Had an email from the couple who currently rent this featured apartment to say that they're buying a property so will be moving out in a month. Normally around this time of year we've already had a flurry of 'movers', tenants changing jobs, changing partners and changing property, but this year, so far, these are... Continue Reading →
How to tile bathrooms or kitchens using Metro or subway tiles
(Addendum: I wrote this post back in 2011 and we ALL know how popular metro / subway tiles have become since then.

Design: Bronzing more than the turkey this Christmas
I've had a bit of a love affair with copper the last couple of years, finding molten bronze shades warmer and more appealing than straight silvers and gob-smacking, however as our house STILL remains unrenovated, this passion is largely conducted by way of salivating at trade shows and the odd small purchase.
