    I recently went, and still am, going through a little bit of a self-doubting and questioning time. I am in my thirties, I am married, I am not ready for a baby yet, what should I eat tonight, why am I so afraid of flying, and what’s the meaning of life??? That escalated quickly! But…

    I shared with you the other day my sources of inspiration for our entry hall and corridor and today it is time for the big reveal! You would think that decorating a hall wouldn’t take that long, right? Coat hanger, shoe storage, boom, done! Well, I wish it would have been the case. We had…

    The main challenge with new builds in England is the absence of storage and the main challenge with our living-space in the new house is the absence of walls. As you can see on the picture below it is completely open plan with double-height ceilings. I therefore needed to create in this space a wine-cellar/bar-cart/book-storage, while…

    Our dining room isn’t really a room but a dining space as our living area is all open plan. For this area I wanted to create something contemporary and fresh with a rustic twist. Below is a picture of the space I am re-designing (apology for the low quality, it came from the estate agent).…
