One of our tenant couples moved out last week, taking with them their bed and leaving a big space! I like providing the Brimnes Ikea beds as they look great, plus are very sturdy with incorporated storage in the form of four big drawers as part of the frame. This stops boxes and crates being...

How to use Cork in your interior design scheme
The word 'cork' used to conjure up two feelings for me, happiness at the fabulous pop of a champagne bottle and revulsion at the slimy hideousness of a unloved bathroom floor!
