We've all been lusting over white marble for what seems like ages now but the adoration for all things lux-stone doesn't seem to be abating. Indeed, it grows a pace with every passing Pinterestable week. There was black marble at both London Design Week in 2015 & Clerkenwell 2016 but I've spotted something else quite gorgeous...

I don't use it everywhere simply because budgets don't allow,... Continue Reading →

Everyone loves a good project right, but how would you feel about about a super sized room in super high temperatures on a super tight time scale! Let me tell you none of those things are putting us or the heritage Withington Baths' staff off, oh no. They/re made of tough Northern stuff here. Let's take a... Continue Reading →
