforming our guest rooms. It's taken a while as a boiler replacement and water leaks disrupted our schedule, but I'm finally ready to share the results of the first makeover. This is the smaller of our two spare bedrooms - it's little more than a box, really - and it's also home to the boiler cupboard. That means there's . . .
Home tour | A sleek Berlin houseboat
It's time for another home tour and, as I have all things Berlin on my mind at the moment, this beautiful houseboat in the German capital seemed like the obvious choice. Moored on Lake Rummelsburg (a serene inlet of the River Spree), this contemporary home makes a wonderful retreat from the city hubbub. It's owned by Chris Laugsch and his brother Oliver, who stumbled across it by accident and . . .
Linnen | Berlin
A few weeks ago Chris and I hopped over to Berlin to celebrate / commiserate his 40th birthday. I’ll post some of our city discoveries next week, but first I want to share a peek inside Linnen, the lovely B&B which became our home for a few days. In fact, ‘home’ is the perfect word to describe this place: it’s relaxed, stylish and oh-so comfortable. It occupies the first two floors of a . . .
Summer flower arrangements with Dartington Crystal
Last week I was lucky enough to be among a group of bloggers invited to a summer flower-arranging workshop hosted by British brand Dartington Crystal and Jo Wood of Bath-based florist Flowers by Passion. The workshop took place at Flowers by Passion HQ, which sits in a rustic stone barn surrounded by banks of lavender and cow parsley. After a stressful couple of months (and a very tumultuous . . .

![[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...
