Not quite sure that this week could have been any more bizarre really, as I seem to have had the poor old GMP on speed dial.

Cages, cinematography and cable at Urban Cottage Industries
It seems to be all things lighting so far this week as I source products for not only two client jobs but also my own home, our Moregeous Mansions refurb.

I boxed off decisions for Project Pad today, a small hotel style rental for short term let which we're getting ready to pop on the market in March. As it's a compact room, all the elements have to work brilliantly together for the scheme to work as a whole, the bed & headboard, the flooring,... Continue Reading →
Sugar coated pastel sockets and switches
Yep, Spring is definitely here when your eye is drawn to pastels and Easter Egg shaped stuff. I was checking out some sockets and switches for a client and spotted these on the VariLight site. I don't think they're brand new, but it's the first time I've seen them and they made me smile, much... Continue Reading →
