B is for Books
I’m a writer. And before that, I’m a reader. So, one of the things I imagine my house to one day have, is lots of books. Although I’ve managed the expectations that the Beauty and the Beast library set up for me, I do still have high hopes for my future bookcases. Just in case...
Currently coveting: Minnie Mouse Ice Lolly Kit
I know, I know, not very cool right? But look how cute this is! I don’t know anyone that could turn down a refreshing lolly in a Minnie Mouse holder, do you? Only problem is, you can’t buy them anymore! ‘Seasonal’ apparently, pah. Fingers crossed they bring them back this summer.
G is for Geometric
Working for an interiors retailer you’d think I’d be bored of furniture, bored of upholstery and bored of thinking about what looks good with what in your home. But actually it’s turned something that was a casual interest into a semi-obsession. Even when I’m not working I spend hours trawling through the ‘home’ boards on...
The perks of being a juicer
If you’d asked me what my favourite Christmas present was about 20 years ago, I reckon my Slyvanian Families gypsy caravan would have been a strong contender. However, now I’m older and bestowed with far more sophisticated and domesticated tastes I can quite confidently state that the best Christmas present I have received since the...
The School of Stuff
What follows is a special guest post from the wonderful Jody Cooper. 2013- check list of things to do- see a bit more of the world, follow through with my idealistic-yet-never-materialise statements, such as ‘I will only eat meat from an animal who lived a happy life in a large field with his pals...

Minty fresh
Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with home interiors. Redecorating my room a thousand times in my head and moving all the furniture around to move it back again 6 weeks later. It’s probably where my love for The Sims developed. But now I’m an adult (pah) and I’m renting in London,...
A picture is worth a thousand words
Since moving house, I have been obsessed with finding quirky prints and bits of art to brighten up my walls. I actually spend a few hours a week trawling through etsy and suchlike trying to choose something that I love enough to part with my cash for. Here are a few of the ones I...
Currently coveting…Wall pugs
Pugs are good aren’t they? I mean, they might not be the smartest of pooches in the dog world but they are certainly a force to be reckoned with in the ‘wanna squeeze your face’ stakes. I’m a little bit obsessed with pugs actually (so too is BP, she won’t mind me saying this) but...
Don’t be a doormat
Lately, I have developed a bit of an obsession with door mats. There’s no real reason why. I don’t have my own house, let alone my own front door but I can’t help but collect pictures of these quirky little guys. I actually have that last one, in my bottom...
Stairway to heaven?
Walking up stairs can be a bit of a chore sometimes. You know, you’re downstairs watching TV and you’ve left your cardigan all the way upstairs, which at this point in time could be Everest for all you know. But, stairs would never be anything but fun if you were to decorate them like the...
Girl Crush….Rachel Khoo
I think, if I’m being honest, I’m a little bit in love with Rachel Khoo. Not only is she an amazing chef, she is super stylish and has a fantastic fringe – what more can you ask for? Even though she is well known for learning to bake in Paris, she was actually born in...
