Oh dear, I'm so fickle, I've fallen in lust again. There's a very forlorn looking rocking chair in my front (junk) room, which has been sitting around waiting for me to get inspired to paint it / customise it. The time has come! A quick dash into John Lewis on Sunday for some black grosgrain... Continue Reading →
Doh! Don’t leave your candles unattended…..
I definitely need to be more careful with candles. Thank goodness it didn't drip on my Living Etc's, that really would have been a trauma. It's going take me a while to live this one down in our house, living with a fireman and all that...... Anyone know how to get wax out of carpet?!

Amazing Palladio inspired limestone bath at Lapicida
During my its-nowhere-near-spring clean out, I've come across lots of articles which I've surreptitiously ripped from waiting room magazines and design leaflets collected from shows; some have been binned, some have been filed. But this image, wow, I have fallen in love. I was just about to throw away a rather boring looking black brochure... Continue Reading →
Back to work, no rest for the wicked
After three lovely, peaceful days on the West Coast of Ireland quietly wandering around Connemara beaches and holed up in a spa hotel, it's back to work with a vengeance.
