2014 is all about personalisation and creativity, so how about some vintage sunshine in the form of these rather beautiful printed blinds by Nottingham based company Creatively Different?

How to have a Chalet Chic Christmas
Last year I was asked to revamp a dining space which was already full of potential but hadn't quite been pulled together properly.

But those over armband age know how very quickly time... Continue Reading →
