I guess in the professional sense, I've been a very remiss blogger this last few weeks. After Interiors UK in Birmingham, I posted a initial flurry of gorgeous design shots, then out of the blue came a post about campaigning, then silence. Life eh, that thing that comes along to smack you in the face... Continue Reading →
The Vintage Home Fair at Victoria Baths, Manchester
Just a few days at home is enough to get my batteries recharged and find some eclectic Manchester inspiration for our fourth and final TV episode of Half Built House. I saw a tweet about an event at the incredible Victoria Baths, a restoration work-in-progress of what was described as the finest municipal bathing facilities in... Continue Reading →

Just a few weeks earlier we'd all been butt naked in the name of art... Continue Reading →
Reviews: A Visit to the Vintage Fabric & Antique Textile Fair, Manchester
