It’s the end of another busy week, and I’m looking forward to relaxing over a lazy, wine-fuelled Friday dinner. I reckon this beautiful Scandinavian-style dining room would make the perfect setting, so it seemed like a good choice for my second ‘Room Envy’ post (you can read the first one here). There are so many things I love about this room: the delicate silvery-grey colour on the walls, the . . .
Review | Linen bedding from Soak & Sleep
I’ve seen linen bedding popping up all over the place lately, and I love the way it looks – relaxed, inviting, effortlessly stylish. I’ve also heard that it leads to a better night’s sleep, as its loose, natural flax is more breathable, absorbs more moisture and dries faster than tightly woven fabrics.

The Lifestyle Wall by Rooms Made For You
Last week I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon hanging out with TV architect George Clarke (of Amazing Spaces and Restoration Man fame) and a lovely bunch of fellow bloggers over bubbly and nibbles.

Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Art
Urban Jungle Bloggers is back from its summer break and this month’s theme, ‘plants and art’, is a particularly interesting one. The challenge set by hosts Igor (of Happy Interior Blog) and Judith (of JOELIX.com) was to show beautiful combinations of paintings, sculptures, prints and greenery, but I couldn’t resist interpreting it in a slightly different way and using my favourite plants to create . . .
