I have another installment from our recent trip to Berlin today (if you missed last week's post about our wonderful B&B, Linnen, you can see it here). It's safe to say that the edgy, eclectic German capital captured our hearts from the moment we arrived. It isn't exactly pretty - it's shabby in places, with plenty of sprawling Soviet-era apartment blocks - but it buzzes with life and . . .
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 . . .

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 . . .
Profile | India May Home
I have another fantastic online shop to introduce to you today: India May Home. If you've ever read the 'About Me' section of this blog, you might have noticed that I describe my own interiors style as Nordic minimalism with a dash of bohemia, so the 'Scandi Boho' collection at India May Home is right up my street. The site was founded by Karen Birchenough, who was inspired by years of . . .
