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! Although there have been some products reinventing the material itself, they've generally been focused on alcohol consumption and bathing. I do like the products below found... Continue Reading →

Each visit to September's London Design Festival reveals certain trends (for want of a better word) which stand out as new for that year.

Oh, it was all going SO well!! When one of our tenants upcycled her life and moved from her nice but not so glam apartment into one of our super gorgeous ones, one of the pieces of furniture needed was a tv table. Down in the Moregeous Aladdin's Cave cellar I found a slightly bashed,... Continue Reading →
