Recipe | Artichoke, garlic & cannellini bean soup

Recipe - artichoke, garlic & cannellini bean soup | These Four Walls blog

It's a strange time of year, don't you think? There are signs of spring everywhere, but the weather is still catching up. One minute it's freezing cold and I find myself craving hearty winter comfort food; the next, the sun appears and I want to tuck into fresh, new-season greens. Luckily, the latest recipe from Kym Grimshaw of food blog On the Plate is perfect for this in-between stage. It . . .

Home tour | A house of contrasts near Copenhagen

Home tour - a house of contrasts near Copenhagen | These Four Walls blog

It's time for another home tour and, inspired by the contemporary Suffolk farmhouse which I featured back in January, I've decided to share another beautiful house from Danish design gurus Norm Architects. Set in the seaside town of Vedbæk, to the north of Copenhagen, it was originally built in 1853 and retains many period features, including exposed rafters and a stunning staircase which . . .

Entitled 'Boho', it was inspired by the idea of slowing down, enjoying everyday life and focusing on the things which really matter - a theme that's becoming ever more popular in this turbulent world of ours, and . . .

Hotel Danmark - Copenhagen | These Four Walls blog

I have a bit of design-related travel news to start the week, as I've just discovered that Brochner Hotels, owner of long-time Copenhagen favourite Hotel SP34, is about to launch a brand-new base in the Danish capital. Called Hotel Danmark, it's due to open its doors to guests in April and, from the look of the press photos, it's going to be stunning. The interiors blend sleek Scandinavian . . .

Six of the best…. Scandinavian shelving systems

Six of the best Scandinavian shelving systems | These Four Walls blog

Shelving may not be the most exciting item of furniture, but it's perhaps one of the most essential - particularly if you yearn for minimal, clutter-free interiors. With that in mind, I decided to make versatile shelving systems the focus of my second 'Six of the best' round-up (you can see the first one here). As usual, Scandinavia has produced some of the most stylish designs, all with the . . .

Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist then so I'm using our anniversary as an excuse to share some of my favourite wedding photos.

I have so many happy memories from the day, but what I remember the most is all the laughter. And the funniest best men's (Chris had four!) speech I've ever heard. I wish we'd had a videographer just to capture that.

Anyway, thanks @small_round_things for the last eight years - and for the 13 before we actually got around to tying the knot!

Back on the grid after more than two weeks. Thanks Back on the grid after more than two weeks. Thanks to everyone who sent messages checking I was OK - I just lost my Instagram mojo and needed a bit of a break. Anyway, here are some phone-camera snippets of life lately...

1.  Guard cat on duty while I work
2.  Evening light hitting the last of the Japanese quince blossom in the garden 
3.  Country drives
4.  Coming across 17th-century graffiti while house-hunting
5 & 6.  A lazy Sunday stroll on Clevedon Pier, on one of those hazy days where the sea and sky seem to merge into one
7.  Keeping drooping spring blooms going for as long as possible 
8 & 9.  Wisteria at @ntbarringtoncourt in Somerset 
10.  Brunch at the always-wonderful @lunitapasteleria 
11.  Enjoying the balmy spring breeze 
12.  Stunning mosaic floors at Chedworth Roman Villa in Gloucestershire 
13.  Bluebell season
14.  My kind of wine
15.  Wild garlic

I now have this design in three different colourways around the house, and this is definitely my favourite to date!

A few weeks ago I travelled to Drammen in Norway f A few weeks ago I travelled to Drammen in Norway for the big project I'm working on (more on that soon), and while I was there I had a look around @askogeng's workshop. I've been a fan of their sustainable bamboo kitchens and furniture for a long time, so this was a real treat. And the space itself is full of the time-worn textures and beautiful details that always catch my eye.
